    Human Mars Mission Architecture Plan to Settle the Red Planet with 1000 People

    Human Mars Mission Architecture Plan to Settle the Red Planet with 1000 People Malaya Kumar Biswal M1, Vishnu S2, Devika S Kumar3, Sairam M4 Pondicherry University, Kalapet, Puducherry, India - 605 014 Abstract Exploration is one of the attentive endeavor to mankind and a strategy for evolution. We have been incessantly reconnoitering our planet and universe from Mesopotamian era to modern era. The progression of rocketry and planetary science in past century engendered a futuristic window to explore Mars which have been a source of inspiration to hundreds of astronomers and scientists. Globally, it invigorated space exploration agencies to make expedition for planetary exploration to Mars and Human Mars Missions. Scientists and engineers have portrayed numerous Human Mars Mission proposals and plans but currently the design reference mission 5.0 of NASA is the only mission under study. Here we propose a mission architecture for permanent Human Mars Settlement with 1000 peoples with multiple launch of sufficient cargoes and scientific instruments. Introduction: This paper focuses on design of Human Mars Mission with reference to the instructions by Mars Society. We proposed mission architecture for carrying 1000 peoples onboard spaceship (Marship). Overall mission architecture outline map and Human Mars Settlement Map is provided next to this page. We divided the whole mission architecture into three phases starting from orbital launch of launch vehicles and Mars colony establishment. We proposed novel habitat for protection during robust dust storms, various method to make the colony economically successful, minerals and their applications, administrative methods, water extraction, plantation, landing patterns, estimation of masses of food to be carried out and customizable system for re-use and recycling.

    Radar Scattering from the Summer Polar Mesosphere: Theory and Observations

    RADAR SCATTERING FROM THE SUMMER POLAR MESOSPHERE: THEORY AND OBSERVATIONS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by John Yungdo Nagamichi Cho May 1993 c John Yungdo Nagamichi Cho 1993 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED RADAR SCATTERING FROM THE SUMMER POLAR MESOSPHERE: THEORY AND OBSERVATIONS John Yungdo Nagamichi Cho, Ph.D. Cornell University, 1993 The anomalously large radar reflectivities observed in the summer polar meso- sphere have eluded satisfactory explanation until now. We propose that the fol- lowing chain of causality is responsible for the so-called polar mesosphere sum- mer echoes (PMSE): The uniquely low temperatures in the summer mesopause produce ice aerosols. Because the aerosols exist in a plasma, they become elec- trically charged. The ambient electrons become coupled to the aerosols through electric fields and their effective diffusivity is retarded due to the large size of the aerosols. The reduction in diffusivity allows electron density inhomogeneities to be maintained at the radar Bragg scales. The radar waves are then scattered by the inhomogeneities. We support the above concept by developing a quantitative theory of ambipolar diffusion in the mesosphere. We then apply the results to isotropic turbulence and Fresnel radar scatter to show that the observed radar reflectivities can be explained by the theory. We show that the presence of realistic charged aerosols are sufficient to explain PMSE. We also show that dressed aerosol radar scatter, proposed by others as a generation mechanism for PMSE, can only apply to echoes detected by UHF radars.

During the year, Andrew announced his intention to retire in 2018. Following a wide-ranging search, assisted by Saxton Bampfylde, the Board has chosen Ms Rebecca Matthews as his successor. Andrew will now retire on 30 September and Rebecca will take up her role the following day. Rebecca is currently the Managing Director of the European Capital of Culture Aarhus 2017, a role she has held with great distinction for five years. Her previous roles include being the British Council’s Director for New York and Global Partnerships, and Director Government Relations for the Sydney Opera House. Rebecca holds a MA (Distinction) in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute University of London and an MA in Modern and Mediaeval Languages from the University of Cambridge. She was awarded the Knight’s Cross Order of the Dannebrog in 2017 by HM Queen Margrethe II for services to Denmark and Danish arts and culture. In announcing Rebecca’s appointment, I commented on her experience of executive management and fundraising, her international outlook and her clearly demonstrated ability to mix easily with all levels of Society and that these were key factors in our choice of Rebecca.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Sydney eScholarship You are currently viewing this page at 60% zoom. The page is optimised for 100%: not all elements on the page may look as intended. The Imagined Sounds of Outer Space James Wierzbicki Readers who know that I often write about film music – and that my publications include an article on the use of the electronic instrument called the theremin in depicting alien “Others” in Hollywood films from the 1950s (Wierzbicki 2002), a monograph on the score for the 1956 film Forbidden Planet (Wierzbicki 2005), and a book chapter on music in The Twilight Zone (Wierzbicki 2012) – might well suspect that this essay will focus on the imagined sounds of outer space as realized in the soundtracks of science-fiction films and television. Those imagined sounds are indeed my primary concerns here, but I will frame my thoughts with considerations of the imagined sounds of space as realized in music alone. The core of the essay deals in turn with depictions both literary and cinematic of signals from space, with cinematic sounds that in one way or another are linked to the technology of space exploration, with imagined sounds associated with “heavenly bodies” that might be visited by Earth-based astronauts, and with sounds that represent travel in and through outer space. This last category of sounds is, I think, especially interesting, because at least some of its cinematic exemplars seem to share basic elements with the “space music” of various composers for whom writing for the cinema was perhaps one of the furthest things from their minds.
