State of Space 2020 Remarks by Tom Zelibor, CEO Space Foundation February 11, 2020 National Press Club, Washington, DC
State of Space 2020 Remarks by Tom Zelibor, CEO Space Foundation February 11, 2020 National Press Club, Washington, DC [As prepared for delivery] There has never been a better time to be in the space community. Even though we just celebrated the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 last summer, the next 50 years will be even more exciting and transformational for all of us. The same excitement I felt as a 15-year-old sitting on my parents living room floor watching Neil and Buzz making history is back again. So, we should ask ourselves, what will be different this time? • This is not just a US government endeavor...it will encompass all aspects of our space ecosystem. • It will not be a group of scientists and engineers that look like me...it will be a diverse, multi-racial, all gender, multi-generational team all dedicated to a common mission. • It will not be the East vs. West space race between two superpowers...it will be a worldwide endeavor that brings the best and the brightest talent of all nations to make the next great human adventure to space even better than the last. • Finally, it will have a heavy component of public-private partnerships to leverage the best we all have to offer. So, what were some of the exciting events that took place in 2019? 1. Creation of Space Force (December) 2. Vice President Pence announced the goal of NASA returning to the Moon by 2024; Project Artemis was announced and kicked off. (March) 1 3. Virgin Galactic IPO is offered (October) – creating market value of over $2 billion 4. -

However, three areas have not had much scrutiny: the examination of the contributions of the individuals who have developed successhl spinoffs; the commercial success of the spinoffs themselves; and the degree to which they are understood by the public. In short, there has been limited evaluation to measure the success of technology transfer efforts mandated by Congress. Research conducted during the first year of a three-year NASA grant to the United States Space Foundation has taken the initial steps toward measuring the success of methodologies to accomplish that Congressionally-mandated technology transfer. In particular, the US Space Foundation, in cooperation with ARAC, technology transfer experts; JKA, a nationally recognized themed entertainment design company; and top evaluation consultants, has inaugurated and evaluated a fresh approach including commercial practices to encourage, motivate, and energize technology transfer by .. -

AFA-Mitchell Institute Space Foundation Breakfast
AMERICA’S SPACE PROGRAM & AMERICA’S ECONOMY Remarks by NASA ADMINISTRATOR CHARLES BOLDEN to the AFA-MITCHELL INSTITUTE & THE SPACE FOUNDATION Washington, D.C. May 23, 2016 AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY Good morning … I have to say I feel right at home here with all of you. As someone who has dedicated my adult life to the United States Marine Corps first and foremost and secondly to NASA, it is great to be at a gathering that’s sponsored by organizations that focus on the Armed Forces and National Security as well as space. I know it’s not every day you’ll hear a proud Marine complement the Air Force Association, so I hope you’ll appreciate the significance of my saying how much I admire the work that the AFA and the Mitchell Institute do day-in and day-out. I also want to say a kind word about the Space Foundation, our other sponsor this morning. One of the things that has long held true about space exploration, is that reaching destinations like Mars and Pluto requires more than science and technology – it requires capturing hearts, minds and imaginations … whether we’re talking about the public’s support for investments in NASA, or the actions of a public school teacher who encourages a young girl or boy to pursue studies in science, technology, engineering and math. The Space Foundation plays a very, very important role in engaging the public in space. If you’re going to build anything that’s strong enough to last, you need a strong, stable foundation. -
When Artemis Talks, Johannes Kepler Listens 27 January 2011
When Artemis talks, Johannes Kepler listens 27 January 2011 be shared between Artemis and NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). The first ATV mission was also supported by Artemis, in 2008. Working in parallel with TDRSS, Artemis was used as the main relay while ATV was attached to the Station and provided back up for commands and telemetry during rendezvous, docking, undocking and reentry. Artemis will provide communications between Johannes Kepler and the ATV Control Centre (ATV-CC) in Toulouse, France. Hovering some 36 000 km above the equator at 21.4ºE, Artemis will route telemetry and commands to and from the control centre whenever the satellite sees the International Space Station or ATV. During every ATV-2 orbit, there is close to 40 minutes of continuous contact. Credit: ESA Credits: ESA/J.Huart After Ariane 5 lofts ATV Johannes Kepler into Artemis will again provide dedicated support to ATV space on 15 February, ESA's Artemis data relay throughout the free-flying phase of its mission up to satellite will be ready for action. the docking with the Station. TDRSS is the backup to Artemis during the attached phase, while Artemis Artemis will provide communications between will back up TDRSS during the other phases and in Johannes Kepler and the ATV Control Centre (ATV- emergency situations. CC) in Toulouse, France. Hovering some 36 000 km above the equator at 21.4ºE, Artemis will route Such was the case on 11 September 2008, when telemetry and commands to and from the control the Artemis Mission Control Centre provided centre whenever the satellite sees the International emergency support to ATV-1 after Hurricane Ike Space Station or ATV. -

