米軍は民間衛星に軍のペイロードを搭載するやり方を円滑にしたい U.S. Military Wants To Streamline Hosted Payload Process WASHINGTON — The U.S. Defense Department in the coming National Space Policy released in June contains specific months plans to unveil a new website that will serve as the language that encourages the military to pursue more innovative central node for matching government payloads with potential ways to obtain space capabilities, including hosted payload commercial host spacecraft, a Pentagon official said Sept. 24. arrangements. Specifically, it directs the government to “work The concept of hosting government payloads on commercial jointly to acquire space launch services and hosted payload satellite platforms has received much attention in recent years arrangements that are reliable, responsive to United States as a way for governments to acquire capabilities more cheaply government needs, and cost-effective.” The policy is the most while helping industry to maximize returns on spacecraft significant and encouraging change that supporters of hosted investments. While nations such as Australia have been willing to payloads have seen in at least three years, said Joe Rouge, put operational payloads on commercial satellites, the U.S. director of the Pentagon’s National Security Space Office military has so far only been willing to place research and (NSSO). “It’s pretty hard to be much more explicit than that, to development payloads on commercial platforms.

But a launch in 2022 or beyond launches its $5 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), is more likely, he said, given that JWST is undergoing several according to officials. Jon Morse, astrophysics division director programmatic reviews that could reveal additional development at NASA headquarters here, said the Wide-Field Infrared Survey costs and potential schedule delays. Ed Weiler, NASA associate Telescope (WFIRST) proposed in the decadal survey is not likely administrator for science, said the JWST reviews are expected to launch before 2022, some seven years after NASA hopes to to wrap up next month and that a final decision on the program’s loft JWST to the second Lagrange point — a gravitationally stable future should come by November’s end. Weiler declined to spot 1.5 million kilometers from Earth — in 2014. “The pacing of speculate on cost-growth specifics, but said, “It’s going to cost WFIRST’s development time is JWST, plain and simple. We can’t more. That’s about all I can say.” In the meantime, Morse said afford to do them simultaneously,” Morse said during a two-day NASA is proposing to increase a planned investment in Euclid, a public meeting of the NASA Advisory Council’s astrophysics dark energy mapper designed by the European Space Agency subcommittee here Sept. 16-17, adding that the division has (ESA).

During the two-day meeting, Weiler and a dark energy program that would get us to data this decade,” Morse fielded probing questions from NASA Advisory Council Morse said, adding that Euclid’s projected launch near the end members concerned there is too much overlap between the two of this decade could provide the U.S. astronomy community with dark energy missions. Astro2010 chairman Roger Blandford, who access to dark energy data sooner than WFIRST.

Officially, the four astronauts announced Sept. 14 are assigned to STS-335, the rescue mission that would fly only if needed to home the members of the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s STS-134 mission in February, currently the final Gerstenmaier scheduled shuttle flight. But if Congress directs NASA to add a shuttle flight to the manifest, then the STS-335 crew and the “The normal training template for a shuttle crew is about one Space Shuttle Atlantis would launch in June carrying supplies year prior to launch, so we need to begin training now in order to and spare parts to the international space station.

Nothing and tracked a new Chinese satellite on a deliberately was said about the pending rendezvous in space, which happened orchestrated collision course with two older Chinese satellites in mid-August. The hunter-killer anti-satellite (ASAT) not quite 600 kilometers above Earth. China has not issued any implications here are quite evident, and yet there are other statements about its synchronized satellite maneuvers.

Keep in mind that China is still criticized today for maneuvered back into a companion orbit," said Kulacki.

If complete confidence in this aspect of The pace of China's progress is worrying, too.

Two more manned flights - Shenzhou-9 and 10 A year ago, Eric Hagt, director of the China Program at the World - to the module will follow in 2012. China plans to deploy Security Institute in Washington, DC, told Asia Times Online that additional Tiangongs as well over the coming decade. "They have while "there are no known experimental satellites [in China] that to demonstrate rendezvous before the upcoming manned are on-orbit or planned that have fully autonomous command Shenzhou 8 through 10 series to not embarrass themselves and control capabilities.

