Responsibility of Science Germany, Darmstadt 04.08. - 11.08.2007 Welcome to the ISSC 07! Welcome to the ISSC 07! We are happy to welcome you as participants in Germany. Hoping that you have had a nice journey, we are looking forward to the week of the International Summer and Science Camp. We are proud to present you a very mixed program where everyone will discover totally new fields. juFORUM’s members are known for their open-mindedness and their interest in other disciplines. This year’s ISSC program is closer to our annual congress’ program than to the last year’s ISSC program in Sweden. The reason for that is on the one hand our very good experience with this kind of event. On the other hand, the ISSC is a great chance for juFORUM to introduce itself. And we hope you like what we show you! The motto “Responsibility of science” of the ISSC 07 was a sudden idea. But since we decided that, we heard and read everywhere about responsibility (per- haps we are just sensibilised now :-) ). So we are obviously totally in the spirit of the age. But regarding all the things that we heard and read, we don’t consider our workshop as redundant, far from it! On the contrary, we believe that it is necessary to think about it, to try to define what responsibility of science could be and how it could be realized in today’s life. We are curious what we are going to work out together! We hope to fulfil your expectations and provide some surprises!

Germany is famous for its breads. Perhaps there are better patisseries than the German one, but our whole-grain bread is unbeatable. • See for yourself that Germans are friendlier and more humorous than assumed abroad ;-) We will try our best to convince you! • Don’t cross the street when the light is red – German car drivers are not used to slow down for pedestrians. And you have the smaller crush zone. • Be on time – every one knows that Germans ALWAYS are ;-) A given time means that time and not half an hour later. Buses arrive usually quite on schedule. The Deutsche Bahn is an ex- ception. • Don’t make any jokes about the Nazis. That’s perhaps the only thing that Germans can’t laugh about. • Don’t expect Germans to wear Bavarian leather pants and feather hats and eat Sauerkraut all the time ;-). There are Germans who think that Bavaria is not really a part of Germany even though Bavarian sights like Neuschwanstein castle or Bavarian beer are the first things foreigners think of. • If you want to use the public transport, buy a ticket. There are many controls, paying the ticket is cheaper ;-). 3 ISSC 2007, Rhein-Main Area juFORUM e.V Most important vocabulary Yes ja No nein Good afternoon / evening Guten Tag / Abend Good night Gute Nacht Thank you Danke Please Bitte You’re welcome Bitte Hello! / Bye!

The mandate of ESOC is to conduct mission operations for ESA satellites and to establish, operate and maintain the necessary ground segment infras- tructure. ESOC’s involvement in a new mission normally begins with the anal- ysis of possible operational orbits or trajectories and the calculation of the corresponding launch windows - selected to make sure that the conditions encountered in this early phase remain within the space- craft capabilities. The selection of the operational orbit is a complex task with many trade-offs involving the scientific objectives of the mission, the launch vehicle, the spacecraft and the ground stations. Once the final orbit has been selected, the ground stations, which are used to communicate with the satellite, are selected according to the mission phase and what has to be done. http : //www.esa.int/ IGD - Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics IGD focuses on the development of product prototypes (hard- and software) and the realization of concepts, models and solutions for computer graphics and its adaption to specific application require- ments. The work is rounded off by object-oriented basic research projects and the realization of single devices and computer graphics systems with pilot character (e.g. virtual and augmented reality, mo- bile computing and security technologies).
