  • PHILIPPINES’ NATIONAL STATEMENT to the UNISPACE+5O HIGH-LEVEL SEGMENT 20-21 JUNE 2018, VIENNA INTERNATIONAL CENTER
    PHILIPPINES’ NATIONAL STATEMENT TO THE UNISPACE+5o HIGH-LEVEL SEGMENT 20-21 JUNE 2018, VIENNA INTERNATIONAL CENTER TO BE DELIVERED BY ATTY. EMMANUEL S. GALVEZ ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR FINANCE AND LEGAL AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Ms. Simonetta Di Pippo, UNOOSA Director, Ms. Rosa Maria del Refugio Ramirez de Arellano v Haro, COPUOS Chairperson, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon. On behalf of the Philippine Government, allow me to extend my warmest felicitations and congratulations to UNOOSA Director Ms. Di Pippo, COPUOS Chairperson Ms. Arellano the fiftieth y(5oth)Haro and all Signatory States for the successful milestone commemoration of anniversary of the first United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE+5o). The UNISPACE+5o process endeavors to build a foundation that would help define the role of space activities in addressing the overarching long-term development concerns and contributing to global efforts towards achieving the goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Philippines strongly supports the Space 2030 Agenda as it endeavors to create a vision for space cooperation by strengthening the mandate of the COPUOS as unique platform for international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space. As we take note of the contributions of the three conferences to global space governance, 50 years of space exploration and international cooperation on the peaceful uses of outer space, the Philippines is humbled as it has vet to harness fully the potential of the peaceful uses of outer space and reap the benefits of space innovation. There is a pending legislation with the House of Representatives on the proposed Philippines Space Development and Utilization Policy, and the Creation of the Philippines Space Agency.

  • Afghanistan Anam Ahmed | Elizabethtown High School
    Afghanistan Anam Ahmed | Elizabethtown High School Head of State: Ashraf Ghani GDP: 664.76 USD per capita Population: 33,895,000 UN Ambassador: Mahmoud Saikal Joined UN: 1946 Current Member of UNSC: No Past UNSC Membership: No Issue 1: Immigration, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers Afghanistan is the highest refugee producing country with roughly six million refugees. Regarding immigration and refugees, Afghanistan believes that all neighboring countries to those with the highest refugee count, such as Syria and Afghanistan, need to have an open door policy to these individuals. The refugees would need to be approved by the government in order to enter and live in the country; however, if denied access they must not be forced back. Refugee camps with adequate food, water, medical help, and shelter must be provided by the UN and its members in order to reduce refugee suffering. Although many of the countries around the world will disagree with this plan, they fail to realize the severity of this issue. In Afghanistan millions of individuals are left to fend for themselves in a foreign land with literally nothing but the clothes on their back. As a country with over six million refugees, we are able understand the necessity for a change in the current situation. The UN distinguishes between asylum seekers and refugees, however those who are not accepted by others need not be excluded from having a proper life. With the dramatic increase of refugees and immigrants around the world resulting from the dramatic increase of wars of crises, the UN must acknowledge and call all people fleeing from their country refugees and not distinguish between the two.

  • 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.

  • Corporate Profile
    2013 : Epsilon Launch Vehicle 2009 : International Space Station 1997 : M-V Launch Vehicle 1955 : The First Launched Pencil Rocket Corporate Profile Looking Ahead to Future Progress IHI Aerospace (IA) is carrying out the development, manufacture, and sales of rocket projectiles, and has been contributing in a big way to the indigenous space development in Japan. We started research on rocket projectiles in 1953. Now we have become a leading comprehensive manufacturer carrying out development and manufacture of rocket projectiles in Japan, and are active in a large number of fields such as rockets for scientific observation, rockets for launching practical satellites, and defense-related systems, etc. In the space science field, we cooperate with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to develop and manufacture various types of observational rockets named K (Kappa), L (Lambda), and S (Sounding), and the M (Mu) rockets. With the M rockets, we have contributed to the launch of many scientific satellites. In 2013, efforts resulted in the successful launch of an Epsilon Rocket prototype, a next-generation solid rocket which inherited the 2 technologies of all the aforementioned rockets. In the practical satellite booster rocket field, We cooperates with the JAXA and has responsibilities in the solid propellant field including rocket boosters, upper-stage motors in development of the N, H-I, H-II, and H-IIA H-IIB rockets. We have also achieved excellent results in development of rockets for material experiments and recovery systems, as well as the development of equipment for use in a space environment or experimentation. In the defense field, we have developed and manufactured a variety of rocket systems and rocket motors for guided missiles, playing an important role in Japanese defense.

Southeast Asian Space Programmes: Capabilities, Challenges and Collaborations ABSTRACT Space technology has manifold applications in areas as wide-reaching as disaster management, resource management, meteorology, governance, and military and security. Southeast Asian countries, recognising the importance of space technologies, have made investments quite early on. While some of these countries already have established institutions and programmes, others are in the earliest stages of structuring their own. This report tracks the space programmes of Southeast Asian countries, examining their respective directions in terms of government policies and motivations for investments, collaborations with international players, and technical advancements achieved so far in the sector. INTRODUCTION In many parts of the world, space technology is being used to improve people’s lives.

Neither view is relevant today. Although the competitive nature of technological achievement and the wish to explore space will never end, the most important role space serves today is as critical infrastructure for the world. This report, Bringing Space Down to Earth, demonstrates how important space is in our daily lives, particularly in times of crisis.