The role. "Both took, respectively, Russian and British technology as purpose behind the rendezvous remains unknown at this time, a base on which they have built impressive micro-satellite although the technical details provide some insight. Some may development centers," said Fisher. "China can be expected to be try to label the SJ-12 / SJ-06F rendezvous as an ASAT test, considering all the military and civil uses of micro sats that have but the technical profile of the rendezvous, at first glance, does been discussed or pursued in the West." However, Kulacki not support such a conclusion," said Brian Weeden, technical downplays the overall contribution made by foreign satellite advisor for the Colorado-based Secure World Foundation, who entities as China's space program has evolved. "China received a 14

modest amount of early assistance with its small satellite expensive to use, and they weigh much more than kinetic programs from [UK-based Surrey Satellite, Ltd], which had a energy-based ASAT weapons (KE-ASATs). They take a long cooperative project with Qinghua University that produced the time to reach their target and are visible to the owner of that Tsinghua-1 imaging micro satellite,' said Kulacki. "Given the lack target, which can take counter-measures. And it is more difficult of progress with the Tsinghua micro sat program, one can to assure and confirm that a co-orbital ASAT affected the target, assume the cooperation was not that significant. China has other too." KE-ASAT capabilities have now been demonstrated twice micro satellite programs, most notably the cooperative and by the Chinese. Besides the controversial 2007 satellite semi-commercial partnership between the Municipality of shootdown, the January 2010 test used the same interceptor Shanghai and the Shanghai Branch of the Chinese Academy of albeit in the guise of a ballistic missile defense (BMD) interceptor.

A significant and successful space espionage campaign was hit. Since China already has a demonstrated KE ASAT in North America and Europe conducted by the Chinese Ministry capability, the USAF and other officials may not be all that of State Security has certainly contributed to China's efforts. concerned that this experiment has any meaningful security "The most recent SJ-12 satellite rendezvous ultimately serves implications for them," said Kulacki. According to Vick, the military goals, and the Tiangong platform will also serve military Chinese can call these tests whatever they want, but what missions," said Fisher. "Recent photos indicate the first exactly it was and is known to be is quite another thing. "Thus, Tiangong will have two cylindrical cavities between the service the questioning of Chinese Intentions by US Secretary of and crew sections that could carry imaging gear or micro Defense Robert Gates continues to be repeated,' said Vick. satellites for later launching. All but the last two Shenzhou However, there is another very unusual twist to this tale. Seldom orbital modules (OM) were outfitted with imaging or electronic do two nations launch duplicate satellite missions on the same intelligence packages. There is a good chance that the OM for day. And yet, that is exactly China and Sweden did on June 15 Shenzhou 8 will carry a military payload to compliment the when they sent their respective satellites into orbit. The Swedes Tiangong payloads." Although the US Air Force (USAF) is well chose that day to launch their long-awaited "Prisma Project" aware of this Chinese rendezvous activity, there has been no which dates back to early 2005. Prisma entails the use of a pair mention of it by USAF or other US government sources thus far. of satellites called Mango and Tango, which are testing satellite "For years, we have observed Chinese weapons systems formation flying and rendezvous technology in the same fashion development activities which show us what they want us to see, as the Chinese. Both Swedish satellites orbit approximately 725 but it is generally not the policy of this and previous US kilometers above Earth. Mango and Tango were launched administrations to discuss ongoing active intelligence collected together, and they separated on August 11. Shortly thereafter, on China's activities for our own national security reasons," said Prisma's 12-day Autonomous Formation Flying (AFF) experiment Vick. However, in this instance, official US silence may be driven got underway, according to the Prisma web site. "The relative by a desire to improve ties with China at a time when tension distance between the two spacecraft will range from a few has been mounting recently due to the sinking of South Korean kilometers down to 10 meters. In order to prepare for warship, the US-South Korean naval exercises, and the experiments later in the mission timeline, (these AFF) comments made by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about experiments will also allow for a systematic commissioning and the South China Sea. "It may be that the US did not make much performance assessment of the Vision Based Sensor system at of this activity intentionally, in order to avoid deepening the far and medium range distances." Certainly one of the highlights already low state of the relationship, or that they simply did not so far is that as Mango engaged in maneuvers around Tango, see it as anything to be concerned about," said Kulacki. "There Prisma's "Safe Orbit Guidance" mechanism did nothing at all - is good reason to suspect the latter. Co-orbital ASATs are that is, it did not override or abruptly alter Mango's movements - 15

