SUMMARY:Art-Themed Virtual Reality for Mitigating Isolation on Long-Duration Space Missions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe space industry presents new challenges with the involvement of diverse individuals\, particularly concerning extended isolation. Reports from astronauts and studies during analogue missions highlight isolation as a significant stressor\, intensified during long missions like those to Mars. Hence\, exploring restorative stimuli is vital to alleviate psychosocial stressors that could affect mission success. In September 2023\, the World Health Organization\, with the Jameel Arts & Health Lab\, emphasized the transformative role of arts in advancing well-being. This presentation discusses how art can enhance the health and well-being of humans in space\, proposing a theoretical framework to integrate artistic content into Virtual Reality (VR) environments. These environments could aid isolated individuals\, including astronauts on long missions and people on Earth. While VR’s potential in mitigating isolation has been explored\, the incorporation of artistic content and its benefits remain understudied in scholarly articles. Grounded in art therapy and psychological theories like Attention Restoration Theory (ART)\,  the paper addresses conceptual and practical bases and presents creative explorations for developing artistic VR experiments by drawing inspiration from the natural world and abstract art to be evaluated in space isolation and its analogous conditions. \n\n\nTjasa Savoric bio\nTjasa Savoric is a full-time PhD student at Deakin University (Australia) and Coventry University (United Kingdom). Her research interests lie at the intersection of art history\, digital humanities\, human-centred design\, XR (Extended Reality)\, and serious game design. She earned her Master’s degree in 2017 with distinction in Art History and Philosophy from the University of Maribor\, Slovenia. Tjasa combines her expertise in cultural heritage and art history with XR technology to explore new avenues for communicating art and its benefits in promoting wellbeing. In her PhD thesis\, she is investigating the potential of virtual reality in addressing psychological challenges associated with isolation\, with a particular focus on individuals in the ICU (Intensive Care Units) and analogue astronauts. \nKaja Antlej bio\nDr Kaja Antlej is Senior Lecturer in Industrial Design and Researcher at the CADET Virtual Reality Training and Simulation Research Lab\, School of Engineering\, Deakin University\, Australia. Her research interests lie in the intersection between human-centered design\, extended reality\, human space exploration\, futures thinking\, well-being\, digital heritage and virtual museums. Kaja obtained her BSc/MSc (2008) in Industrial Design and a PhD (2013) in Museum and Heritage Studies\, both from the University of Ljubljana. She is also an alumna of the International Space University (2021). Dr Antlej is the Chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Melbourne Section and an Expert Member of the Committee for the Cultural Utilisation of Space (ITACCUS)\, a technical committee of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/live/clcfEENsFU8\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1603120973865098/

SUMMARY:The Nutshell Kings: Roots of Resistance to Human Space Exploration and Settlement - Milan M. Ćirković
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWe should face the fact that in promoting a vision of human space exploration and settlement we face not only natural obstacles and technological challenges\, but also active human resistance. Recent years have seen both a revival of space programs\, mostly propelled by private industry’s increasing interest\, and the (re)emergence of strong resistance to human space activities on several levels. This is partly a manifestation of a wider counter-Enlightenment Zeitgeist\, as detectable in other sectors of public life in the West\, and partly a reaction against the widespread engagement of the private sector. While it still does not dominate the discourse on space issues\, space scepticism/space resistance is surprisingly wide-ranging and decentralized phenomenon\, gathering together such heterogeneous strands of thought from anti-Enlightenment postmodernists and critical constructivists to rabid “deep ecology” activists to philosophical pessimists/nihilists to antiglobalist activists of all colours. There has been precious little in way of actively opposing this cultural trend so far\, however. The present talk will review major strands of thought within this “big tent” cultural movement and offer a taxonomy of their ideological roots. Some suggestions as to the important cultural\, educational and public-outreach work which needs to be done to balance the scales as given as well.\nKeywords: #spaceexploration\, #spacesettlement\, #geocentrism\, #antiliberalism\, #STEMeducation\, #publicoutreach \n\n\nMilan M. Ćirković\, a short bio\nMilan M. Ćirković is a senior Research Professor at the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade (Serbia) and a research associate of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University\, Oxford (UK). He obtained his PhD at the Dept. of Physics\, State University of New York in Stony Brook in 2000 with the thesis in astrophysical cosmology. His primary research interests are in the fields of astrobiology (habitable zones\, habitability of galaxies\, SETI studies)\, philosophy of science (futures studies\, philosophy of cosmology)\, and risk analysis (global catastrophes\, observation selection effects\, epistemology of risk). He co-edited the widely-cited anthology on Global Catastrophic Risks (Oxford University Press\, 2008\, with Nick Bostrom)\, wrote four research monographs (the latest being Cosmic Microwave Background: Philosophical and Historical Aspects\, Cambridge University Press\, Cambridge\, 2024\, with S. Perović)\, as well as five popular science/general nonfiction books\, and authored about 200 research and professional papers. He is currently working on The Terrors of the Earth: Why We Ought to Leave this Planet – and Soon\, to be published in 2025 by Penguin Random House. \nMilan M.

