It is very interesting to look at the ‘‘new IAG’’ from the perspective of history. This was done by Beutler et al. (2004), also included in this Volume. 1 The road from Birmingham (1999) to Sapporo (2003) The new IAG structure was developed after the IUGG General Assembly in Birmingham in summer 1999. Between the summer 1999 and the summer 2001 a thor- ough review of the IAG work and structure was per- formed by the so-called IAG Review Committee, the work Gerhard Beutler of which is documented by Beutler et al. (2002). The list of Preamble authors of this document also is identical with the list of members of the IAG Review Committee.

  • Call for Entries from Architects, Designers and Artists to Improve Culture Mile’S Pedestrian Experience Along Its North-South Route
    Call for entries from architects, designers and artists to improve Culture Mile’s pedestrian experience along its North-South route The City of London Corporation is delighted to announce a call for entries to improve wayfinding, walkability and the pedestrian experience along Culture Mile’s ‘North-South route’ between the Millennium Bridge and Barbican. The City of London Corporation is seeking an innovative design concept and proposal for the ‘Culture Mile North-South Route’, between the Millennium Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Aldersgate Street and St Martin’s-le-Grand, to be included as part of the Culture Mile 2019-2020 public programme. The City is looking for inspiring designs that will improve the wayfinding, walkability, appearance and vitality of this key thoroughfare, which links the Southbank to the Culture Mile area. This busy route incorporates entrances to several landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Museum of London and the Barbican estate. It includes the Barbican and St Paul’s underground stations, which collectively provide over 28 million passenger entrances/exits annually. We are inviting architects, designers and artists to submit a concept design that will elevate and enhance the look and feel of this area, providing visual cues, increased wayfinding and a deeper sense of connection between St Paul’s and Barbican underground stations. Following the shortlist of entries in July, the winning team will be revealed and commissioned to develop a fully costed, feasible design that can be installed in a section of the route, subject to planning permission and other relevant City authorisations. The design will remain in situ between Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020.

Eratosthenes (circa 276 B.C.–194 B.C.) is considered a famous scientist of ancient Greece. He was a mathematician and geographer. Born in Cyrene, now Shahhat (Libya), he was appointed to teach the son of the Egyptian King Ptolemy III Euergetes. In 240 B.C., he became the third chief librarian the Great Library of Alexan- dria. Eratosthenes laid basics for mathematical geography. He was the first to calculate precisely in an original way the Earth meridian’s length between Syene and Alexandria. For this purpose he used perpendicular projection of the sun rays during summer solstice (06.22) near the town Syene, now Aswan. His estimation of the length of the Earth’s radius (6300 km) is close to present estimation (6371 km). He calculated that a year possesses 365.25 days. He also emphasized the significance of maps as the most important thing in geography. Eratosthenes was the first one to use the term “geographem” to describe the Earth. In this way he legitimized the term of geography. He also put into system geographical information from various sources in order to obtain a map of the world as precise as possible.

Prepared by ESA Space Debris Office Reference GEN-DB-LOG-00270-OPS-SD Issue/Revision 21.0 Date of Issue 19 July 2019 Status Issued ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution ! Page 2/234 Classification of Geosynchronous objects. Issue Date 19 July 2019 Ref GEN-DB-LOG-00270-OPS-SD ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution ! Abstract This is a status report on (near) geosynchronous objects as of 1 January 2019. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1578 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 14 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 529 are actively controlled, 831 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 195 are in a libration orbit and 21 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 2 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 60 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 55 have not been catalogued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1638. Finally, there are 130 rocket bodies crossing GEO.

Get in touch by emailing the team on [email protected] if you have any questions or if you would like to be featured DECEMBER UPDATE Connected London Team Update Full Fibre Grant Funding Projects On 24 October the Mayor announced a £10m fund from the Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) for London boroughs to roll out full fibre and tackle not spots. This latest funding joins other investments of £15.4m from London Councils, and £8.5m LFFN funding from the Department for Digital, Culture Media & Sport (DCMS). Grant funding for fibre projects in London now equates £33.9m. • SIP - Local London, £7.7m • SIP - West London Alliance, £7.7m • LFFN – Central London and OPDC, £8.5m • SIF – Remaining south London and two central London boroughs, £10m The Mayor has also committed to granting £1 million to sub-regional partnerships to establish embedded regional roles, developed collaboratively with the partnerships, to support borough assets teams in the roll out of full fibre and provide resource and expertise. The GLA is working with London Councils and the sub-regional partnerships to ensure that the £1 million dedicated for regional roles delivers roles with responsibilities and work programmes that meet the borough’s needs. Connected London Full Fibre Network TfL’s Telecommunications Commercialisation Project (TCP) is progressing through the procurement process. At present, TfL are in dialogue with bidders and final bids are expected in first quarter of 2020. Invitation to Submit Final Tender (ISFT) will be issued on 7 February 2020.
