  • Los Robots En La Sociedad Del Futuro Ariel Palazzesi
    Los robots en la sociedad del futuro Ariel Palazzesi Investigadores españoles han realizado un estudio sobre el impacto que tendrán los robots en la sociedad del futuro. Los resultados son inquietantes: según sus descubrimientos para el año 2020 los robots serán tan “inteligentes” y su interacción con los humanos será tan grande que existirá un desequilibrio tecnológico enorme entre quienes posean o no una estas herramientas. Hemos hablado hasta el cansancio sobre el papel que jugarán (o no) los robots en los conflictos bélicos del futuro. Pero, ¿cómo cambiaran la vida de cada uno de nosotros, en nuestro ámbito laboral o social? Afortunadamente, un equipo de investigadores españoles, liderados por Antonio López Peláez, se ha planteado esta cuestión, llegando a conclusiones sorprendentes sobre el impacto social que tendrá la robótica en las próximas décadas. Antonio López Peláez es un profesor de Sociología de la UNED, que ha entrevistado a expertos en robótica de todo el mundo para obtener un pronóstico de cómo cambiarán nuestra vida diaria los robots. Según la opinión de lo investigadores, en el año 2020 se producirá un punto de inflexión tecnológica, gracias al cual los robots “serán capaces de ver, actuar, hablar, dominar el lenguaje natural y ser más inteligentes. Entonces nuestra relación con ellos será más constante y más cercana”, dice López Peláez. Los autómatas dejarán de ser máquinas sofisticadas que llaman nuestra atención en exposiciones o series de TV para convertirse en herramientas cotidianas que nos ayudarán en las tareas más comunes. Según el investigador, los robots androides que construiremos a partir de ese año, contarán con funciones y niveles de inteligencia tales que se convertirán en compañeros para la especia humana.

  • Bolden Testimony
    HOLD FOR RELEASE UNTIL PRESENTED BY WITNESS November 17, 2011 Statement of The Honorable Charles F. Bolden, Jr. Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration before the Subcommittee on Science and Space Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation U. S. Senate Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the outlook for NASA’s human space flight program. This has been a remarkable year, as we have completed assembling and outfitting of the U.S. On-orbit Segment (USOS) of the International Space Station (ISS), allowing us to focus on full utilization of the Station’s research capabilities; taken key steps in moving forward into the future of exploration beyond Low-Earth Orbit (LEO); celebrated the 50 th anniversary of human spaceflight; and witnessed the successful conclusion of the historic Space Shuttle Program. We are also pleased with the progress our industry partners have made in developing an American capability to transport cargo and eventually astronauts to the ISS, and end the outsourcing of this work to foreign governments. More importantly, this will add a critical level of redundancy for transporting cargo and crew to the ISS. A robust transportation architecture is important to ensuring full utilization of this amazing research facility. Enabling commercial crew and cargo transportation systems in LEO allows NASA to focus on developing its own systems for sending astronauts on missions of exploration beyond LEO. This split between commercial and Government systems allows for a cost effective approach to promote a broad base for human exploration by the United States.

  • 2. Going to Mars
    aMARTE A MARS ROADMAP FOR TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION Final Report International Space University Space Studies Program 2016 © International Space University. All Rights Reserved. The 2016 Space Studies Program of the International Space University (ISU) was hosted by the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. aMARTE has been selected as the name representing the Mars Team Project. This choice was motivated by the dual meaning the term conveys. aMARTE first stands for A Mars Roadmap for Travel and Exploration, the official label the team has adopted for the project. Alternatively, aMARTE can be interpreted from its Spanish roots "amarte," meaning "to love," or can also be viewed as "a Marte," meaning "going to Mars." This play on words represents the mission and spirit of the team, which is to put together a roadmap including various disciplines for a human mission to Mars and demonstrate a profound commitment to Mars exploration. The aMARTE title logo was developed based on sections of the astrological symbols for Earth and Mars. The blue symbol under the team's name represents Earth, and the orange arrow symbol is reminiscent of the characteristic color of Mars. The arrow also serves as an invitation to go beyond the Earth and explore our neighboring planet.

  • ESPA Ring Datasheet
    PAYLOAD ADAPTERS | ESPA ESPA THE EVOLVED SECONDARY PAYLOAD ADAPTER ESPA mounts to the standard NSSL (formerly EELV) interface bolt pattern (Atlas V, Falcon 9, Delta IV, OmegA, Vulcan, Courtesy of Lockheed Martin New Glenn) and is a drop-in component in the launch stack. Small payloads mount to ESPA ports featuring either a Ø15-inch bolt circle with 24 fasteners or a 4-point mount with pads at each corner of a 15-inch square; both of these interfaces have become small satellite standards. ESPA is qualified to carry 567 lbs (257 kg), and a Heavy interface Courtesy of NASA (with Ø5/16” fastener hardware) has been introduced with a capacity of 991 lbs (450 kg). All small satellite mass capabilities require the center of gravity (CG) to be within 20 inches (50.8 cm) of the ESPA port surface. Alternative configurations can be accommodated. ESPA GRANDE ESPA Grande is a more capable version of ESPA with Ø24-inch ports; the ring height is typically 42 inches. The Ø24-inch port has been qualified by test to Courtesy of ORBCOMM & Sierra Nevada Corp. carry small satellites up to 1543 lb (700 kg). ESPA ESPA IS ADAPTABLE TO UNIQUE MISSION REQUIREMENTS • The Air Force’s STP-1 mission delivered multiple small satellites on an Atlas V. • NASA’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS): ESPA was the spacecraft hub for the LCROSS shepherding satellite in 2009. • ORBCOMM Generation 2 (OG2) launched stacks of two and three ESPA Grandes on two different Falcon 9 missions and in total deployed 17 satellites.

Nield, Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), addressed the future of commercial space travel: “There is tangible work underway by a number of companies aiming for space, partly because of their dreams, but primarily because they are confident it can be done by the private sector and it can be done at a profit.” Indeed, private companies and entrepreneurs are currently aiming to make this dream a reality. While the current economic downturn will likely slow industry progress, space tourism, currently in its infancy, is poised to become a significant part of the hospitality industry. Unlike the space race of the 1950s and 1960s between the United States and the former Soviet Union, the current rivalry is not defined on a national level, but by a collection of first-mover entrepreneurs that are working to define the industry and position it for long- term profitability.
