SUMMARY:eSpace Webinar - Evolution of crew safety criteria for future Space transportation systems\, by Aline Decadi - ESA
DESCRIPTION:Crew safety is of paramount importance for future human exploratory spaceflight. In order to ensure optimum safety standards\, the design criteria for this new generation of spacecraft must be matured\, such as the level of crew safety required.\nThrough a hazard control process assessment\, several risk mitigation strategies may be found suitable to achieve both an acceptable level of crew safety and mission success. Such an assessment thus requires both: elaboration of a regulated safety assessment process\, that is shared and approved worldwide\, and definition of safety criteria that are required to fulfil the mission objectives\, and need to be approved by a Certification Authority.\nThe paper will evaluate existing standardized safety and regulatory processes that are in place for civil aviation\, which are largely accepted as being a premier example of industry safety standards\, and assess how it could be extrapolated and adapted to ensure similar safety standards in future human space exploration missions.\nThe civil aviation process presents commonalities in terms of methods for conducting a safety assessment\, that are expandable to space exploration. This paper describes the related transfer function from civil aviation to space exploration (ISS\, Moon and Mars) as a stepping stone to reach an international consensus to be targeted by the Space Agencies to ensure the crew a safe journey and return to Earth. \nAline Decadi is a Dependability and Safety engineer working on the development of the Launch System Ariane 6 at the European Space Agency. In addition\, she is involved in ESA Moon/Mars workshops and she volunteer on Mars analogue missions for the Mars Society. She is passionate by the human space exploration\, and works on the evolution of the crew safety criteria for future exploration missions.

SUMMARY:eSpace Webinar - Single band Nano-satellite Remote sensing: BGUSAT's challenges and opportunities\, by Shimrit Maman
DESCRIPTION:Nano satellites are a relatively new category in the field of satellite technologies and space science.\nIn the past years\, several Earth Observations (EO) missions using nano-satellites have been successfully launched and used\, forecasts for the upcoming years display an increase of such missions.\nBGUSAT is an example of such EO\remote sensing single band\, SWIR sensor via a spatial resolution of 600 meters per pixel.\nIn the seminar\, we intend to overview the satellite design and capabilities and to present the results of the ongoing remote sensing research. \nDr. Maman is a research associate in the Homeland Security Institute and director of the Earth and Planetary Image Facility (EPIF)\, both at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Her research deals with the application of satellite technologies (remote sensing and GIS) to environmental challenges and climate change. She is an integral part of the research team leading BGUSAT\, Israel’s first research nanosatellite.\nShe also serves as a UN-SPIDER expert\, and heads the Israeli Regional Support Office of the United Nations Platform for Space-based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response.\nPreviously she served as the board director of D-mars\, and is a founding board member of WiSpace\, a women’s association promoting gender equality among Israeli STEAM professionals and was appointed by UNOOSA as a mentor in the SPACE4WOMEN Network.\nMaman leads diverse education and outreach programs promoting Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics (STEAM)\, using hands-on research activities\, at both the national and international scales\, including the unique\, all-girl\, international remote sensing science program: She Space. \nQuote by Dr. Maman:\n“Although it is a vast\, icy void\, I think space holds unique opportunities for dreamers unafraid to boldly face meaningful challenges”.
