    Welcome Letter Hello delegates and welcome to VAMUN XXXIX and the seventh iteration of the Wilson Global Systems Simulation! My name is Noah Strike and I’ll be your Under-Secretary-General for WGSS this year. For those unfamiliar, WGSS is a groundbreaking four-way geopolitical crisis simulation. Each committee is tasked with not only considering its position in world affairs, but also the positions of its competitors - the other committees. Decisions made in one committee with have ripple effects throughout the simulation, just as in reality. In the past, WGSS topics have included the Congo Crisis of 1964, the Yemeni Civil War, and a less-than historically accurate reenactment of World War I. This year, WGSS is looking to the stars. The years following 2019 have not been friendly to the world. An escalating US-China trade war has decimated trans-Pacific trade and the industrialized economies of both countries; production is down, prices for goods have skyrocketed, and unemployment is at the highest point since the 2008 financial crisis. Political upheaval and shocking regime change in Russia has challenged the world order of the 2010s; political participation and activism are up, but alongside them, socio-economic and political uncertainty threaten Russia’s future. A European Union fractured by a “no-deal” Brexit and subsequent economic collapse between the mainland and the United Kingdom has caused massive turmoil on the continent; trade is down, unemployment is up, and the future unity of the Union is far, far from certain. These crises are, however, dwarfed by the early arrival of the climate catastrophe.

  • China's Space Program: an Overview
    Order Code RS21641 Updated October 18, 2005 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China’s Space Program: An Overview Marcia S. Smith Specialist in Aerospace and Telecommunications Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Summary The People’s Republic of China successfully completed its second human spaceflight mission on October 17, 2005. China is only the third country, after Russia and the United States, able to launch people into space. Its first human spaceflight was in 2003 when a single astronaut, or “taikonaut,” made a flight lasting slightly less than a day. The 2005 flight lasted five days, and involved two taikonauts. As the United States embarks upon President Bush’s “Vision for Space Exploration” to return astronauts to the Moon by 2020 and someday send them to Mars, some may view China’s entrance into the human exploration of space as a competitive threat, while others may view China as a potential partner. This report will be updated as warranted. Introduction China has been launching satellites since 1970. Most of the launches are of Chinese communications, weather, remote sensing, navigation, or scientific satellites. Some of those satellites may be for military applications, or are dual use. Some were commercial launches for foreign countries or companies, primarily placing communications satellites into orbit. China launched its first astronaut, or “taikonaut,”1 in October 2003. China has three space launch sites: Jiuquan (also called Shuang Cheng-tzu) in the Gobi desert; Xichang, in southeastern China (near Chengdu); and Taiyuan, south of Beijing. Jiuquan was China’s first launch site, and is used for launches of a variety of spacecraft, including those related to the human spaceflight program.

Israel Approves First New West Bank Construction of Bennett Admin as Settler Protests Continue by Morgan Artvukhina While the Arab Ra’am party won concessions making it harder for the Israeli government to demolish Palestinian homes when it joined Yair Lapid’s coalition, the central issue of settlement foundation and expansion was never touched on, leaving Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to pursue an annexationist agenda unimpeded. The Israeli government has made its first approval to new settlement construction in the West Bank since Bennett became prime minister earlier this month. On Wednesday, the Civil Administration’s High Planning Subcommittee approved 31 new projects in half a dozen West Bank settlements, including Elkana, Mishor Adumim, Karnei Shomron, Kfar Adumim and Yitzhar, according to Yedioth Ahronoth. The projects include a shopping mall in Mishor Adumim industrial zone, a school for children with special needs in Elkana, and yeshiva and synagogues in both Karnei Shomron and Kfar Adumim, as well as a small number of new housing units in Yitzhar. Bennett, leader of the right-wing Yamina party, became prime minister on June 13 as part of a diverse coalition of parties that united to oust Likud’s Benjamin Netanyahu from his 12-year term as prime minister. While the coalition required extensive compromises by all parties, which includes right, center, and left-wing parties, Zionist Jews and Islamist Arabs, Bennett managed to avoid giving up one of his most important political goals: the continued Jewish settlement of the West Bank.

  • International Space Station Scores New Power Boost from the Sun
    International Space Station scores new power boost from the Sun Expedition 65 Flight Engineer Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency) is pictured attached to an articulating portable foot restraint on the end of a robotic arm during the space walk to install new solar panels on the International Space Station. Picture: NASA. Spacewalking astronauts equipped the International Space Station with powerful new solar panels on June 20, overcoming suit problems and other obstacles. It took two spacewalks for French astronaut Thomas Pesquet and NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough to install and unfurl the panel to its full 19 metres in length. The solar wing unrolled like a red carpet once the final set of bolts was released. The slow but steady extension took 10 minutes, with station cameras providing live TV views. Spacewalkers Shane Kimbrough, left, and Thomas Pesquet work to complete the installation of a roll-out solar array on the International Space Station. Picture: NASA. “It is beautiful,” Pesquet called out. “Well done, both of you,” Mission Control replied once the operation was complete. “That was great to see.” The astronauts started the 6.5 hour space walk picking up where they left off on June 16, when a series of problems prevented them from unrolling the hi-tech solar panel. After pushing and tugging, the astronauts managed to unfold the solar panel so both halves aligned end to end, resembling a roll of paper towels. Their shouts of “Woo-hoo!” were met with applause in Mission Control. The two could not make final power connections until they were back on the night side of Earth, when the station’s old solar panels stopped soaking up sunlight and generating power.

    WORLD SPACECRAFT DIGEST by Jos Heyman 2013 Version: 1 January 2014 © Copyright Jos Heyman The spacecraft are listed, in the first instance, in the order of their International Designation, resulting in, with some exceptions, a date order. Spacecraft which did not receive an International Designation, being those spacecraft which failed to achieve orbit or those which were placed in a sub orbital trajectory, have been inserted in the date order. For each spacecraft the following information is provided: a. International Designation and NORAD number For each spacecraft the International Designation, as allocated by the International Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), has been used as the primary means to identify the spacecraft. This is followed by the NORAD catalogue number which has been assigned to each object in space, including debris etc., in a numerical sequence, rather than a chronoligical sequence. Normally no reference has been made to spent launch vehicles, capsules ejected by the spacecraft or fragments except where such have a unique identification which warrants consideration as a separate spacecraft or in other circumstances which warrants their mention. b. Name The most common name of the spacecraft has been quoted. In some cases, such as for US military spacecraft, the name may have been deduced from published information and may not necessarily be the official name. Alternative names have, however, been mentioned in the description and have also been included in the index. c. Country/International Agency For each spacecraft the name of the country or international agency which owned or had prime responsibility for the spacecraft, or in which the owner resided, has been included.
