For more details, see the information below. Photo credit: Image courtesy of ULA. ULA On Feb 22nd, ULA posted the following blog announcement. “At ULA's Vertical Integration Facility (VIF) on Monday, Feb. 15, the Vulcan Centaur program achieved a significant milestone when the Pathfinder Tanking Test (PTT) booster was hoisted into place aboard the Vulcan Launch Platform (VLP). PTT is a flight configuration core stage that will complete validations of the launch site and later be used on a Vulcan Centaur launch into space.” Earlier in the month, a pathfinder first stage that will pave the way for Vulcan Centaur's inaugural launch arrived at Cape Canaveral from ULA's factory in Decatur, Alabama, to begin launch site testing of the next-generation rocket. The Pathfinding Tanking Test (PTT) booster, a flight configuration Vulcan Centaur core fitted with a pair of BE-4 development engines, was produced using the advanced automation and tooling in Decatur that is designed for maximum efficiency and reliability. INMARSAT On Feb 24th, Inmarsat announced the appointment of Rajeev Suri as CEO replacing Rupert Pearce. -

Data Politics;Worlds, Subjects, Rights;
DATA POLITICS Data has become a social and political issue because of its capacity to reconfigure relationships between states, subjects, and citizens. This book explores how data has acquired such an important capacity and examines how critical interventions in its uses in both theory and practice are possible. Data and politics are now inseparable: data is not only shaping our social relations, preferences, and life chances but our very democracies. Expert inter- national contributors consider political questions about data and the ways it provokes subjects to govern themselves by making rights claims. Concerned with the things (infrastructures of servers, devices, and cables) and language (code, programming, and algorithms) that make up cyberspace, this book demonstrates that without understanding these conditions of possibility it is impossible to intervene in or to shape data politics. Aimed at academics and postgraduate students interested in political aspects of data, this volume will also be of interest to experts in the fields of internet studies, international studies, Big Data, digital social sciences, and humanities. Didier Bigo is Professor of War Studies at King’s College London and Research Professor at Sciences-Po, CERI Paris. Engin Isin is Professor in International Politics at Queen Mary University of London, UK and University of London Institute in Paris (ULIP). Evelyn Ruppert is Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London. Routledge Studies in International Political Sociology Series Editors: Tugba Basaran, University of Kent, UK, Didier Bigo, King’s College London, UK, Emmanuel-Pierre Guittet, University of Manchester, UK, Jef Huysmans, Queen Mary, University of London, UK Routledge Studies in International Political Sociology aims to provide a forum for out- standing empirical and theoretical research engaging with the interplays between the international, the political and the social. -

CWDP) Round 2 Summary
NOAA/NESDIS Commercial Weather Data Pilot (CWDP) Round 2 Summary June 2020 Commercial Weather Data Pilot: Round 2 Summary June 2020 Background Radio Occultation (RO) is an established method for remote sounding of the atmosphere. The technique uses an instrument in low-Earth orbit to track radio signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) transmitters as they rise or set through the atmosphere. The occulting atmosphere refracts or bends the radio signals, and given the precise positions of both satellites, the bending angle can be deduced from the time delay of the signal. Collecting these measurements for a full occultation through the atmosphere provides a vertical profile of bending angles, from which profiles of physical quantities such as temperature, humidity, and ionospheric electron density can be retrieved. These data primarily feed numerical weather prediction (NWP) models that support weather forecasts, and also support space weather applications. Deployable on small satellites, RO instruments complement microwave and infrared sensors, fill in the sparse geographical and temporal coverage of radiosondes, and provide vertical and temporal resolution complementing other satellite observations. Weather centers currently ingest thousands of RO profiles per day from various government satellite systems. Studies indicate that increasing the quantity of RO data, particularly in orbits and times not served by government systems, would further improve forecasts. Ionospheric observations from RO sensors also enhance space weather situational awareness, revealing variations in the ionosphere that impact GNSS performance and radio communications. Beyond these direct benefits, additional sources of RO data could provide risk mitigation for any unexpected reductions in other data streams. NOAA began assessing the potential of commercial sources of RO data in 2008 as part of contracted studies to assess a variety of commercial capabilities.
