SatNOGS, the biggest network of the kind, provides services for archiving and offline distribution of telemetry data. At the moment, an operator using the SatNOGS network is not able to receive telemetry in real-time and make use of the station uplink chain, when available, for direct com- manding. We believe that the community could benefit considerably from services that provide real-time monitoring and control over a distributed ground-station network. As a first step to address the current limitations we introduce in this contribution a newfreeand open source implementation of the CCSDS Space Link Extension (SLE) services in Python. The SLE standard, used by all major space agencies, is one of the most adopted CCSDS standards and is key to enable the inter-agency utilisation of ground-station networks like the Deep Space Network. Additionally, it is supported by most, if not all, private ground-station operators. SLE services have proven reliable, and can be used even for missions, like most CubeSats, that do not adhere to the CCSDS telemetry and telecommand frame and packet formats.

Ebinuma Surrey Space Centre, University of Surrey Guildford, Surrey GU2 7XH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1483 683882, [email protected] Abstract. Enabling technologies for nanosatellite formations will be demonstrated under the Formation Autonomy Spacecraft with Thrust, Relnav, Attitude, and Crosslink (FASTRAC) program. Two flight-ready nanosatellites will be designed, fabricated, integrated, and tested during the two year design period. Three speci¯c new and innovative technologies which will be demonstrated during the mission are Relative Navigation, Plasma Microthrusters, and Distributed Communications. A sensor set consisting of Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, magnetometer, and MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) will be used to determine position and coarse attitude. Using a radio crosslink, the two satellites will exchange state vector information and perform sub-meter level accuracy relative navigation. Each satellite will also contain a Microdischarge Plasma Thruster (MPT) developed at UT-Austin. This innovative device is capable of generating low-thrust, high-e±ciency propulsion at low power levels using microdischarge plasmas. The ability of the MPT to extend the life of the orbit will be determined by monitoring the orbit decay rates of the two vehicles as well as the MEMS IMU.

  • International Space Medicine Summit 2018
    INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2018 October 25–28, 2018 • Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy • Houston, Texas INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2018 October 25–28, 2018 • Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy • Houston, Texas About the Event As we continue human space exploration, much more research is needed to prevent and/or mitigate the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges spacefarers face. The International Space Station provides an excellent laboratory in which to conduct such research. It is essential that the station be used to its fullest potential via cooperative studies and the sharing of equipment and instruments between the international partners. The application of the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog research environments will not only lead to advances in technology and greater knowledge to protect future space travelers, but will also enhance life on Earth. The 12th annual International Space Medicine Summit on Oct. 25-28, 2018, brings together the leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts and educators from the world’s spacefaring nations for high-level discussions to identify necessary space medicine research goals as well as ways to further enhance international cooperation and collaborative research. All ISS partners are represented at the summit. The summit is co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Space Policy Program, Texas A&M University College of Engineering and Baylor College of Medicine. Organizers Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy The mission of Rice University’s Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.

  • Bibliographic Essay and Chapter Notes
    BIBLIOGRAPHIC ESSAY People make history; then, the history becomes documented through primary texts and official records. However, the history of Shuttle-Mir comes first from those who experienced it. This book presents the human side through a detailed chronology and background information. Much of the material was provided by the NASA Johnson Space Center Oral History Project for which dozens of Shuttle-Mir participants (see list below) offered their words, their stories, their memories. Historian Stephen Ambrose wrote in the introduction to his book, Citizen Soldiers, “Long ago my mentors … taught me to let my characters speak for themselves by quoting them liberally. They were there. I wasn't. They saw with their own eyes; they put their lives on the line. I didn't. They speak with an authenticity no one else can match. Their phrases, their word choices, their slang are unique — naturally enough, as their experiences were unique.” 1 Shuttle-Mir was likewise unique. And, its oral histories will continue through the years to illustrate the humanity and illuminate the importance of the Program. Also, this book reflects the changing of the times. The Internet came of age during the Shuttle-Mir Program, and many of the book’s sources reflect the Internet’s capabilities. For historical background, NASA history offices maintain an ever-growing library of electronic texts. NASA’s various Centers maintain Internet Web sites pertinent to their missions, such as the Shuttle launch records at Kennedy Space Center and human spaceflight information at the Johnson Space Center (JSC). During and after the Program, JSC hosted a Shuttle-Mir Web site that included weekly updates and interviews.

    Franklin Chang-Díaz, Chairman and CEO, Ad Astra Rocket Company: “The production of hydrogen through the electrolysis of water is a way of storing energy for use when needed” gerencia de riesgos y seguros Franklin Chang-Díaz, Chairman and CEO, Ad Astra Rocket Company: “The production of hydrogen through the electrolysis of water is a way of storing energy for use when needed” After earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in Plasma Physics, Franklin Chang-Díaz joined NASA in the early ‘80s as the first Latin American astronaut ever. Over 25 years of active service, he completed seven space missions and spent over 1,600 hours in space. After retiring, he founded Ad Astra Rocket, an aerospace engineering company that is researching electric propulsion engines and applying these advances to public transportation in his native Costa Rica The start of your space career dates back to the 1980s. What was the situation back then and what prospects were available? It was the start of the space shuttle era. Flights began in 1981, but they were very infrequent, as the technology was still under development. In 1980, there were only American astronauts at NASA, except for two Europeans (Claude Nicollier from Switzerland and Wubbo Ockels from the Netherlands) who entered the program in my group, marking the start of collaboration with the European Space Agency, which had just been established. My first space flight was in January 1986. During my 25 years at NASA, I participated as an astronaut on seven missions, sharing the world record for space flights with my colleague Jerry Ross.

  • Michael Foale
    NASA-5 Michael Foale | Collision and Recovery | Foale Bio | Needed on Mir | Meanwhile | Collision and Recovery Mike Foale went to Mir full of enthusiasm in spite of the fire and other problems during the NASA-4 increment. He expected hard work, some discomfort, and many challenges; and he hoped to integrate himself fully into the Mir-23 crew. The challenges became enormous when a Progress resupply vehicle accidentally rammed the space station, breaching the Back to Spektr module and causing a dangerous depressurization. The NASA-5 Mir-23 crew worked quickly to save the station; and in the TOC troubled months that followed, Foale set an example of how to face the more dangerous possibilities of spaceflight. Meanwhile on the ground, NASA’s Mir operations were changing, too. In part because of the problems, Foale’s NASA-5 increment catalyzed a broader and deeper partnership with the Russian Space Agency. Mike Foale’s diverse cultural, educational, and family background helped him adapt to his life onboard Mir. Born in England in 1957 to a Royal Air Force pilot father and an American mother, his early childhood included living overseas on Royal Air Force bases. An English boarding school education taught him how to get along with strangers; and, as a youth, he wrote his own plan for the future of spaceflight. At Cambridge University, Foale earned a Bachelor of Arts in physics and a doctorate in astrophysics. But, in the midst of this progress, disaster struck. Foale was driving through Yugoslavia with his fiance and brother when an auto accident took their lives but spared his own.
