AIAA LA-LV Space Philosophy Gathering

AIAA LA-LV Space Philosophy Gathering on December 18, 2021 RSVP and Information: https://conta.cc/3xwhmdb (This posting here is for information and donation only. No ticket sales on Meetup. Please follow RSVP link above (or below) for tickets. Thank you very much ! ) AIAA LA-LV Space Philosophy Gathering   Saturday December 18th, 10AM-2PM PST (US & Canada) Philosophy deals with the fundamental nature of knowledge and seeks answers and meaning to the deep questions of our existence, nature, and the cosmos. Great philosophies underpin the activities of great civilizations. Philosophical thoughts and tenets precede visions and policies of nations that manifest as concepts and architectures that are vital to propel the progress engine for the continued sustenance of civilization.   Space philosophy shines light on the various dimensions of humanity’s quest to interact with nature’s most open, transparent, and spacious physical domain; to explore, settle, and engage not only our nation or established allies, but to extend our collaboration, find common meaning, and enhance and enrich our common humanity across the globe, for the benefit and betterment of all.   Space philosophy, through what we know from the very short span our species has directly engaged our planet from without, continues to refine our species sensitivity, offering new insight and perspectives into our inextricable links with the biosphere, making us more aware of our place in the cosmos and the unique planet we call Mother Earth. Outer space activities continue to provide unbounded inspiration and nourishment for the soul of humanity through the sheer awe and wonder we experience while our curiosity impels us to pursue ever more complex operations in this domain.   By design, space activities and technologies are very conscious of resources, and space operations continue to pursue ever cleaner, ecologically sensitive awareness and frugal approaches that are finding their way into dwellings and cities on Earth. Our esteemed group of speakers and panelists from around the globe presented various dimensions and points of view on space philosophy.   August Space Philosophy here: AIAA LA LV Space Philosophy Gathering 2021 August 14 - YouTube   A common theme that resonated throughout the day-long event was that our species and our biosphere and our view and place in the cosmos are inextricably linked. And that we should continue to use our species-unique imaginative faculties and creativity that have served us well to progress the use of tools of technology to become more aware and more sensitive to our surroundings. The messages conveyed suggest that we act collectively in a manner that responds to nature benevolently, starting from caring for our immediate Earthly nature and environment. And space activity, human space activity in particular, is helping to make us better stewards of spaceship earth, or more appropriately, Mother Earth.   The overwhelming support for the August event now has accumulated a lineup of speakers who will present their views in the next edition of this program around Christmas time. One more way to enjoy the holidays!   List of Speakers   Arthur Gordon – Editor in Chief. Journal of Space Philosophy   "Overcoming Objections to Space Travel."   The aim will be to examine why objections to space travel are so persistent and to explore how we might address them more successfully.   Jim Crisafulli - Executive Director, Alliance for Collaboration in the Exploration of Space (ACES Worldwide)   Global Space Activity: The Case for Collaboration not Competition   As a member of our ACES Worldwide International Advisory Committee I know you appreciate the "philosophy” to help advance humankind's exploration of (and future development in) Space   Adriano Autino - Space Renaissance International, Founder, former President   My speech title: "Expanding Civilization Beyond Earth's Limits: An Evolutionary Process"   Abstract: "Evolving to a Kardashev Type II Civilization, achieving the capability to use the Solar System energy, resources and information, and to achieve a 100% inclusive society. The history of life evolution is a negentropic struggle towards freedom."   Alice Gorman – Space Archaeologist, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Gorman   Space Archaeology And Why It Matters   After more than 60 years of space travel, human material culture has spread throughout the solar system and beyond, and is the subject of investigation by space archaeologists. These places and objects also have cultural heritage significance for people on Earth.   Kaja Antlej - https://www.deakin.edu.au/about-deakin/people/kaja-antlej   Title: Museums In The Age Of Human Expansion To Space:   Extended Reality Heritage Experiences For People Living And Working Off-Earth   Abstract: The presentation will discuss how museums and other heritage institutions could support mental, emotional and identity needs of astronauts and people living and working in ICE (isolated, confined and extreme) environments of space, including in space stations, on the Moon and Mars.   Can meaningful and engaging gamified extended reality (XR) experiences motivate astronauts to exercise?   Mike O’Neal   Steve Durst – Founding Director, ILOA   https://www.iau.org/administration/membership/individual/17952/   Fiorella Terenzi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiorella_Terenzi   Life Lessons of the Universe   Universal laws of astrophysics contain extraordinary wisdom about our own lives.   The laws not discriminate between the enormous and the tiny, the primitive and the new.   They are simple. We cannot break or change these real and unchangeable universal laws.   More to be announced. Tickets: (No Refund within 7 days before the event.

Lunar Roving Adventures - Dust, Dust, Everywhere - What Are We Going To Do?

