ATLAS II | At-Large Summit London 2014
EN AL-ATLAS-02-DCL-01-01-EN ORIGINAL: English DATE: 26 June 2014 STATUS: Final The 2nd At-Large Summit (ATLAS II) FINAL DECLARATION Introductory Text By the Staff of ICANN Representatives of approximately one hundred and fifty (150) At-Large Structures (“ALSes”) from five Regional At-Large Organizations (“RALOs”) representing ICANN's global At-Large Community met at the 2nd At-Large Summit (ATLAS II) as part of the 50th ICANN meeting in London, United Kingdom between 21-26 June 2014. Amongst the various activities of the Summit were five Thematic Groups on issues of concern to the At-Large Community. The subjects for the Thematic Groups were selected by the representatives of ALSes. Each Summit participant was allocated to the Thematic Group according to his/her preference. The five Thematic Groups were: Thematic Group 1 (TG1): Future of Multi-Stakeholder Models Thematic Group 2 (TG2): The Globalization of ICANN Thematic Group 3 (TG3): Global Internet: The User Perspective Thematic Group 4 (TG4): ICANN Transparency and Accountability Thematic Group 5 (TG5): At-Large Community Engagement in ICANN All Thematic Groups commenced their work on Saturday 21 June 2014, the opening day of the Summit, and then each met in four individual breakout sessions during the Summit to finalize their statements. The text that follows, including the appendix which is an integral part of the Final Declaration, was endorsed by approximately 150 ALSes on the morning of Thursday, 26 June 2014 and then endorsed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) by acclamation on the same day. The Final Declaration is to be presented to the Board of ICANN at its public session in London, United Kingdom on Thursday, 26 June 2014.

Atlas Launch System Mission Planner's Guide, Atlas V Addendum
ATLAS Atlas Launch System Mission Planner’s Guide, Atlas V Addendum FOREWORD This Atlas V Addendum supplements the current version of the Atlas Launch System Mission Plan- ner’s Guide (AMPG) and presents the initial vehicle capabilities for the newly available Atlas V launch system. Atlas V’s multiple vehicle configurations and performance levels can provide the optimum match for a range of customer requirements at the lowest cost. The performance data are presented in sufficient detail for preliminary assessment of the Atlas V vehicle family for your missions. This guide, in combination with the AMPG, includes essential technical and programmatic data for preliminary mission planning and spacecraft design. Interface data are in sufficient detail to assess a first-order compatibility. This guide contains current information on Lockheed Martin’s plans for Atlas V launch services. It is subject to change as Atlas V development progresses, and will be revised peri- odically. Potential users of Atlas V launch service are encouraged to contact the offices listed below to obtain the latest technical and program status information for the Atlas V development.

Atlas V Cutaway Poster
ATLAS V Since 2002, Atlas V rockets have delivered vital national security, science and exploration, and commercial missions for customers across the globe including the U.S. Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Oice and NASA. 225 ft The spacecraft is encapsulated in either a 5-m (17.8-ft) or a 4-m (13.8-ft) diameter payload fairing (PLF). The 4-m-diameter PLF is a bisector (two-piece shell) fairing consisting of aluminum skin/stringer construction with vertical split-line longerons. The Atlas V 400 series oers three payload fairing options: the large (LPF, shown at left), the extended (EPF) and the extra extended (XPF). The 5-m PLF is a sandwich composite structure made with a vented aluminum-honeycomb core and graphite-epoxy face sheets. The bisector (two-piece shell) PLF encapsulates both the Centaur upper stage and the spacecraft, which separates using a debris-free pyrotechnic actuating 200 ft system. Payload clearance and vehicle structural stability are enhanced by the all-aluminum forward load reactor (FLR), which centers the PLF around the Centaur upper stage and shares payload shear loading. The Atlas V 500 series oers 1 three payload fairing options: the short (shown at left), medium 18 and long. 1 1 The Centaur upper stage is 3.1 m (10 ft) in diameter and 12.7 m (41.6 ft) long. Its propellant tanks are constructed of pressure-stabilized, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Centaur is a liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen-fueled vehicle. It uses a single RL10 engine producing 99.2 kN (22,300 lbf) of thrust.

The Evolving Launch Vehicle Market Supply and the Effect on Future NASA Missions
Presented at the 2007 ISPA/SCEA Joint Annual International Conference and Workshop - www.iceaaonline.com The Evolving Launch Vehicle Market Supply and the Effect on Future NASA Missions Presented at the 2007 ISPA/SCEA Joint International Conference & Workshop June 12-15, New Orleans, LA Bob Bitten, Debra Emmons, Claude Freaner 1 Presented at the 2007 ISPA/SCEA Joint Annual International Conference and Workshop - www.iceaaonline.com Abstract • The upcoming retirement of the Delta II family of launch vehicles leaves a performance gap between small expendable launch vehicles, such as the Pegasus and Taurus, and large vehicles, such as the Delta IV and Atlas V families • This performance gap may lead to a variety of progressions including – large satellites that utilize the full capability of the larger launch vehicles, – medium size satellites that would require dual manifesting on the larger vehicles or – smaller satellites missions that would require a large number of smaller launch vehicles • This paper offers some comparative costs of co-manifesting single- instrument missions on a Delta IV/Atlas V, versus placing several instruments on a larger bus and using a Delta IV/Atlas V, as well as considering smaller, single instrument missions launched on a Minotaur or Taurus • This paper presents the results of a parametric study investigating the cost- effectiveness of different alternatives and their effect on future NASA missions that fall into the Small Explorer (SMEX), Medium Explorer (MIDEX), Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP), Discovery,

Summary “Once a landscape has been established, its origins are repressed from memory. It takes on the appearance of an ‘object’ which has been there, outside us, from the start.” Karatani Kojin (1993), Origins of Japanese Literature The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta is the hub of California’s water supply system and the home of numerous native fish species, five of which already are listed as threatened or endangered. The recent rapid decline of populations of many of these fish species has been followed by court rulings restricting water exports from the Delta, focusing public and political attention on one of California’s most important and iconic water controversies.

Historian's Corner
Historian’s Corner Ray Ziehm (POC) ([email protected] ) We are making some minor changes to the Historian’s writings for each addition of the STAR. Ray Ziehm has volunteered to take the lead in coordinating our quarterly write ups. He will be the only one listed under the officers for Historians. The individual contributors are well appreciated and are needed every year. We have in the past missed some Historian write ups, so having a lead coordinator should eliminate that. The individual writers will continue to be identified with their writings. Those of you that would like to write an article in the STAR for an item of historical interest should contact Ray at 303-784- 1413. Thanks, Bob Snodgress Ed Bock ([email protected] ) Atlas/Centaur Sale and Transition to Martin Marietta This Atlas Program history was originally presented at the Centaur 50th Anniversary celebration in San Diego by Ed Bock. It has been expanded with input from Tony Christensen to include the Centaur for Titan Program Transition. To appreciate this sale and transition, it’s necessary to understand the environment at General Dynamics Space Systems (GDSS) Division in the early 1990’s. The Commercial Atlas Program was inaugurated with the launch of AC-69, the first Atlas I, in July 1990. Atlas II was in development, and its first launch occurred in December 1991. GDSS was in the process of evaluating a Russian rocket engine (the RD-180) for its evolved Atlas. From mid 1990 to late 1993 there were 14 Atlas/Centaur launches, including three Atlas I failures.