because this embedded guidance system determined that the "Certainly, what Prisma is doing is the model for transparency relative orbit maintained by Mango was safe. There are a lot of and safety when it comes to rendezvous. And I would hope that people that are unaware that Sweden even has a space program. it is the sort of example that others will follow in the future," The Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) built Mango and Tango, said Weeden. After all, the Geneva-based United Nations and serves as Prisma's prime contractor. Mango which weighs organization known as the International Telecommunication 150 kilograms is the highly maneuverable and much larger Union, for example, has no jurisdiction here, and only has "hunter" satellite in this pair. Tango weighs a mere 40 kilograms. jurisdiction over radio and satellite frequencies - not the physical Vital components have been provided by German, French and location or activities of any research satellites. And under the other researchers including a Global Positioning System current rules that pertain to the UN Committee On the Peaceful (GPS)-based navigation system which was developed by the Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), there is no meaningful German Space Center (DLR). The Danish Technical University oversight of a rendezvous in space. [6] which is home to the Danish National Space Center has "So, in the so-called GEO belt, the designated physical slots contributed a so-called "Vision Based Sensor" system which is occupied by communications satellites - and assigned by the ITU mounted on Mango. This will enable Mango to detect Tango from - are actually just a byproduct of the ITU regulations that apply a distance as far away as 100 kilometers. Satellite operators can to radio frequency interference," said Weeden. "And COPUOS is only communicate with Mango which, in turn, communicates with not the sort of body that punishes anyone or otherwise controls Tango. The novel Nitrogen-fueled micropropulsion system aboard what goes in on space. It is a deliberative body where states Mango - this spacecraft is equipped with 3 different propulsion come to discuss issues." However, according to Weeden, the systems - which enables precise maneuverability has attracted Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of COPUOS has an considerable attention. Unfortunately, in late August, the Prisma agenda item dealing with "the long-term sustainability of outer team reported that use of this system had been suspended after space activities" which might be germane to future rendezvous two days due to a gas leakage Because the two Prisma satellites missions. "Just this year, a Working Group was established to were attached at the time of their launch aboard a Ukrainian address this topic. Its primary goal over the next 3 years is to Dnepr rocket which took off from a military base in southern establish a set of voluntary best-practice guidelines for Russia near the border with Kazakhstan, some experts label the operating in space," said Weeden. "This has just started, and as Chinese and Swedish satellite missions as very different in with most things in the UN, their progress will be slow, but best character. This writer disagrees because both involve a practice guidelines for rendezvous could certainly be something rendezvous, and if one of either pair of satellites misfires or that they might look at." Might the SJ-12 rendezvous mission suddenly accelerates and slams into the other, the effects might adds a sense of urgency to these proceedings? Perhaps because, prove highly disruptive in an orbital belt that is already saturated in fact, the Chinese have turned their back on the global space with satellites. Why is the Swedish Prisma mission so important community in this instance. In the meantime, the Prisma mission to this discussion? The Prisma team is highly visible and is almost overlooked entirely because of the ramifications of PR-savvy, and there are frequent updates on its web site about China's surprise rendezvous. Nevertheless, in the midst of this the overall status of the mission. Good and bad news about the uncertainty over what China is doing with SJ-12 and about how performance of the satellites, onboard systems and subsystems this might augment China's ASAT program, Mango and Tango can be accessed easily. In contrast, the Chinese say nothing. [5] soar quietly overhead.

That's the worrisome part. The formation-flying exercise began in mid-August, and stirred up a significant fuss a couple of weeks ago when some observers speculated that the SJ-12 might have given a nudge to the SJ-06F.