SUMMARY:The Urgency of Large-Scale Space Migration (LSSM) - Frank White
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIt doesn’t take a rocket scientist to let us know that Spaceship Earth is in deep trouble. \nHumanity is operating as if we did not live on a finite planet with limited resources and a fragile ecosystem. Beyond our blindness to the interconnected nature of everything on Earth\, we are using our intelligence to create weapons with which to kill other crew members of our spaceship! It’s all because of our obsession with borders and boundaries that the experience of the Overview Effect reveals to be an illusion. \nWe must urgently provide as many people as possible with the transformational impact of the Overview Effect so that they will wake up from their dream about reality and see for themselves what is actually real. \nThen\, we must begin to create the infrastructure for Large-Scale Space Migration (LSSM)\, so that as many people and as much industry as possible can move off of the Earth and give the planet a chance to recover from our destructive behavior. \nFor this enormous “central project\,” we do need rocket scientists! \n\n\nBiography\nFrank White has authored or coauthored numerous books on topics ranging from space exploration to climate change to artificial intelligence. His best-known work\, “The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution\,” is considered by many to be a seminal work in the field of space exploration. A film called “Overview\,” based largely on his work\, has had more than 8 million plays on Vimeo. White considers himself to be a “space philosopher\,” and has long advocated developing a new philosophy of space exploration. His book on this topic\, “The Cosma Hypothesis: Implications of the Overview Effect\,” asks the fundamental question\, “What is the purpose of human space exploration? Why has the evolutionary process brought humanity to the brink of becoming a spacefaring species?” In the book\, he shares the idea of “the Human Space Program” as a “central project” that will engage all of us in the process of becoming “Citizens of the Universe.” \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/0wZfwZBplyI\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/309950342024357/

SUMMARY:The contribution of humanities and social sciences to space exploration - Remo Rapetti
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIt is a common opinion that space exploration is a matter that exclusively involves science and technology. Certainly the exploits of Gagarin or Apollo 11\, the missions of the Shuttle\, Mir or the ISS\, to mention only the milestones of these first 50 years\, were made possible by an amazing leap forward in mathematics\, physics\, medicine\, engineering\, etc. Even the most evident repercussions on our daily lives fall exactly within this scientific-technological area\, with an unexpected improvement in our existence\, which now has fundamental tools for medical research\, telecommunications\, mobility\, etc. But when the human being is involved\, things cannot be considered only in the “arid” light of science because human behavior always implicates the humanities and social disciplines\, i.e. philosophy\, literature\, art\, psychology\, sociology\, and even archeology. In my speech\, therefore\, I intend to underline the essential role that some of these disciplines have had in launching\, promoting and realizing the huge enterprises that have opened the door to the Moon\, Mars and deep space. \n\n \n\nBiography\nRemo Rapetti\, after a long career as director of Italian Cultural Institutes abroad\, continued his activity as a cultural promoter and a consultant. He has been the curator of many exhibitions that have been presented in Italy and abroad. For years he was a consultant for international relations of NABA (New Academy of Fine Arts in Milan) and of the Futurarium Association. Since its foundation\, he has been the coordinator of the Cultural Considerations Working Group of the Moon Village Association and has contributed to defining the cultural path of the group and to the organization of many webinars with the aim of deepening the various cultural themes related to space exploration. He has published articles\, translations and critical introductions to books and catalogues. Recently\, he has also contributed to the bimonthly Italian magazine Coelum Astronomia. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/oWv9CFEYUJs\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/204322058879226/

