Spring 2018 Undergraduate Law Journal
SPRING 2018 UNDERGRADUATE LAW JOURNAL The Final Frontier: Evolution of Space Law in a Global Society By: Garett Faulkender and Stephan Schneider Introduction “Space: the final frontier!” These are the famous introductory words spoken by William Shatner on every episode of Star Trek. This science-fiction TV show has gained a cult-following with its premise as a futuristic Space odyssey. Originally released in 1966, many saw the portrayed future filled with Space-travel, inter-planetary commerce and politics, and futuristic technology as merely a dream. However, today we are starting to explore this frontier. “We are entering an exciting era in [S]pace where we expect more advances in the next few decades than throughout human history.”1 Bank of America/Merrill Lynch has predicted that the Space industry will grow to over $2.7 trillion over the next three decades. Its report said, “a new raft of drivers is pushing the ‘Space Age 2.0’”.2 Indeed, this market has seen start-up investments in the range of $16 billion,3 helping fund impressive new companies like Virgin Galactic and SpaceX. There is certainly a market as Virgin Galactic says more than 600 customers have registered for a $250,000 suborbital trip, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Ashton Kutcher, and physicist Stephen Hawking.4 Although Space-tourism is the exciting face of a future in Space, the Space industry has far more to offer. According to the Satellite Industries 1 Michael Sheetz, The Space Industry Will Be Worth Nearly $3 Trillion in 30 Years, Bank of America Predicts, CNBC, (last updated Oct. -

Stable Orbits of Rigid, Rotating, Precessing, Massive Rings
Stable Orbits of Rigid, Rotating, Precessing, Massive Rings Edward D. Rippert Whitehawk Systems, 3 Whitehawk Circle, Boise, ID, 83716, USA. [email protected] The dynamics of a rigid, rotating, precessing, massive ring orbiting a point mass within the perimeter of the ring are considered. It is demonstrated that orbits dynamically stable against perturbations in three dimensions exist for a range of rigid body rotation parameters of the ring. Previous analysis and some well-known works of fiction have considered the stability of both rigid and flexible, non-precessing ring systems and found that they are unstable in the plane of the ring unless an active stabilization system is employed. There does not appear to be any analyses previously published considering rigid body precession of such a system or that demonstrate passive stability in three dimensions. Deviations from perfect rigidity and possible applications of such a system are discussed. Keywords: Orbital Ring, Ring World, Stability, Precession, Magic Angle I. Introduction Solid rings rotating about a central mass have been considered for various applications ranging from a ring of geosynchronous satellites around the Earth [1] (Polyakov-Ring) to fictional accounts of a gigantic artificial habitat around a star rotating to provide artificial gravity [2] (Niven-Ring). A Polyakov-Ring rotates at or slightly above the orbital speed at its distance from the central mass. As such it lacks significant tension on the ring and is a flexible structure. It has been shown that such a structure is unstable against perturbations in the plane of the ring but can be stabilized by a feedback control system controlling the local length of ring segments [3]. -

Space News Update – May 2019
Space News Update – May 2019 By Pat Williams IN THIS EDITION: • India aims to be 1st country to land rover on Moon's south pole. • Jeff Bezos says Blue Origin will land humans on moon by 2024. • China's Chang'e-4 probe resumes work for sixth lunar day. • NASA awards Artemis contract for lunar gateway power. • From airport to spaceport as UK targets horizontal spaceflight. • Russian space sector plagued by astronomical corruption. • Links to other space and astronomy news published in May 2019. Disclaimer - I claim no authorship for the printed material; except where noted (PW). INDIA AIMS TO BE 1ST COUNTRY TO LAND ROVER ON MOON'S SOUTH POLE India will become the first country to land a rover on the Moon's the south pole if the country's space agency "Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)" successfully achieves the feat during the country's second Moon mission "Chandrayaan-2" later this year. "This is a place where nobody has gone. All the ISRO missions till now to the Moon have landed near the Moon's equator. Chandrayaan-2, India’s second lunar mission, has three modules namely Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) & Rover (Pragyan). The Orbiter and Lander modules will be interfaced mechanically and stacked together as an integrated module and accommodated inside the GSLV MK-III launch vehicle. The Rover is housed inside the Lander. After launch into earth bound orbit by GSLV MK-III, the integrated module will reach Moon orbit using Orbiter propulsion module. Subsequently, Lander will separate from the Orbiter and soft land at the predetermined site close to lunar South Pole. -

As originally intended, this handbook is designed to serve as a reference manual for policy makers, program managers, educators, engineers, and scientists alike. It contains information for the uninitiated, providing insight into the fundamental behavior of tethers in space. For those familiar with space tethers, it summarizes past and ongoing studies and programs, a complete bibliography of tether publications, and names, addresses, and phone numbers of workers in the field. Perhaps its most valuable asset is the brief description of nearly 50 tether applications which have been proposed and analyzed over the past 10 years. -
