  • Art on Mars: a Foundation for Exoart
    THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA AUSTRALIA by TREVOR JOHN RODWELL Bachelor of Design (Hons), University of South Australia Graduate Diploma (Business Enterprise), The University of Adelaide ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART May 2011 ABSTRACT ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART It could be claimed that human space exploration started when the former Soviet Union (USSR) launched cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into Earth orbit on 12 April 1961. Since that time there have been numerous human space missions taking American astronauts to the Moon and international crews to orbiting space stations. Several space agencies are now working towards the next major space objective which is to send astronauts to Mars. This will undoubtedly be the most complex and far-reaching human space mission ever undertaken. Because of its large scale and potentially high cost it is inevitable that such a mission will be an international collaborative venture with a profile that will be world- wide. Although science, technology and engineering have made considerable contributions to human space missions and will be very much involved with a human Mars mission, there has been scant regard for artistic and cultural involvement in these missions. Space agencies have, however, realised the influence of public perception on space funding outcomes and for some time have strived to engage the public in these space missions. This has provided an opportunity for an art and cultural involvement, but there is a problem for art engaging with space missions as currently there is no artform specific to understanding and tackling the issues of art beyond our planet.

An Evolving Astrobiology Glossary K. J. Meech1 and W. W. Dolci2 1Institute for Astronomy, 2680 Woodlawn Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822 2NASA Astrobiology Institute, NASA Ames Research Center, MS 247-6, Moffett Field, CA 94035 Abstract. One of the resources that evolved from the Bioastronomy 2007 meeting was an online interdisciplinary glossary of terms that might not be uni- versally familiar to researchers in all sub-disciplines feeding into astrobiology. In order to facilitate comprehension of the presentations during the meeting, a database driven web tool for online glossary definitions was developed and participants were invited to contribute prior to the meeting. The glossary was downloaded and included in the conference registration materials for use at the meeting. The glossary web tool is has now been delivered to the NASA Astro- biology Institute so that it can continue to grow as an evolving resource for the astrobiology community. 1. Introduction Interdisciplinary research does not come about simply by facilitating occasions for scientists of various disciplines to come together at meetings, or work in close proximity. Interdisciplinarity is achieved when the total of the research expe- rience is greater than the sum of its parts, when new research insights evolve because of questions that are driven by new perspectives. Interdisciplinary re- search foci often attack broad, paradigm-changing questions that can only be answered with the combined approaches from a number of disciplines.

  • Quantifying Past Transmissions Using the San Marino Scale
    IAC-07-A4.2.04 QUANTIFYING PAST TRANSMISSIONS USING THE SAN MARINO SCALE Shuch, H. Paul Almár, Iván The SETI League, Inc. Konkoly Observatory 121 Florence Drive Hungarian Academy of Sciences Cogan Station PA 17728 USA Budapest, Hungary [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT To date, at least five experiments which could be classified as Active SETI, or METI (Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) have been conducted from Planet Earth: the well-known Arecibo Message of 1974, two Cosmic Call transmissions from Evpatoria, the Teen-Age Message to the Stars also transmitted from Evpatoria, and the paradigm- altering Invitation to ETI, being quasi-transmitted continuously via the Internet. In addi- tion, planetary defense radar transmissions from Earth, radiated for the purpose of detect- ing potentially hazardous asteroids, can be considered inadvertent METI signals, to the extent that they can be detected over interstellar distances. Planetary radar transmissions from both Goldstone and Arecibo are considered. Each of these various emissions is ana- lyzed in terms of duration, directionality, information content, and transmitter power, and then each is assigned an integer ordinal value on the proposed San Marino scale for quan- tifying transmissions from Earth. A comparative analysis of these quantified transmis- sions underscores the difference in impact of various METI experiments, suggesting the utility of the San Marino Scale as a valuable analytical tool for making informed policy decisions. INTRODUCTION ing the potential impact of such trans- missions from Earth. Here we apply the SETI, the well established science San Marino Scale to several historical involved with Searching for Extra- transmissions, to better assess its utility.

  • The Rio Scale Introduction Go to Rio Scale Calculator
    The Rio Scale Introduction Go To Rio Scale Calculator Nearly everyone is familiar with the Richter Scale for quantifying earthquake severity. Can we similarly quantify the importance of a candidate SETI signal? The Rio Scale is an attempt to do just that. It is an ordinal scale between zero and ten, used to quantify the impact of any public announcement regarding evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. The concept was first proposed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (hence its name) by Iván Almár and Jill Tarter in a paper presented to the 51st International Astronautical Congress, 29th Review Meeting on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, in October, 2000. Under their leadership, members of the IAA SETI Committee (and its successor, the IAA SETI Permanent Committee) officially adopted the Rio Scale in 2002, and have continued working to refine and perfect it, in order to bring some objectivity to the otherwise subjective interpretation of any claimed ETI detection. Interpreting Rio Scale Values Precedent In many ways, a public announcement of a discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence would have societal consequences similar to the announcement of the impending impact of a large asteroid. Published in 1997, the so-called Torino Scale quantifies the significance of such a potential threat. The two-dimensional Torino Scale takes into account both the potential damage from such an asteroid impact, and the probability that it will collide with Earth. The Rio Scale described here borrows heavily on the design of the Torino Scale. It similarly attempts to quantify the relative importance of a rare event, in terms of both its potential societal impact and the credibility of the evidence presented.

  • TVIW 2014 Program Book
    “We are the universe trying to understand itself.” Delenn, from the television series Babylon 5. “The heavens declare the glory of God.” Psalm 19:1 The Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop is about taking humanity to the stars. This is a dream that may not become a reality for another millennium. Why, then, should some of the most visionary and intelligent people in the Tennessee Valley United States World (!!) gather at a hotel in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of interstellar travel? Because we must. We are compelled by our nature to think positively about the future of humanity in a beautiful yet extremely hostile universe. Life on Earth is wonderful and we should do what we can to protect and preserve it here, and yet… …there is more. Among the billions of galaxies, with their billions of stars and billions of planets, we sense a call to explore. A call to disperse ourselves and settle a multitude of worlds in order to preserve and protect what must be very rare indeed: a bipedal species of intelligent tool users who dare to dream, to love, to create and to aspire for more than mere survival. To survive and thrive we must push the boundaries and, well, we must go. And it isn’t too soon to prepare. There are many challenges and some of them will take generations to overcome. Here, in the valley of a great river in the southern region of a great nation, gather visionaries from many great nations to take up the challenge.

Obs., 60, 2006 The SETI Paradox Alexander Zaitsev Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics, Vedensky Square 1, Fryazino, 141120 Russia Abstract: Two opposing tendencies paradoxically coexist in terrestrial consciousness – the insistent quest for intelligent signals from other civilizations and the persistent aversion to any attempts to transmit such signals from Earth toward probable fellow intelligent beings. If typi- cal for our entire Universe, such manifestations of intelligence would make the search for other civilizations totally meaningless. Key words: SETI – interstellar messages – Great Silence 1.
