Ils goal is 10 represenl represenl mOSI of the world's research potential by getting all interested key players in in research and research funding involved. The worldwide growth of support for research research has presented an oppo 同unity for countries large and small to wo rl< in concert concert across national borders . Cooperation and collaboration can enhance the quality quality of science ， avoid unnecessary duplicalion ， provide economies of scale ，and address issues that can only be solved by working together. Heads of research funding funding agencies have a responsibility to meet these objectives on behalf of the research research community. To ensure a global ly consultative process and 10 improve communication and cooperation cooperation among research fund ing agencies ， the GRC annu 創Iy holds a set of reg i onal meelings as well as an annual global meeting to gather input from the different different wor ld regions ，address issues of mutual concern 10 research and research lunding lunding worldwide ，and to agree on guidelines and princip les by wh ich mu ltinationa l research research co ll aboration can be enhanced. Thereby ， the GRC shall also provide assistance assistance to those research institutions and funding organizations wishing to build a world - class research landscape. The pu 巾oses of the Global Research Council are: • To improve communicalion and cooperalion among funding agencies; • To promote the sharing 01 dala and best practices for high -quality research cooperalion; cooperalion; • To provide a forum for r egular meetings of the Heads of Research Councils; • To respond to opportunilies and to address issues of common concern in the support of research and education; • To be a resource for those institutions wishing 10 build a world-c lass resea rch landscape; landscape; • To exp lore mechan isms that suppo パthe globa l science ente rpr ise an d the wor ldw ide research commun ity; and • T 0 remain focused and reach decisions based on scientific meri t.

Oxidative and radiation processes on the Martian surface are destructive to any organic and biological compound. However, the cold and dry climate on Mars may preserve organic matter in the subsurface, even in old terrain when spared from regional metamorphism. An interdisciplinary preparation phase for future Mars missions is crucial to better understand the processes that may alter organic matter.

  • Mars Analogues for Space Exploration Newsletter December 2016
    MASE - Mars Analogues for Space Exploration Newsletter December 2016 From Earth to Mars, towards understanding better the red planet habitability Assessing the habitability of Mars and detecting life, if it was ever there, depends on knowledge of whether the combined environmental stresses experienced on Mars are compatible with life and whether a record of that life could ever be detected. However, our current ability to make these assessments is hampered by a lack of knowledge of how the combined effect of different environmental stresses influence the survival and growth of organisms. In particular, many combinations of stress, such as high radiation conditions combined with high salt and low temperature, relevant for early Mars, have not been investigated. > Editorial: in the final stage of the MASE project > Earth Analogue Workshop 2016 has been such a busy year for Last October the MASE project was invited to MASE.

Lovell, University of Adelaide Abstract: Women have much to contribute to the worlds of science and technology, and the world is poorer for women’s historical exclusion from such scientific endeavors. Although many industries exhibit gender discrepancies and continue to be shaped by sexism (e.g., banking, farming, mining, trucking, engineering, etc.), no other industry features so predominantly in our future-oriented visions for humanity as does science, and particularly space science.

A first interim report was presented to ESA at the second stakeholders meeting on 30 and 31 May 2005. A second draft report was made available at the time of the final science stake- holders meeting on 16 September 2005 in order for ESA to use its recommendations to prepare the Executive proposal to the Ministerial Conference. The final ESSC report on that activity came a few months after the Min- isterial Conference (June 2006) and attempted to capture some elements of the new situation after Berlin, and in the context of the reduction in NASA’s budget that was taking place at that time; e.g., the postponement sine 1ESSC-ESF, Strasbourg, France.

  • Science with the Trace Gas Orbiter 7
    exomars Media kit → EUROPE’S NEW ERA OF MARS EXPLORATION ExoMars 2016: analysing atmospheric gases for signs of active biological or geological processes on Mars, and testing key landing technologies 1 www.esa.int European Space Agency The ExoMars 2016 mission consists of the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) and an entry, descent and landing demonstrator module, known as Schiaparelli. TGO will make a detailed inventory of Mars’ atmospheric gases, with particular attention to rare gases like methane. There have been tentative and fleeting detections of methane on Mars since 2003, which implies that there is an active, current source. By monitoring its geographical and seasonal dependence, TGO will help to determine whether the methane stems from a geological or biological source. TGO will also image the martian surface, and search for water ice on and just below the surface of the planet. Schiaparelli will test key technologies in preparation for ESA’s contributions to subsequent missions to Mars. The orbiter will also act as a communications satellite for present and future missions to the Red Planet. ExoMars is a joint endeavour between ESA and Russia’s Roscosmos space agency.