SUMMARY:Orbital Farm\, De-Risking Large Scale Life Support Systems for Space Settlements
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nJoin us on November 6th at 3:00 PM Eastern Time for a one-hour presentation on large scale life support systems. Explore the current state of space technologies and their potential applications\, both in space and here on Earth. Discover how these innovations are shaping the decades to come of human space exploration\, from lunar missions to beyond. Uncover the challenges and gaps we must address\, including issues of partial gravity\, radiation\, and global food production protocols. Our objective is to inform\, inspire\, and call for greater investment and research in large scale life support systems. We aim to foster a deep understanding of the potential these innovations hold for the future of space and our home planet. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of the conversation that could shape the future. Join us on November 6th and be a part of the movement to support Orbital Farm’s groundbreaking work. \nAn essential bio\nScot Bryson spent his life and career as problem solver. From picking stones and baling hay in farm fields\, frankensteining rotary engine cars in garages\, to becoming an entrepreneur at 22 and building a multi-million dollar advertising agency over a decade. After selling the business to a New York holding company and joining the M&A team\, he helped to acquire 19 companies in a 3-year period. Scot continued building a few more companies\, advising investors\, and mentoring students and entrepreneurs but soon realized that there are bigger challenges the world needs solving like Climate Change\, World Hunger\, and a healthier planet. He decided that he could make a bigger contribution to the world and started by assisting to commercialize and scale a novel biotechnology company. Through this experience\, he realized the need for a circular project development company. A company that can rapidly build large-scale novel technology projects that make an impact in the world. That has the ability to rapidly finance and deploy these projects all around the world because there are 821M+ people starving every day and the climate is changing faster than we can imagine. By selecting the right technologies we can build closed-loop farms to grow food anywhere on Earth today and even in space tomorrow. The best thing is that these technologies already exist around the planet. They just needed the right vision\, and ability to fund it. Scot started Orbital Farm in 2018\, and the company is now in the process of building closed-loop systems that can produce vaccines and medicines for billions\, hydrogen energy\, and food production all around the world from water\, CO2\, and electricity. Orbital Farm will build 200 circular megaprojects around the planet to support and feed billions of people here on Earth today\, and spend the next 20 years prototyping and developing the technology to feed people in space. \nLinks\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://youtube.com/live/mRu7mJ8wf9o\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/767981972006394/

SUMMARY:SR Academy Space Habitats Committee Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract – AGOS \nLiving in space in a zero- or low-gravity environment like the Moon or Mars causes danger to human health\, such as bone demineralization or muscle atrophy. In the long run space habitats need gravity simulation by rotating around their main axis. The AGOS (Artificial Gravity Orbital Station) project was designed as a rotating space station and a possible successor of the present ISS. The station is built of cylindrical modules and a structural framework. SpaceX Falcon launchers are proposed to transport the modules to Low Earth Orbit. The initial stage 1 of AGOS has a mass of 270 metric tons and a diameter of 102 meters. 24 crew members can live and work in a 0.9 g environment. In the far future\, Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) can be mined to utilize their mineral resources. When the mining process is finished\, we can build a rotating habitat inside a hollow asteroid. As an example\, we have taken the asteroid 2008EV5 with a diameter of approx. 450 meters. A toroidal structure of 240 m diameter is rotating inside the asteroid´s hull. The stony hull provides shelter against radiation and meteorites. 2\,000 inhabitants can live on the inner surface of the torus. Nutrition is provided by vertical farming and aquaculture. In the coming centuries\, we can utilize about 10\,000 NEAs for mining and use some hundreds of them to carry human habitats. \nAn essential bio: Werner Grandl \nWeerner graduated at the Technical University of Vienna in 1984\, as architect and civil engineer. He published several papers on studies for space stations and space colonies\, utilization of lunar and asteroid resource. \nAbstract – The Development of Island Zero  \nIn the early 1970s\, Gerard O’Neil and others developed plans for a large habitat to be constructed in free space that could house 10\,000 people. The design – known as Island One – was deliberately restricted to the technology of the time\, so that no-one could suggest that it was fantasy due to requiring materials that had not been invented. However\, during the next 40 years there had been all kinds of improvements in materials science\, engineering\, and other areas that could make this program more efficient\, so I ran a project at the British Interplanetary Society to re-examine and update the original studies. Construction would not begin with Island One; we’d need to establish a much smaller structure first\, to house the personnel that will assemble the facilities for construction. This would demonstrate many of the features of a full settlement but on a much smaller scale\, both in size and cost\, as a way of showing the viability of some of the ideas behind space habitation. We designated the initial unit as “Island Zero”. \nAn essential bio: Jerry Stone \nI am a Freelance Space Presenter; I run Spaceflight UK and give presentations on a range of topics on astronomy and space exploration all over the UK and abroad. I am a fellow of the British Interplanetary Society and the Royal Astronomical Society.  I am also a member of the Board of the Space Renaissance International\, and the chair of the Space Habitats Committee. I ran a project at the British Interplanetary Society to re-examine and update the original space habitat studies. This became the SPACE Project – Study Project Advancing Colony Engineering\, which also resulted in a new design for what we called “Island Zero”\, as described above. \nLinks\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/V_YKlk9UFIc \nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/859920138879661/