中国は YaoGan-11 号を打上げ、ステーションと月の目標に突進 China launches YaoGan Weixing-11, press forward with Station and Lunar goals

China has carried out the ninth orbital launch of the year, by Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center on April 27, 2006. At the time launching their Long March 2D carrying the Weixing-11 remote the details about this satellite were closely guarded, but later it sensing satellite. The launch took place at 02:42UTC on was noted that it was the first Jian Bing-5 satellite, equipped Wednesday, lifting off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. with the first space-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Meanwhile, China has spoken about its near-term space flight The YaoGan Weixing-2 (31490 2007-019A) was launched on 25 goals. May, 2007, by a CZ-2D Chang Zheng-2D (CZ2D-8) from the

Chinese Launch: Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Details were also restricted, though it is claimed that this spacecraft is an electro-optical military observation satellite, complementing the results of the YaoGan Weixing-1. Another SAR mission was launched on November 12, 2007 with the YaoGan Weixing-3 (32289 2007-055A) satellite orbited by a

Once again the Chinese media refer the new satellite as intended CZ-4C Chang Zheng-4C (CZ4C-2) launch vehicle from Taiyuan. for “scientific experiments, land survey, crop yield assessment, Other SAR missions are listed as the YaoGan Weixing-6 (34839 and disaster monitoring.” As was the case with previous 2009-021A), launched by a CZ-2C Chang Zheng-2C-III from launches of the YaoGan Weixing series, Western analysts believe Taiyuan on April 22, 2009, and the YaoGan Weixing-8 (36121 this class of satellites is being used for reconnaissance and 2009-072A), launched on December 15, 2009, by a CZ-4C Chang military purposes. The satellite was developed by the Aerospace Zheng-4C also from Taiyuan.

Shanghai Technical Institute at the China Aerospace Science On December 1, 2008, YaoGan Weixing-4 (33446 2008-061A) – and Technology Corp. the second electro-optical satellite on the series – was launched The previous satellite in the series, YaoGan Weixing-10, was by a CZ-2D Chang Zheng-2D from Jiuquan, and on December 15, launched August 9th from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center 2008, YaoGan Weixing-5 (33456 2008-064A) was launched by a via a CZ-4C Chang Zheng-4C (Long March 4C). The ‘YaoGan CZ-4B Chang Zheng-4B (CZ4B-12) from the Taiyuan Satellite Weixing’ designation appears to be used in a similar fashion to Launch Center. It is now believed that this satellite was the that of the old Soviet ‘Cosmos’ designation, hiding the true fourth electro-optical bird on the series, as well as the YaoGan mission of the vehicles launched into orbit. Wexing-7 (36110 2009-069A) launch on December 9, 2009 from The first YaoGan Weixing satellite (29092 2006-015A) was Jiuquan by a CZ-2D Chang Zheng-2D. launched by a CZ-4C Chang Zheng-4C (CZ4C-1) from the The YaoGan Weixing-9 mission, launched March 5 this year from 19

the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, had an architecture that was different from the previous missions on the series. Launched by a CZ-4C Chang Zheng-4C launch vehicle from Jiuquan, the mission put not one but a triplet of satellites in Earth orbit. Flying in formation, these three satellites form what looks like a type of NOSS system. YaoGan Weixing-11 was launched by a CZ-2D Chang Zheng-2D launch vehicle. This is a two stage launch vehicle developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology. With storable It is now known that China plans to launch its second lunar probe, propellants, is mainly used to launch a variety of low earth orbit Chang’e-2, at the end of September, or on the first days of satellites. October. A tentative launch window was given between The CZ-2D can launch a 3,500kg cargo in a 200 km circular orbit.

The probe will be second stage is based on CZ-4 second stage with an improved launched by a CZ-3C Chang Zheng-3C launch vehicle from the equipment bay. The first launch of the CZ-2D was on August 9th, Xi Chang space center. According to Ouyang Ziyuan, chief 1992 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center orbiting the scientist of China’s Lunar Probe Project, the resolution of the Fanhui Shei Weixing FSW-2-1 (22072 1992-051A) recoverable cameras mounted on the Chang’e-2 Moon probe have a satellite. resolution of 7 meters, and up to 1 meter when the satellite is This launch was the 131st Chinese orbital launch, the 46th closer to the moon. Chang’e-2 will test soft-landings and other orbital launch from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and the technologies in preparation for the launch of the Chang’e-3 – fourth orbital launch from Jiuquan this year. This was the China’s first unmanned landing on the moon slated for 2013. It thirteenth use of a CZ-2D Chang Zheng-2D launch vehicle. will also experience numerous orbital changes and adjustments.

