SUMMARY:Commons in Space 2023
DESCRIPTION:This conference aims to bring together scholars and practitioners on the commons in space. The increasing dependence of our societies on space infrastructures (GPS\, remote sensing\, internet access\, etc.) and the potential mining of rare minerals for energy transitions are causing new sustainability challenges due to the lack of governance of human activities in outer space. \nTopics such as space debris and congesting orbital space due to increasing satellites\, mining of celestial bodies\, protection of dark night sky\, utilization of different space resources in our solar system\, and earth-space sustainability challenges will be covered. The increasing number of private and state actors involved in space exploration and the utilization of Earth’s orbit without a clear governance framework points to an urgent need to debate governance solutions. \nWith rapid technological innovation and space commercialization\, how can existing studies on the governance of global commons consider the steering power of non-state actors\, industries and sectors? As a virtual conference organized by the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC)\, we will facilitate a discussion between space scholars and scholars studying more traditional commons. What are the challenges ahead as humanity has to increasingly ensure earth-space sustainability? Importantly\, how can commons scholarship provide models for diverse stakeholder groups to have agency and voice as humanity rapidly expands their activities on the Moon\, Mars\, and beyond? \n			\n							REGISTER

SUMMARY:Information Session: Space Sustainability Continuing Education Course
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 28 for an Informational Session on our upcoming continuing education course\, Space Sustainability: How to design more sustainable missions? \nThis session will provide a high-level overview of what Space Sustainability means: understand how can we secure the long-term usability of space and\, how can we design and operate missions and space businesses with a keen focus on sustainability. \nTarget audience: Space stakeholders (engineers\, scientists\, non technical managers\, policy practitioners etc)\, active in space agencies\, aerospace industries or related fields and concerned about preserving the sustainability and safety of the space environment in the long-term \n REGISTER  \nIn recent years\, the exponential growth of spatial activities\, driven in part by theexpanding commercial use of space\, has yielded promising business opportunities.However\, this expansion has also left behind a significant challenge – an ever-increasing population of space debris\, with over 28\,000 objects currently observablein Earth’s orbit. How can we secure the long-term usability of space and designspace businesses and missions with a focus on sustainability? \nSpace Sustainability is a new EPFL short program designed to: \nUnderstand what space sustainability means (from historical\, geopolitical\,economic\, societal\, and environmental perspectives) and how to measure it \nExplore tools and methodologies for developing more sustainable spacemissions (ESA’s MASTER and DRAMA suite\, Space Sustainability Rating\, LifeCycle Assessment & Environmental Impact Assessment\, etc.) \nInteract with the most recent research developments and explore the potentialadvantages of incorporating Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies within the space sector \nThis course is organized by EPFL Space Center (eSpace)\, EPFL (Swiss FederalInstitute of Technology in Lausanne) in collaboration with International Space University (ISU)\, IMS Space Consultancy and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).The program is designed for individuals engaged in space-related roles (engineers\, scientists\, non-technical managers\, policy practitioners\, etc.) and whoshare a common focus on ensuring the long-term sustainability and safety of thespace environment. \nThis course will take place March 19-21\, 2024. \n Course information & registration

SUMMARY:The European Aerospace Sector: Perspectives from the industry\, academia and the public sector
DESCRIPTION:The aerospace industry in Europe is growing to meet a new demand for services in connection to Space\, be it analytics rendered from data collected by satellites in orbit\, transporting cargo beyond the atmosphere or building the necessary equipment or instruments to carry out experiments or tasks in Space. Switzerland and Spain\, both members of the European Space Agency (ESA)\, can create interesting synergies to design and produce new systems that can compete in this new environment. \nIsabel PÉREZ GRANDE\nHead of the Directorate for Science\, Technology and Innovation at the Spanish Space Agency. \nDeputy Director of Research and doctoral studies at ETSI Aeronáutica y del Espacio (Higher Technical School of Aeronautics and Space of the Madrid Technical University) \nDoctor in Aerospace engineering (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid). \n \nMrs. Pérez Grande has been teaching and researching at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Madrid Technical University) since 1994. Currently\, she is a Professor at the Fluid mechanics and aerospace propulsion department. She carries out her research at the Ignacio Da Riva Microgravity Institute\, where she heads the Aerospace development and testing research group since 2005. Her research focuses on heat transfer\, thermal design and thermal control of space systems. She has contributed to the design of numerous onboard instruments such as NOMAD in ExoMars 2016 (ESA)\, Sunrise I and II\, SO/PHI and EPD in Solar Orbiter (ESA)\, as well as TIRS and ATS in MEDA in Mars 2020 (NASA). \nShe served as member of ESA’s Physical Sciences Working Group (2013-2017) and ESA’s Human Spaceflight and Exploration Science Advisory Committee (2015-2017). \nMiguel BELLÓ MORA\nDirector of the Spanish Space Agency (since April 20\, 2023) \nDoctor in Aerospace engineering (Technische Universität Braunschweig).
