Nasa As an Instrument of U.S. Foreign Policy
CHAPTER 11 Nasa as an Instrument of U.S. Foreign Policy John Krige as space exploration,and NASA’s role in it in particular,had an effect on society, Hand, if so, on what aspects of it? And how do we measure any such impact? These are challenging questions indeed. The stakeholders in the huge American space program are multiple and include scientists; engineers; research, development, and launch facilities; industry; administrators; and many government agencies, not to speak of Congress and the U.S. taxpayer.The impacts of spaceflight vary widely, from adding to the stockpile of knowledge and stimulating innovation and industry, to training, education, and creating jobs and—if we move beyond the civilian sphere— to enhancing national security and intelligence gathering. And then there are the intangible, difficult to quantify cultural effects that range from inspiring a young girl to become an astronaut to building national pride and prestige in what are, after all, spectacular scientific and technological, managerial, and industrial achievements. This paper briefly considers one small, but I think important and often overlooked, corner of this vast panorama: the place of spaceflight in American foreign policy. I do not simply want to insist that naSa’s international programs have had an important impact as instruments of foreign policy.I also want to suggest that today they have a particularly significant political and cultural role to play in projecting a positive image of American power and American democracy abroad. In a world increasingly torn apart by conflicts over values—conflicts which history teaches us can seldom be resolved by force—i believe we overlook the potential of NASA as an instrument for American foreign policy at our peril. -

SPACE EXPLORATION SYMPOSIUM (A3) Space Exploration Overview (1)
68th International Astronautical Congress 2017 Paper ID: 36776 oral SPACE EXPLORATION SYMPOSIUM (A3) Space Exploration Overview (1) Author: Dr. Ed Kruzins Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Centre, Australia, [email protected] DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION AND AUSTRALIA'S ROLE THROUGH THE CANBERRA DEEP SPACE COMMUNICATION COMPLEX Abstract For over 5 decades, the Canberra Space Communications Complex (CDSCC) managed by the Com- monwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has been the leading Australian ground station facility for the US Deep Space Network (DSN). In collaboration with NASA JPL and sister stations in Spain and the USA, CDSCC tracks more than 40 International spacecraft to every planet in the solar system through the robotic science exploration missions of NASA, ESA, JAXA and other international space agencies. From the first Pioneer and Voyager missions to visit the outer planets and fly through the then unchartered Asteroid Belt to the Dawn missions exploration of Vesta and Ceres, to the Spirit, Opportunity and 2012 Curiosity rover landing on the Martian planet, CDSCC has provided a critical node to planetary scientists as they explore deep space. Among the hundreds of successful missions supported, CDSCC was global prime for the Galileo mission as the European Space Agency's Huygens probe descended towards the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. In 2010 CDSCC provided support to the JAXA Hyabusa mission as it re-entered over Australia and in 2015 was a key downlink station for the New Horizons Pluto Charon flyby providing the first ever detailed images of Pluto. This paper will discuss the key role that this NASA-JPL-CSIRO Australian ground station continues to play in robotic solar system exploration, the important science diplomacy achieved and the future place Australia has through CDSCC and the DSN, in manned space flight. -
