  • BAS Science Summaries 2018-2019 Antarctic Field Season
    BAS Science Summaries 2018-2019 Antarctic field season BAS Science Summaries 2018-2019 Antarctic field season Introduction This booklet contains the project summaries of field, station and ship-based science that the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is supporting during the forthcoming 2018/19 Antarctic field season. I think it demonstrates once again the breadth and scale of the science that BAS undertakes and supports. For more detailed information about individual projects please contact the Principal Investigators. There is no doubt that 2018/19 is another challenging field season, and it’s one in which the key focus is on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and how this has changed in the past, and may change in the future. Three projects, all logistically big in their scale, are BEAMISH, Thwaites and WACSWAIN. They will advance our understanding of the fragility and complexity of the WAIS and how the ice sheets are responding to environmental change, and contributing to global sea-level rise. Please note that only the PIs and field personnel have been listed in this document. PIs appear in capitals and in brackets if they are not present on site, and Field Guides are indicated with an asterisk. Non-BAS personnel are shown in blue. A full list of non-BAS personnel and their affiliated organisations is shown in the Appendix. My thanks to the authors for their contributions, to MAGIC for the field sites map, and to Elaine Fitzcharles and Ali Massey for collating all the material together. Thanks also to members of the Communications Team for the editing and production of this handy summary.

  • Dispelling the Myth of Robotic Efficiency: Why Human Space
    CRAWFORD: HUMAN SPACE EXPLORATION CRAWFORD: HUMAN SPACE EXPLORATION Dispelling the myth of robotic efficiency Ian Crawford explains why human space exploration will tell us more about the solar system than robotic exploration alone. here is a widely held view in the astro- nomical community that unmanned Trobotic space vehicles are, and always will be, more efficient explorers of planetary surfaces than astronauts (e.g. Coates 2001, Cle- ments 2009, Rees 2011). Partly this comes from a common assumption that robotic exploration is cheaper than human exploration (although this isn’t necessarily true if like is compared with like) and partly from the expectation that devel- 1: The increasing size of Mars rovers, from Pathfinder (front left), a Mars Exploration Rover (left), opments in technology will relentlessly increase to Mars Science Laboratory (right). This increase in size (and cost), contrary to predictions that the capability and reduce the size and cost of improved technology will result in smaller and cheaper robots, is mandated by the nature of the robotic missions to the point that human explo- martian surface and complexity of exploration objectives.

  • The Scientific Legacy of Apollo
    The Scientific Legacy of Apollo Ian A. Crawford, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Birkbeck College, University of London ([email protected]). Article published in the December 2012 issue of the Royal Astronomical Society’s journal Astronomy and Geophysics (Vol. 53, pp. 6.24-6.28). Abstract On the 40th anniversary of the last human expedition to the Moon, I review the scientific legacy of the Apollo programme and argue that science would benefit from a human return to the Moon. Introduction This December marks 40 years since the last human beings to set foot on the Moon, Gene Cernan and Harrison “Jack” Schmitt of Apollo 17, left the lunar surface and returned safely to Earth. This anniversary alone would have justified a retrospective look at the legacy of the Apollo project, but it has been given additional poignancy by the death earlier this year of Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the lunar surface with Apollo 11 in July 1969. The history of the Apollo project, and its geopolitical motivation within the context of the Cold War, is of course well documented (e.g. Chaiken 1994; Burrows 1998; Orloff and Harland 2006) and need not be repeated here. However, although the scientific legacy of Apollo has also been well-documented (e.g. Heiken et al. 1991; Wilhelms 1993; Beattie 2001), and is generally well-known within the lunar science community, I have found that it is still underappreciated by many astronomers, and even some planetary scientists who are not directly involved in lunar studies.