SUMMARY:Spartan Space – a European habitat for the Moon – and how those can help to address challenges on planet Earth
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe ARTEMIS programme will open a new era of space exploration and a beginning of a sustainable presence and exploration of the lunar surface. The Moon is not ‘a’ steppingstone towards Mars\, it is ‘the’ steppingstone. The target of these missions is the lunar South Pole due to strategic resources that will be needed to set up a sustainable presence on the Moon’s surface and to prepare towards destinations such as planet Mars. But one must understand that the region of interest has approximately the size of the city of Paris\, so it will be crowed up there.\nDr. Peter Weiss will present ARTEMIS not only from a European perspective but also from the point of view of one of the start-ups in Europe’s space sector that are targeting the Moon. What could be a European contribution to ARTEMIS\, complementary to the US ARTEMIS program ?\nSPARTAN SPACE from Marseille\, France works with its industrial and agency partners in Europe on the development of a secondary habitat “EUROHAB” which can be brought to the lunar surface by European capacities. It can serve as base camp for extended extravehicular activities of ARTEMIS’ crews and might become a rallying point between different robotic and human missions.\nDr. Weiss will present this concept and illustrate its development since 2021 by SPARTAN SPACE. He will also show the industrial challenge and its business model which is based on the return of technologies to terrestrial applications: Technologies that can serve to sustain astronauts on the lunar surface can help to reduce some of the challenges on planet Earth: Energy Management\, Water Recycling and CO2 reduction are some key functionalities which are integrated in EUROHAB. Similar technologies can also be implemented in normal households in the future to reduce the impact on the planet. The development of technology for human space exploration can also come to the help of our terrestrial challenges. \nA short bio\nDr. Peter WEISS is Founder and CEO of SPARTAN SPACE Marseille\, France. Peter has more than 20 years of experience in the management of industrial and research projects in the maritime and space sector. He is the Founder and CEO of SPARTAN-SPACE\, a start-up company specializing on the development of underwater and space habitats and platforms. SPARTAN SPACE is involved in the development of the European modules for the GATEWAY and develops\, under CNES contract\, a concept of a secondary habitat for the lunar surface (EUROHAB). SPARTAN SPACE is part of the selection of start-ups in the TECHNTHEMOON initiative by CNES. The start-up company is also involved in several underwater habitat developments. During his career he tries to combine his passion for space and the oceans. Peter worked at the DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen\, Germany\, on a motor drive of a lightweight robot arm\, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston\, USA\, on the development of artificial muscles for self-transforming robotic planetary explorers\, at Cybernetix in Marseille\, France\, as Project Manager for European Commission on underwater robotics and AUV\, at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on a robotic microgravity sampling device for the PHOBOS-GRUNT mission and for over ten years as Director of the Space Department and Company Board member of COMEX in Marseille\, France in underwater space simulations and astronaut training. He was Co-Founder and President until 2016 of POWERSEA\, a start-up company for the development of connectors for marine renewables. Peter was awarded in the APOPHIS MISSION DESIGN COMPETITION\, organized by NASA\, ESA and the PLANETARY SOCIETY. He received the French Medal of Internal Security for the intervention and psychological support of the families of the Germanwings airplane crash in 2015 (as member of the French Red Cross)\, the OCEANS X SPACE Business Applications Competition prize by European Space Agency in 2018 and a special mention by the Concours Jacques Rougerie International Architecture and Arts prizes in 2020 for the EUROHAB concept. \nLinks\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/bhgitVP2DuY\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1665459473936156

