SUMMARY:MOXIE: Mars OXygen ISRU Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Operating on NASA’s Mars2020 Perseverance rover between February 2021 and September 2023\, the MOXIE experiment (Mars OXygen ISRU Experiment) produced oxygen at night and in the day during both the annual maximum and minimum atmospheric density periods\, as well as at many other times during the year. MOXIE is the first demonstration of the use of indigenous resources (ISRU = In Situ Resource Utilization) on the surface of another planet. This talk will present a summary of what MOXIE has accomplished\, with an emphasis on what has been learned from MOXIE about operating future solid oxide electrolysis systems on Mars. \nDr. Jeffrey Hoffman is a professor in MIT’s Aeronautics and Astronautics Department. He received a BA in Astronomy (summa cum laude) from Amherst College (1966); a PhD in Astrophysics from Harvard University (1971); and an MSc in Materials Science from Rice University (1988). As a NASA astronaut (1978-1997) he made five space flights\, becoming the first astronaut to log 1000 hours of flight time aboard the Space Shuttle. Dr. Hoffman was Payload Commander of STS-46\, the first flight of the US-Italian Tethered Satellite System. He has performed four spacewalks\, including the first unplanned\, contingency spacewalk in NASA’s history (STS 51D; April\, 1985) and the initial repair/rescue mission for the Hubble Space Telescope (STS 61; December\, 1993). As the Astronaut Office representative for EVA\, he helped develop and carry out tests of advanced high-pressure space suit designs and of new tools and procedures needed for the assembly of the International Space Station. Following his astronaut career\, Dr. Hoffman spent four years as NASA’s European Representative\, working at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. In August 2001\, Dr. Hoffman joined the MIT faculty\, where he teaches courses on space operations and space systems design. His primary research interests are in improving the technology of space suits and designing innovative space systems for human and robotic space exploration. Dr. Hoffman is director of the Massachusetts Space Grant Consortium\, responsible for space-related educational activities. He is Deputy Principal Investigator of the MOXIE experiment on NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance mission\, which for the first time has produced oxygen from extraterrestrial material\, a critical step in the future of human space exploration. In 2007\, Dr. Hoffman was elected to the US Astronaut Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:Dark Matter Day 2024 - Discover the Mysteries of the Universe and the Brain
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Dark Matter Day 2024\, join us at the Science Gateway on 31 October at 7.30 p.m for an immersive evening that will take you on a journey from cosmology and particle physics to neurosciences \nThe most important things are invisible to the naked eye… Did you know that only 5% of the Universe is accessible to us\, the other 95% of it being mysteriously dark and\, dare we say… invisible? \nDiscover evidence of the existence of dark matter in the Universe\, presented by Camille Bonvin\, Associated Professor in Cosmology of the University of Geneva\, such as the rotation of galaxies and the existence of gravitational lenses. \nDive into the world of particle physics alongside three young CERN researchers. Through three fun and interactive pitches inspired by experiments involving MADMAX (Yoann Kermaïdic)\, ATLAS (Baptiste Ravina) and AMS (Erwan Robyn)\, they will all\, each in their own way\, defend their method for exploring this mysterious dark matter. The public will have the chance to vote for the most convincing pitch – who will win? \nEven more amazing is that you will discover how the examination of neurons in our brain resembles the quest for dark matter particles and that there are similarities between these two mysterious worlds\, thanks to a presentation by Denis Jabaudon\, Director of the department of fundamental neurosciences\, University of Geneva. \nJoin us for an evening that promises to stretch the limits of your knowledge and feed your curiosity! \nLanguage: French (with simultaneous interpretation into English). \nThe doors will open at 7pm. \nFree event\, registration required. \n			\n							Register

SUMMARY:La Chine sur Mars: la mission habitée qu'elle prépare\, par Par Philippe Coué (Académie Internationale d’Astronautique)
DESCRIPTION:Depuis le début du XXIe siècle\, la Chine a beaucoup progressé avec son programme de vol spatial habité. Elle exploite aujourd’hui une station spatiale (Tiangong-3) qui est occupée en permanence. Avant la fin de cette décennie\, la Chine enverra des taïkonautes sur la Lune ; des missions courtes précéderont\, en principe\, la construction d’une base permanente. Cette infrastructure servira de « tremplin » à des expéditions plus lointaines\, c’est-à-dire à des vols habités vers Mars. Cet objectif est devenu officiel en 2021 et semble avoir pris davantage de consistance depuis qu’Elon Musk aux Etats-Unis ne fait qu’en parler\, et fait suivre ses paroles par des actes.

SUMMARY:Non-Volatile Photonics for Zero-Energy Programmable Optical Networks
DESCRIPTION:Programmable Photonic Integrated Circuits provide mutability and versatility to optical networks. The ability to implement non-volatile mechanisms onto a standard platform is instrumental in providing zero-energy consumption during the exploitation of a programmed configuration. In this talk\, we will see the advancements and challenges of two of the most advanced strategies of endowing the highly standardized silicon photonic platform with non-volatility: Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Phase Change Materials (PCM). We will see the work performed at EPFL in order to mature these two technologies with a focus on scalable fabrication. \nHernán Furci is a scientist in Photonics and Nanotechnologies at EPFL. With early career background in Nuclear Engineering and Heat Transfer\, he completed a PhD in Low Temperature Applied Physics at the University of Paris-Saclay in 2015. Subsequently\, he joined CERN\, where he developed micro-engineered superconducting thin film thermometry for sub-2K superfluid helium systems. His passion for microfabrication led him to joining Prof. Quack’s Photonics Group at EPFL in 2019. Since then\, he has conducted research and development in nanotechnology\, both in the fields of superconducting thin film sensors (SNF Ambizione grant) and integrated photonics (ESA-funded projects). The latter research targets the seamless integration with high-volume-compatible fabrication techniques of non-volatile mechanisms onto standard photonic platforms\, aiming at offering a landscape of ultra-low power programmable photonics.