Jiuquan was originally used to launch scientific and recoverable satellites into medium or low earth orbits at high inclinations. It is also the place from where all the Chinese manned missions are launched. Presently, only the LA4 launch complex (with two launch pads – SLS-1 and SLS-2) is in use. The first orbital launch took place on April 24, 1970 when the CZ-1 Chang Zheng-1 (CZ1-1) rocket launched the first Chinese satellite, the Dong Fang Hong-1 (04382 1970-034A).

DL(0927)------サウスウエスト航空 AirTran リージョナル航空会社を買収 Southwest announces $1.4 billion purchase of AirTran Southwest Airlines announced today that it has reached a definitive agreement to buy AirTran Airways in a $1.4 billion deal that will create "significant opportunities" in Atlanta, the largest U.S. market not currently served by Southwest. Thanks to AirTran's routes to Mexico and the Caribbean, the deal also would jump-start Southwest's stalled efforts to expand internationally. "This acquisition creates more jobs and career opportunities for our combined employee groups, as a whole. It allows us to better respond to the economic and competitive challenges of our industry, and fits perfectly within our strategy for our fifth decade of service," Southwest CEO Gary Kelly said in announcing the deal.

Scott told an aviation conference on Sunday that airlines are "struggling just to reach 2% of revenue" in earnings, a situation that is "not sustainable." Bombardier's upcoming CSeries jet, which claims 20% less fuel burn than competing models, is one example of the kind of fleet optimization that "will drive airline profitability through cost savings and revenue growth, and help enable new business models," Scott said. Bloomberg (9/26) 機内 Wi-Fi 装備が広まる Wi-Fi is gaining ground at 35,000 feet In-flight Wi-Fi continues to be a crapshoot on U.S. airlines, even as many passengers express ambivalence about the service. While Delta Air Lines now has Wi-Fi on nearly all the 549 planes in its fleet, Continental Airlines has "zero" service as it awaits its merger with United. Even so, in-flight Internet appears to be growing increasingly common despite generating only about $95 million in revenues for the airlines this year. Research firm In-Stat estimates that 2,000 commercial aircraft will be equipped for Wi-Fi by the end of this year, compared with just 25 planes in 2008. The Denver Post (9/26) ペンタゴンの新調達ルールの問題点 Pentagon rules for services could raise some procurement costs Although the Pentagon's new procurement rules are designed to lower costs, some experts warn procurement costs could increase. "It's ambitious, and I think the department will find implementation to be difficult," said Rob Burton, a procurement attorney with the law firm Venable LLP. The rules launched on Sept. 14 require service contracts every three years in most cases, instead of every five years. Federal Times (9/27) ペンタゴンの変更に応じて防衛関連企業の売り買い調整が進む Defense contractors buy, sell businesses to adjust to Pentagon changes Defense contractors in the Washington area are increasingly buying and selling companies as they face a Pentagon defense budget that is expected to soon be flattened for the first time since Sept. 11, 2001. BAE Systems, for instance, recently bought L-1 Identity Solutions' intelligence-services business for $295.8 million, as BAE's parent company indicated that it was considering selling the U.S.-based "platform-solutions" business.

"We have very aggressive CO2 reduction goals, and part of that is to have the engine technology that will result in reduced fuel burn over time, so that we can meet our CO2 reduction goals," he said. Both companies have been publicly toying with the idea of building all-new aircraft, but Anderson said Delta is unwilling to wait for such a long-term project.

SURF members plan an ocean-based facility "designed to use the expanse of the world's near-shore waters to rapidly grow microalgae at a faster rate than any other initiative and capture CO2 from the atmosphere and seas at the same time."