SUMMARY:Ethereal Geometry Arts\, with Chris Wade
DESCRIPTION:Rocket City-native Chris Wade is a scifi / fantasy artist who describes his art as “ethereal with a whimsical and dark surreal style\,” often pulling inspiration from the world he experiences in dreams. His work explores ethereal internal landscapes featuring abandoned Space Age machinery presented in a dystopian\, yet dreamy aesthetic\, with the goal of evoking a childlike wonder and feeling of adventure in his works. He has also become known for his hilarious spacey pet portraits and the randomness of his weird creatures. He primarily works in acrylic ink and graphite\, painting on watercolor and riveted sheet metal. He is an award-winning\, published artist\, and a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists. His work serves as commentary on our internal condition\, both individually and collectively\, as well as a rediscovery of our childlike nature and true potential.\nYou can find him at Lowe Mill Arts&Entertainment in studio 2048\, and https://etherealgeometryarts.com/\n\nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/rOSnCxKlkwI\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/966348771328695

SUMMARY:Recognizing and Protecting the History of Humans in Space - Michelle Hanlon
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nHeritage is an evolving resource that supports identity\, memory and sense of place and has a crucial role in achieving sustainable development. Humanity has a common responsibility to the past – to protect it so that we may move forward to the future in unity.\nUnfortunately\, historic sites\, our heritage\, in outer space – and particularly on the Moon – are distressingly vulnerable to damage\, whether intentional or inadvertent. And yet\, they enjoy no legal protection or even recognition. The treaty regime guiding outer space activities is silent with respect to the management\, conservation and preservation of our human and cultural heritage in outer space. Indeed\, not only do the treaties provide little clarity\, their provisions raise more questions than they address. As a practical matter\, this means there is nothing to stop anyone or any rover from destroying the still preserved bootprints left by Neil and Buzz at Tranquility Base\, or any robotic lunar landing sites. It is an unfortunate state of affairs in particular because there is little doubt humanity is headed back to the Moon.\nBut we have an unprecedented opportunity. This is the first time in human history that we can preserve our human heritage before destruction or abuse. and embrace the fact that preservation is not antithetical to progress. It is a sign of progress.\nFor All Moonkind has started laying the groundwork for the development of an international system that preserves our heritage in space. This presentation will describe the steps taken nationally and internationally to protect cultural heritage in outer space and outline continuing efforts to assure this moment is not lost. \nAn essential bio\nMichelle L.D. Hanlon is Co-Director of the Air and Space Law Program at the University of Mississippi School of Law and its Center for Air and Space Law. She is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Space Law\, the world’s oldest law journal dedicated to the legal problems arising out of human activities in outer space and its sister publication\, the Journal of Drone Law and Policy. Michelle is a Co-Founder and President of For All Moonkind\, Inc.\, a nonprofit corporation that is the only organization in the world focused on protecting human cultural heritage in outer space. In this capacity\, she was instrumental in the development of the recently enacted One Small Step Act in the United States. For All Moonkind has been recognized by the United Nations as a Permanent Observer to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/IXx_BUh9hco\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/204291048909954/