(December 15) Lunar Roving Adventures - Dust, Dust, Everywhere - What Are We Going To Do? by Mr. Ron Creel RSVP and Information: https://conta.cc/3xtwCrc (This posting here is for information and donation only. No ticket sales on Meetup. Please follow RSVP link above (or below) for tickets. Thank you very much ! ) AIAA LA-LV 12/15 Section e-(Town Hall) Meeting Wednesday, December 15, 2021, 7 PM PST (US & Canada) (Add to Calendar) Lunar Roving Adventures Dust, Dust, Everywhere - What Are We Going To Do? by Mr. Ron Creel Retired Space And Thermal Systems Engineer Member of the Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) Team Please join us and learn more about the exciting Lunar Rovers, and the issues for dust exposure for the Lunar Missions and Human Settlement on the Moon ! Mr. Ron Creel is a space thermal and systems engineer who began his NASA career in 1965 as a co-op student at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), joining full time in 1969, after graduating from Florida State University with a degree in Engineering Mechanics. Creel has more than 51 years of extensive experience on space engineering projects, both for the Government and industry. As thermal control engineer on the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) Team, his responsibilities included design, test verification, and mission support engineering for the vehicle's thermal control system - in his words, "a high-speed and challenging task on America's spacecraft with wheels." For his contributions, he was awarded the "Silver Snoopy," the NASA Astronaut Corps' own special award for outstanding performance. Following his Apollo experiences, Creel worked on other thermal engineering projects at NASA, including the Laser Geodynamic Satellite (LAGEOS), the High Energy Astronomical Observatory (HEAO) and the X-Ray Calibration Test Facility, and performed extensive thermal/stress analytical work on Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) internal flow components. After his NASA career, Creel performed systems engineering on Strategic Defense Initiative Organization "Star Wars" space-based defense projects including extensive field testing in the Pacific. He continued thermal engineering on several satellite programs, including the International Space Station launch-to-activation program at the Boeing Company. Ron also served as Thermal Subject Matter Expert on the Independent Readiness Review Team for U.S. Air Force satellites. During the Apollo Moon missions using the LRV, Creel experienced the frustration of trying to cope with the adverse effects of lunar dust and is an active and enthusiastic resource for technology development efforts to develop Isolation Technologies for mitigation of adverse lunar dust effects for NASA. He is also interested in contributing to development of nuclear systems for survival and robotic and manned exploration of the Moon. He is a much-sought-after expert and speaker who willingly describes the Apollo LRV thermal design, test verification, and mission support systems and shares experiences gained in coping with the harsh lunar environment. He supports several educational projects, such as lectures and the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge held at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center for High School and College student teams, and enjoys sharing his experience with students and young and old aerospace professionals. He has also formed a team which is developing LUROVA - the LUnar ROVing Adventures 3D "Edutainment" simulation for student involvement and challenge. Selected Publications: J.R. Gaier and R.A.

AIAA LA-LV 12/4 Section (Town Hall) e-Meeting (on Zoom)Saturday, December 4, 2021, 11 AM PST The Exploration of the Moon and then onto Mars by Dr. James L. Green NASA Chief Scientist Scientists believe that the Moon was formed out of a collision between the Earth with a Mars sized planet named Theia at a very early stage of the development of the solar system. From then on, the Earth and the Moon’s evolution have been intertwined. The Moon has kept the Earth’s rotational axis pointing in the same direction providing a significant level of stability for the Earth’s climate. Today, the Moon holds many fascinating mysteries for scientists to explore. Scientifically there has been several stunning advances in lunar science and a realization that going back to the Moon will provide scientists and explorers the opportunity to live to live and work on a planetary surface. NASA’s future plan is to go to the Moon to stay and then onto Mars. Dr. James L. Green, Chief Scientist, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), U.S.A. NASA's Chief Scientist Jim Green serves as principal adviser to the NASA administrator and other senior officials on agency science programs, strategic planning, science policy, and the evaluation of related investments. Prior to his appointment as the chief scientist, Dr. Green was the director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters from August 2006 to April 2018. Under his leadership, he managed the New Horizons spacecraft flyby of Pluto, the Juno spacecraft to Jupiter, and the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars just to name a few.

