  • ESA Strategy for Science at the Moon
    ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Releasable to the Public ESA Strategy for Science at the Moon ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Releasable to the Public EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A new era of space exploration is beginning, with multiple international and private sector actors engaged and with the Moon as its cornerstone. This renaissance in lunar exploration will offer new opportunities for science across a multitude of disciplines from planetary geology to astronomy and astrobiology whilst preparing the knowledge humanity will need to explore further into the Solar System. Recent missions and new analyses of samples retrieved during Apollo have transformed our understanding of the Moon and the science that can be performed there. We now understand the scientific importance of further exploration of the Moon to understand the origins and evolution of Earth and the cosmic context of life’s emergence on Earth and our future in space. ESA’s priorities for scientific activities at the Moon in the next ten years are: • Analysis of new and diverse samples from the Moon. • Detection and characterisation of polar water ice and other lunar volatiles. • Deployment of geophysical instruments and the build up a global geophysical network. • Identification and characterisation of potential resources for future exploration. • Deployment long wavelength radio astronomy receivers on the lunar far side. • Characterisation of the dynamic dust, charge and plasma environment. • Characterisation of biological sensitivity to the lunar environment.

    (Preprint) AAS 18-344 REFINED MISSION ANALYSIS FOR HERACLES – A ROBOTIC LUNAR SURFACE SAMPLE RETURN MISSION UTILIZING HUMAN INFRASTRUCTURE Dr.-Ing. Florian Renk,* Dr. rer. nat. Markus Landgraf,† and Lorenzo Bucci‡ In the frame of the International Space Exploration Coordination Working Group the European Space Agency is participating in the planning of future ex- ploration architectures. The mission concept for the robotic lander mission (Human Enhanced Robotic Architecture and Capability for Lunar Exploration and Science – HERACLES) has matured meanwhile. The mission aims for a human assisted sample return from the lunar surface, while at the same time providing a qualification opportunity for technologies required for a crewed lu- nar lander. Human spaceflight rating is required for parts of the mission, since the sample return shall not be via a direct return trajectory, but the samples shall be transported via Orion, and thus docking of the robotic lander to the LOP-G will be required. This paper shall provide an update on the current mission de- sign as agreed between the international partners and the associated mission analysis as all the intermediate and final orbits have been selected for the base- line. The implications of the design decision as well as some alternatives that can serve as a backup scenario will be presented as well. The paper will first present the baseline mission sequence and will then focus on aspects of particu- lar interest as e.g. the strong limitation in the launch window design and the ren- dezvous and docking strategy. INTRODUCTION HERACLES is intended as a human-robotic architecture in the frame of preparations for hu- man exploration activities on the lunar surface.

  • On the Habitability of Our Universe
    Chapter for the book Consolidation of Fine Tuning On the Habitability of Our Universe Abraham Loeb Astronomy department, Harvard University, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Is life most likely to emerge at the present cosmic time near a star like the Sun? We consider the habitability of the Universe throughout cosmic history, and conservatively restrict our attention to the context of “life as we know it” and the standard cosmological model, ΛCDM. The habitable cosmic epoch started shortly after the first stars formed, about 30 Myr after the Big Bang, and will end about 10 Tyr from now, when all stars will die. We review the formation history of habitable planets and find that unless habitability around low mass stars is suppressed, life is most likely to exist near ∼ 0.1M stars ten trillion years from now. Spectroscopic searches for biosignatures in the atmospheres of transiting Earth-mass planets around low mass stars will determine whether present-day life is indeed premature or typical from a cosmic perspective. arXiv:1606.08926v2 [astro-ph.CO] 24 Nov 2016 Contents 1 Introduction2 2 The Habitable Epoch of the Early Universe4 2.1 Section Background4 2.2 First Planets4 2.3 Section Summary and Implications5 3 CEMP Stars: Possible Hosts to Carbon Planets in the Early Universe6 3.1 Section Background6 3.2 Star-forming environment of CEMP stars7 3.3 Orbital Radii of Potential Carbon Planets9 3.4 Mass-Radius Relationship for Carbon Planets 13 3.5 Section Summary and Implications 15 4 Water

  • The Electric Sun Hypothesis
    Basics of astrophysics revisited. II. Mass- luminosity- rotation relation for F, A, B, O and WR class stars Edgars Alksnis [email protected] Small volume statistics show, that luminosity of bright stars is proportional to their angular momentums of rotation when certain relation between stellar mass and stellar rotation speed is reached. Cause should be outside of standard stellar model. Concept allows strengthen hypotheses of 1) fast rotation of Wolf-Rayet stars and 2) low mass central black hole of the Milky Way. Keywords: mass-luminosity relation, stellar rotation, Wolf-Rayet stars, stellar angular momentum, Sagittarius A* mass, Sagittarius A* luminosity. In previous work (Alksnis, 2017) we have shown, that in slow rotating stars stellar luminosity is proportional to spin angular momentum of the star. This allows us to see, that there in fact are no stars outside of “main sequence” within stellar classes G, K and M. METHOD We have analyzed possible connection between stellar luminosity and stellar angular momentum in samples of most known F, A, B, O and WR class stars (tables 1-5). Stellar equatorial rotation speed (vsini) was used as main parameter of stellar rotation when possible. Several diverse data for one star were averaged. Zero stellar rotation speed was considered as an error and corresponding star has been not included in sample.
