This is an essential skill today, because the Space sector is dynamic and growing and Space projects involve many stakeholders including government agencies, research organizations, industry, academia, and the financial com- munity worldwide. I am proud of being part of the ISU community and hope that you will also decide to become an active member if you are not one already. In the meantime, I wish you a very rich learning experience.

  • A MEXICAN CONQUEST of SPACE Cosmopolitanism, Cosmopolitics, and Cosmopoetics in the Mexican Space Industry

In this paper, I propose a Mexican astronoetics: a way of recog- nizing the extraterrestrial aspirations of many Mexicans, while at the same time critically reflecting on the notions of exploration and conquest that inform these aspirations, as well as the earthly limits that complicate the possibility of their achievement. Before I look at the inter- and transnational relationships required to participate in outer space activities, I find it useful to think through some spatio-political concepts that are being debated in the era of the Blue Dot: globalization, cosmopolitanism/cosmopolitics, and the planetary, all of which demand that attention be paid to the ways in which humans (and non-humans) interact across Earth, and the ways in which these interactions are facilitated, negotiated, monitored, channeled and/or obstructed. “Globalization” refers to the processes that produce networks, particularly of capital, that connect people, places and things all over the planet.

  • Euclid Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Instrument Ready to Draw a 3-D Map of Galaxies of the Distant Universe
    NISP Press Release Euclid space telescope’s Near-Infrared instrument ready to draw a 3-D map of galaxies of the distant Universe ESA’s Euclid mission to study more than a billion galaxies is a step closer to launch as its two instruments are now built and fully tested, including the complex near Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) instrument delivered by an international consortium coordinated by France, with partners from Italy, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Norway and the United States. Once Euclid is launched from French Guiana in 2022, the NISP instrument will feed the world largest near infrared wide field camera put into space and will deliver near-infrared photometry, spectra and redshifts of tens of million distant galaxies providing a detailed description of the 3-dimensional structure of the universe, and its evolution as function of look back time. Euclid has a 1.2-metre mirror telescope that is designed to work at both visible and near- infrared wavelengths. It will collect light from distant cosmic objects and feed it into NISP and the second instrument, the VISible instrument (VIS), both working in parallel and observing the exact same regions of the sky at each exposure of the telescope. Euclid will survey the 3-D distribution of galaxies and dark matter and map the geometry of the Universe with the aim of making accurate measurements of the mysterious Dark Matter and Dark Energy, which make up most of the cosmos. No-one yet knows what Dark Energy is, and Euclid will be the yet most powerful tool for cosmologists and astronomers looking to find out.

  • Asia Explained
    ASIA EXPLAINED TO ANALYZE, TO DEBATE, TO UNDERSTAND AE MicroMacro – Japan Piotr A. Glogowski September 9, 2019 JAXA’s European expedition What happened? On Jun 14 th 2019 Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and The European Space Agency (ESA) signed a cooperation agreement on the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM). This is the first contract signed between JAXA and a n European partner since 2015 , and it’s one out of total three signed in June 2019. T he second one was signed with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the last (but not least) with the French organization Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES). European Union hasn’t been an outer space for JAXA so far, but with those agreements the Japanese have recently significantly extended their presence on the European soil. Who is who? JAXA was established in 2003 and has an operational budget of 1.4bln USD . It is one of the most influential space organizations in Asia, competing with Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and China National Space Administration (CNSA) with budget s respectively 1.4 bln USD and 2.0 bln USD (data for 2017). Two previously mentioned European space agencies DLR and CNES are associated with ESA (through partnerships concluded by their mother countries). ESA manages the second world’s biggest space budget of 6.1bln USD (the richest NASA had 19 bln USD in 2017) and has 22 member states. Poland became an ESA member in 2012 and contributes 30 mln EUR annually. Why it matters? Poland is the third youngest member of ESA, and has little experience in the institutionalized space sector.

This programme of work sought to understand what form of curatorial model and interpretative framework could generate new artworks and co-produce interdisciplinary knowledge across areas of specialist research and geopolitical urgency. The projects take the form of exhibitions, texts and edited books, which are presented as the portfolio of work.