United States Loses First Global Space War to Russians (Mr. Paul Szymanski)

(November 6) United States Loses First Global Space War to Russians, by Mr. Paul Szymanski

RSVP and Information: https://conta.cc/3C9Fxjf

(For posting only, not for ticket sale on this webpage. Please check RSVP and information link/button for RSVP/registration/tickets. Thank you very much !) AIAA LA-LV 11/6 Section (Town Hall) e-Meeting (on Zoom) Saturday, November 6, 2021, 10 AM PDT (US/Canada) United States Loses First Global Space War to Russians What is Space War? How to Fight and Win the Next Space War? by Mr. Paul Szymanski Outer Space Warfare Noted Author and Speaker, Space Strategies Center; Space Control Consultant ------------------------------------- The importance of outer space satellites and their supporting systems cannot be overstated. Their use in the military, civil and commercial world to provide communications, weather, navigation, timing, imagery and Earth resources monitoring provides major advantages to those who employ the information generated by these systems. However, due to the global reach of these space systems, advantages are provided to both friendly and adversary militaries. Beginning with the use of space systems to support military operations during the Arab-Israeli conflicts, and in Desert Storm, both major and minor players are considering how denial of space capabilities of their adversaries will be a force multiplier on terrestrial battlefields. Based on mathematical/geometric analysis, it is now possible to verify United States attacks on 8 different Russian satellites. It appears that the United States and Russia have been at war in outer space in 2014, due to the Ukrainian conflict. It is my current assessment that the United States has lost this first-ever space war between major countries, due to Russian asymmetrical economic attacks on the US banking system. ------------------------------------- Mr. Paul Szymanski Mr. PaulSzymanski has 47 years’ experience in missile and space warfare policy, strategy, simulations, surveillance, resilience, threat assessment, long-range strategic planning, and command and control. In addition, he has a comprehensive experience base, having worked with multiple services (Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines), civilian agencies (NASA, DARPA, FEMA), and from the Pentagon (Secretary of the Air Force) to systems development (Space and Missile Systems Center - SMC, now Space Systems Command), technology development (Air Force Research Lab) to operational field test (China Lake Naval Test Center). This gives him a unique perspective in understanding divergent issues associated with each step of DOD procurement processes. ------------------------------------- Tickets: (No Refund within 7 days before the event.

2021 October 12 AIAA LA-LV Planetary Defense Polls

AIAA LA-LV Space Agency and Global Collaboration for Planetary Defense October 12, 2021 https://conta.cc/3Ce3ZQ0 (Event details description and speakers' bio) https://engage.aiaa.org/losangeles-lasvegas/viewdocument/2021-october-12-space-agencies-an https://www.aiaa-lalv.org/2021-october-12-space-agencies-and-global-collaboration-for-planetary-defense/ The following poll questions are based on the Planetary Defense Conference Exercise - 2021 https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/pd/cs/pdc21/ Poll questionnaire The 2021 PDC Hypothetical Asteroid Impact Scenario IMPORTANT!!! Although the following scenario is realistic in many ways, it is completely fictional and does NOT describe an actual potential asteroid impact. A summary of the scenario follows (please see the above link for further details): Hypothetical Warning #1: ON APRIL 19, 2021 NEWLY DISCOVERED ASTEROID POSES A RISK WITH VERY LOW PROBABILITY OF IMPACTING EARTH. Details of Warning #1: - Apparent visual magnitude of 21.5, and the asteroid is confirmed the following day. It is assigned the designation“2021 PDC”by the Minor Planet Center. (Note: to reinforce the fact that this is not a real asteroid, we are using three letters in the designation, something that would never be done for an actual asteroid.) - Currently, the trajectory is uncertain, but the probability of impact estimated to be low, about 1 chance in 2500 of hitting the Earth (0.04%). - The asteroid’s size, in particular, is highly uncertain. It could range anywhere from as small as 35 meters to as large as 700 meters, which could cause severe blast damage locally (tens of kilometers) or regionally (hundreds of kilometers). - JPL’s Sentry impact monitoring system and ESA’s CLOMON system both agree that the most likely potential impact occurs on October 20, 2021 - just 6 months away. Hypothetical Warning #2: ON APRIL 26, 2021, THE ASTEROID’S RISK OF IMPACTING EARTH HAS CLIMBED TO ABOUT 5%. Details of Warning #2: - Astronomers continue to track the asteroid every night after discovery, and the impact probability steadily increases. - Based on its mean apparent visual magnitude, the asteroid’s absolute (intrinsic) magnitude is estimated to be H = 22.4 +/- 0.3. If 2021 PDC’s albedo (reflectivity) is 13%, a typical mean value, this H value implies a mean asteroid size of about 120 meters, but there is still a lot of uncertainty in the albedo and hence, it’s size. - Space agencies interfacing with the international Space Missions Planning and Advisory Group (SMPAG). Hypothetical Warning #3: THE ASTEROID’S RISK OF IMPACT IS INCREASING WEEKLY. Details of Warning #3: - If the asteroid is on an impact trajectory, the probability will continue to rise, reaching as high as 30% by the end of the week, 70% by next week, and 90% during the following week. - Little is known about other properties of the object, such as composition and density. As a result, the potential impact damage and population risk is also highly uncertain. Based on these estimates, the possible energy released on impact could range from 1.2 Mt to 13 Gt (TNT equivalent), which is the equivalent of a nuclear weapon. Read the full article