The International Space Station: Decision 2015
The International Space Station: DECISION 2015 Executive Summary The United States should continue its participation in the International Space Station (ISS) program until 2020 or beyond. The nation should support a comprehensive research agenda throughout this time, fully using the unique resources available aboard this orbiting national laboratory. 1. Continued use of the ISS will help the United States maintain its international leadership position in space activities. 2. The United States will demonstrate that it is a reliable collaborator for future international projects by continuing to work with its international partners to capitalize upon the unique, paid-for capabilities of this research platform. 3. The United States can continue to drive innovation by supporting a full research agenda on the ISS with participation from government agencies as well as academic and commercial enterprises. 4. The ISS provides unique facilities and opportunities to carry out research that will better prepare the United States for future long-term space exploration. 5. Education initiatives associated with the ISS, which have already reached more than 31 million students in the United States, will continue to inspire students and enhance U.S. competitiveness by providing hands-on opportunities to learn about math and science. 6. Utilization of the ISS can help the United States nurture its high-tech workforce, with thousands of people across 37 states currently associated with the ISS program, also contributing to global competitiveness. 7. NASA can continue to encourage commercial space development by providing opportunities for commercial operators to undertake ISS resupply missions and other tasks and operations. 8. ISS completion is scheduled for 2010, after which the cost of continuing operations will be relatively low, while the potential benefits to be gained from onboard research and development will be higher than at any previous time. -

Covering the Increased Liability of New Launch Markets
32nd Space Symposium, Technical Track, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States of America Presented on April 11-12, 2016 COVERING THE INCREASED LIABILITY OF NEW LAUNCH MARKETS Robert Williams, [email protected] Kevin Walsh, [email protected] ABSTRACT The next generation space race prize is the integration of space dependent technology reliably in modern society. This paper is offered as an examination of an expanding diverse space launch industry as well as the necessity for increased capacity of resources in the underwriting space. Consumers are already space application dependent. There are 1 billion GPS receivers already deployed and expected to grow to 7 billion by 2022. As an example, satellites transformed 800 analogue channels in 1991 to more than 25,000 digital channels today. Without GPS, money isn’t accessible from an ATM. Space plays a greater role in day-to-day life and liability coverage will become more important. If a satellite fails for example, businesses relying on satellite services to function may want to claim for lost income or expenses incurred. Growth of space business has been characterized by a shift away from military and the public over to the private sector. Space activity was largely funded through government bodies such as NASA, the European Space Agency or the Japanese Space Agency. With recent estimates by the Satellite Industry Association placing cumulative satellite industry revenues at over $195.2 billion, a number of private companies are successfully entering the space industry and space application world. Governments and space agencies, which were ordering and building space hardware themselves, are now shifting towards buying services from private companies. -
SPACESET 14Th Annual Space Settlement Design Competition for High School Students
The Space Educator Available in print and PDF downloadable format at http://www.nss.org The Space Educator responds to the many requests for information the National Space Society receives from K-12 educators, university students, and the general public. Programs and web sites change frequently as space exploration goals are achieved, educational technology advances and budgets expand or contract. Therefore, recipients should be advised that if they discover a listing is no longer viable or a better one exists, they should contact NSS so that future updates can be maintained. The organization of this publication is based on the educational framework developed at NASA Headquarters. Due to the large number of space education activities and products, we have not tried to evaluate or describe them individually. First the National Space Society is described and its role as a portal to space information. Next are the sources of curriculum support for space science, the human exploration of space, space transportation technology, and space policy. Following naturally from this is a list of web sites which link the user to federal resources, space businesses, and organizations which provide other types of media, data/project opportunities, contests, and scholarships. Museums and Visitor Centers where space is the primary focus of the exhibits and a general calendar of space-related events including annual conferences and tours are listed. Finally, as a quick reference guide, we have presented the most frequently asked questions which we receive