SUMMARY:La durabilité spatiale – état des lieux et projets en cours à l’EPFL
DESCRIPTION:Pas un jour ne passe sans que nous utilisions les données spatiales : navigation\, prévisions météo\, et de plus en plus télécommunications\, surveillance\, observation du climat. Depuis quelques années\, l’accès à l’espace est de moins en moins cher\, le nombre de lancements et de satellites en orbite augmente de façon exponentiel. Avec cela\, les risques de collisions et explosions en orbite doivent être anticipés et gérés. Toutes ces activités induisent aussi plus d’impacts sur Terre\, y compris sur le dérèglement climatique.\nEn Août 2024\, un satellite de la constellation Starlink s’est désintégré après être réentré dans l’atmosphère après seulement 3 ans de vie\, et a été visible depuis le sol en Suisse. Cet exemple pose des questions sur la congestion des orbites terrestres\, les stratégies pour réduire les risques de débris spatiaux\, et les impacts (atmosphériques) du secteur spatial.\nLe centre spatial de l’EPFL conduit plusieurs projets couvrant la problématique des débris\, et des impacts environnementaux du secteur. Pour unifier les efforts du centre dans ce thème\, le Sustainable Space Hub (SSH) a été créer en 2023. Le hub connecte des projets individuels autour de trois piliers : mesurer\, comprendre\, agir. Cela inclut des projets d’analyse cycle de vie et éco-conception des futures systèmes spatiaux\, d’observation et caractérisation de la population des débris\, ou de soutien aux missions d’enlèvement de débris (active débris removal). Le centre mène aussi plusieurs initiatives\, par exemple pour un ciel non pollué pour les astronomes (dark and quiet skies)\, et conseille les politiques sur le sujet.\nAyant grandi à Villeneuve et avec de la famille originaire de Monthey\, Mathieu Udriot est très lié à la région du Chablais. Il est ingénieur systèmes au Space Center de l’EPFL depuis la fin de sa thèse de master à l’EPFL et participe activement à des projets de recherche pour l’ESA\, développant des outils logiciels pour une logistique spatiale durable. Il contribue également aux efforts éducatifs du Centre\, en enseignant l’ingénierie spatiale au niveau master et en dispensant des formations sur la durabilité de l’espace à des professionnels.\nEn dehors de ses engagements professionnels\, Mathieu est un des points de contact nationaux pour le Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) et est pompier volontaire.

SUMMARY:La Chine sur Mars: la mission habitée qu'elle prépare\, par Par Philippe Coué (Académie Internationale d’Astronautique)
DESCRIPTION:Depuis le début du XXIe siècle\, la Chine a beaucoup progressé avec son programme de vol spatial habité. Elle exploite aujourd’hui une station spatiale (Tiangong-3) qui est occupée en permanence. Avant la fin de cette décennie\, la Chine enverra des taïkonautes sur la Lune ; des missions courtes précéderont\, en principe\, la construction d’une base permanente. Cette infrastructure servira de « tremplin » à des expéditions plus lointaines\, c’est-à-dire à des vols habités vers Mars. Cet objectif est devenu officiel en 2021 et semble avoir pris davantage de consistance depuis qu’Elon Musk aux Etats-Unis ne fait qu’en parler\, et fait suivre ses paroles par des actes. Le dernier en date est la récupération spectaculaire sur le pas de tir du premier étage de son lanceur géant Starship\, au mois d’octobre 2024. \nNous présenterons lors de cette intervention\, pour la première fois\, ce qui a pu être détecté au sujet de la version chinoise de l’Homme sur Mars et nous expliquerons pourquoi cet objectif est suivi.

SUMMARY:Towards a Sustainable Space: Addressing the Challenges of the Final Frontier
DESCRIPTION:View Slides\n		\n			\nSustainability Series with Christophe Bonnal\, Space Debris and Launcher Expert\, MaiaSpace \nSummary of his talk: “Anything that goes up will eventually come down… In the case of launchers and satellites in Low Earth Orbit\, this means returning to Earth through an atmospheric reentry at very high velocity. This generates high heat fluxes\, partially ‘melting’ the objects. Typically\, about 20% survive reentry and pose a risk to people on the ground; however\, the remaining 80% will stay in the upper atmosphere for some time\, leading to unwanted disruptions to the ozone layer and contributing to greenhouse gas effects. How can we solve this dilemma-putting people at risk or damaging the atmosphere?” \nProgramme \n06:00pm: Doors open \n06:30pm: Welcome address by Emmanuelle David\, Executive Director\, EPFL Space Center \n06:40pm: Presentation by Christophe Bonnal \n07:10pm: Round table moderated by the Science Journalist Olivier Dessibourg with: \n\nChristophe Bonnal\nDr Susmita Mohanty\nSpaceship Designer\, Serial Space Entrepreneur and Climate Action Advocate\nProf. Athanasios Nenes\nFull Professor\, Laboratory of Atmospheric Processes and their Impacts\, EPFL\nLiesbeth Casier\nLead\, Public Procurement and Sustainable Infrastructure and Coordinator of the NBI Global Resource Centre at the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).\n\n07:40pm: Q&A moderated by Olivier Dessibourg \n8:00pm: Aperitif networking \n			\n							Register here (free)
