Article: Space research – by G. Sashank Space research is scientific study carried out in outer space, and by studying outer space. From the use of space technology to the observable universe, space research is a wide research field. Earth science, materials science, biology, medicine, and physics all apply to the space research environment. Space research is scientific study carried out in outer space, and by studying outer space. From the use of space technology to the observable universe, space research is a wide research field. Earth science, materials science, biology, medicine, and physics all apply to the space research environment. The term includes scientific payloads at any altitude from deep space to low Earth orbit, extended to include sounding rocket research in the upper atmosphere, and high-altitude balloons. Space exploration is also a form of space research. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinking #snsdesignthinkers

"What's past, present & future of space science? & why should we invest in it? In this talk, Professor Anu Ojha OBE from UK Space Agency explores discoveries made through applications of space science, climate change,& engineering & how they have changed humanity's perspectives of our position in universe, & ask what difference space, science & technology have made to our everyday lives. Has it been worth all money spent when facing so many challenges here on Earth? What science was British astronaut Tim Peake doing on the International Space Station (ISS) during his six-month mission there from 2015 to 2016? And will Mars ever be a home for the human race?" THE ROYAL INSTITUTION in collaboration with the UK Space Agency. 00:00 Space – so what? 4:38 A demonstration of how rocket propulsion works 11:27 The largest rockets used in space 14:20 The three types of space science 15:13 Astronomy – the Hubble and JWST 18:41 Space exploration 28:33 How to keep humans alive in space 35:13 Looking at an astronaut’s pressure suit 38:29 Exploration with robotic systems 41:54 Using thermal infrared cameras to look at Earth 46:54 How space affects our lives 50:27 What’s the future of space science? 53:21 The challenges of orbital collisions and space debris 56:09 Space is becoming more competitive 57:44 The story of Mars 1:04:15 Why space science matters 1:07:15 The international future of space exploration

Research in Biological and Physical Sciences in Space (BPS) has enabled the U.S. to be a trailblazer for #SpaceExploration, expanding our reach into near and far space exploration and helping society.

# Artificial Satellites and Space Science Since the launch of the first artificial satellite in October 1957, humanity has entered the space age. At that time, humans had very little understanding of space, such as the environment outside the ionosphere and how particles of solar radiation moved after reaching Earth's space. Therefore, a new discipline of direct research on space emerged, known as Space Research. In 1958, at the initiative of two major aerospace powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as some Western countries, the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) established a special committee to address this new research field that was not covered by all disciplinary alliances at the time. This is the only international organization in the field of space science, the International Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).

Space Debris are a threat to space activities, so how can we improve their detection? Details can be found in this paper published in the Advances in Space Research. Free to read for 3 months starting today: https://lnkd.in/gXM8Ucvv

This summer I attended the International Space University’s Space Studies Program (SSP) in São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil. In Phase 1, I attended 55 lectures on topics ranging from Space Medicine to Space Law and Planetary Science. Some of the classes were very U.S.-centric and I learned quickly that I had to answer what we learned in class and not what I knew from experience. The other secret to score high in the quiz was to think back at the class, what the lecturer would have wanted you to select, when stuck between two multiple choice answers. Using these 2 tips and a lot of Kahoot practice, I managed to get all answers right in the final quiz. There were also 2 essays to test our interdisciplinary knowledge from the mentioned 55 lectures. During phase 2- I was in the Space Application's team. This was an incredible experience under the leadership of the new ISU dean Su-Yin Tan. There were many interesting site visits including one to the OneWeb earth station in Rio de Janeiro. This was interesting as I was the Program Director at CGI for OneWeb before I started the SSP. My personal paper was on the use of Satellite-Controlled Autonomous UAVs for Natural Disaster Response. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. During phase 3- I had the honor of leading a team project (TP) with two other team leads. Our Smart City TP chairs were Remco Timmermans and Kleber Naccarato. We led an interdisciplinary team of 21 on a research report From Slums to Smart Cities: Bringing space-based technology to favelas in Latin America: Pathways to Smart and Inclusive Development The feedback from experts on our report was incredible and we plan to publish the results in conferences and journals. At graduation, it was announced that I received the highest academic average in the program. There will be another post on this. https://lnkd.in/dzmFyMHt Thank you to everyone at SSP23 for this experience. Thank you UK Space Agency and European Space Agency - ESA for the scholarship.

Here is a great write-up from SpaceChatter on our new paper confirming two new exoplanets and including citizen scientists and high school students in the work. https://lnkd.in/grh2h9zd

Georgia State professor granted $5 million to identify and characterize objects in space, Atlanta GA (SPX) Dec 05, 2023 Georgia State Professor of Physics and Astronomy Stuart Jefferies has been awarded a $5 million, multi-institutional grant by the U.S. Air Force to develop techniques to detect, map and image faint objects in space. The work could have far-reaching impacts, including strengthening national security in an increasingly congested space domain. The work will also advance the next generation
