From the Orange County Astronomers’ Board of Trustees: Response to COVID-19 Crisis The OCA Board of Trustees discussed our best course of action for upcoming events at its March 22, 2020 meeting, including Outreaches, General Meetings, SIG Meetings, Star Parties and all other in-person club events. We are cancelling all of these club events through the end of May, 2020 to help reduce exposure to the COVID-19 virus and in response to the orders from Governor Newsom and the state Health Department. Chapman University has cancelled our meetings through the end of May as part of its response to the crisis, so these general meetings could not go forward there anyway. We are exploring the possibility of holding at least part of our April and May meetings online, particularly the guest lectures. The details will be posted to the website, email groups and social media when they become available. Please check the OCA website periodically for updates, as the information should be posted there first. Star parties are now cancelled through the end of May. This includes both the Anza Star Parties and Orange County star parties.

  • The New Commercial Spaceports

    The New Commercial Spaceports

    The New Commercial Spaceports Derek Webber1 Spaceport Associates, Rockville, Maryland 20852,USA During the second half of the 20th Century, the first launch sites were established, mostly during the ‘fifties and ‘sixties. They were originally a product of the cold war and served military and civil government purposes. They were used for launching sounding rockets, space probes, for missile testing and injecting military, scientific, and eventually commercial satellites into orbit. Initially the sites were in either the USA or the former Soviet Union, but gradually they were introduced in other countries too. Governmental astronaut crews were also sent into orbit from these early launch sites. As the 21st Century begins, a new era is emerging where a fuller range of commercial missions will be undertaken and moreover where public space travel will become common place. This situation ushers in a new kind of launch facility, known as the commercial spaceport. I. Introduction here will be vastly different requirements for the future public space travelers, and their families and friends, T than are normally available at the traditional launch sites built fifty years ago. Indeed, the creation of this emerging kind of facility, the commercial spaceport, is in some ways a very necessary part of the creation of the new space businesses that the twenty-first century offers. It will be essential that, while the space tourism companies are becoming established in order to provide services to the new public space travelers, suitable ground based facilities will be developed in parallel to sustain and support these operations. This paper provides an insight into these commercial spaceport facilities, and their characteristics, in order to assist in both design and business planning processes.