SUMMARY:Greater Earth Energy Synergies
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIn the context of ESA’s open call for proposals “Clean Energy from Space” which sought novel ideas related to Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) systems\, Astrostrom GmbH has been investigating the feasibility of the “Greater Earth Lunar Power Station” (GE⊕-LPS) designed to provide power from space to operations on the lunar surface. This is a crewed facility in lunar orbit that will be constructed primarily from lunar materials. If shown to be both feasible and scalable\, manufacturing future Solar Power Satellite (SPS) components from lunar materials and transporting these to geostationary orbit (GEO)\, would be a means to avoid the need to launch hundreds or thousands of massive SPSs from the surface of the Earth in order to supply environmentally benign\, baseload electricity to Earth.  […] The GE⊕-LPS is a is a concept that advances lunar development in order to contribute to terrestrial energy production. The construction of GE⊕-LPS with lunar materials requires developing facilities on the Moon for automated mining and manufacturing processes. […] The establishment of industrial-scale beneficiation and processing plants will provide access to several materials\, which may become valuable to other users in the cislunar region. In addition to small amounts of Helium-3\, a vast amount of oxygen will be produced as a by-product which can be used in life support systems and as rocket propellant\, thereby creating business cases for new cislunar enterprises. GE⊕-LPS is being designed to provide plentiful electrical power for lunar activities; serve as a gateway between Earth and Moon operations; and be a prototype for future space settlements and tourism in cislunar space. As it is foreseen that the energy production functions of the GE⊕-LPS concept can be scaled to any dimension\, larger versions could be positioned in Earth orbit to provide much needed clean\, continuous solar electricity for terrestrial users. Driven by the ever-growing energy market on Earth\, a two-planets economic system will emerge\, which will dramatically lower the costs of transporting people and resources between LEO and the lunar surface\, and accelerate the growth of many new cislunar businesses. As such\, the GE⊕-LPS project unites the aims of lunar development with widely shared aspirations for expanded space activities\, while also addressing the critical energy and environmental needs of human civilization on Earth. \nShort bios\n\nArthur R.

SUMMARY:The Role of Space Habitat Technology in Developing Robust Sustainable Communities on Earth
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nAlthough most advocates of space settlement have focused on the potential value of natural resources and energy from space to nations on Earth the most important contribution will from the technology that will be developed to enable sustainable communities in space. The technologies necessary to create the closed cycle economy that is required for communities in space will result in the creation of similar closed cycle economies on Earth enabling humanity to increase its independence of the cycles of nature that have impacted societies throughout history. Remote work\, robotic mining\, controlled environment agriculture\, molecular agriculture\, resource recycling and additive manufacturing will transform the Earth’s economy far more that the actual import of resources and energy from space by enabling society to make more efficient use of Earth’s limited resources. The theme of building communities in space will accelerate the research and integration of these technologies to create a new economic revolution that will transform human society. This theme also has the potential to reinvigorate the increase students in STEM fields by providing them with a worthwhile goal they would be able to personality contribute to achieving. \n\nA short bio\nThomas Matula\, Ph.D. is a Professor of Business Administration at Sul Ross State University – Rio Grande College. A futurist\, Dr. Matula\, research focus has been on the economic history of humanity and its expansion into space. His most recent research has been on crafting strategies for developing sustainable space communities and their potential benefits to creating a sustainable economy on Earth. Dr. Matula earned his BGS in General Studies from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1983 and both an MBA and a Ph.D. in Business Administration from New Mexico State University. While at New Mexico State University\, Dr. Matula was part of the Southwest Regional Spaceport Task Force that created Spaceport America and used the research he conducted on the spaceport as his dissertation topic.

SUMMARY:Juice - Journey to Jupiter\, with Ulrich Köhler
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\n“We have a mission to Jupiter!” – Those were the words of Andrea Accomazzo\, flight director of the latest ESA mission after successful launch of the JUICE spacecraft on April 14th. The pre-last Ariane 5 rose and shot precisely through the clouds in Kourou and deployed JUICE in an orbit around the sun where it will be accelerated until 2029\, reaching Jupiter in 2031. Then the scientific mission will begin\, orbiting Jupiter and visiting its three icy moons Europa\, Ganymede\, and Callisto. 35 Flybys are planned\, 11 experiments will be performed\, 1.4 Gigabyte of data expected – each day at the flybys. Then follows the highlight of the JUICE mission\, when the craft will be entering orbit around Ganymede in 2034 – the first space probe to circle another planet’s satellite. One of the main goals of this outstanding mission will be confirming oceans under the surface of the big icy moons of Jupiter. What an exciting scientific journey! \nA short bio\nUlrich Köhler is a planetary geologist at DLR’s Institute of Planetary research in Berlin. He studied Geology in Munich and spent a year for his diploma thesis at Universidade Estadual Paulista\, Rio Claro (SP\, Brasil). At DLR he started 1991 with the analysis of multispectral imaging data from NASA’s Galileo probe passing the Moon twice and arriving 1995 at the Jovian system\, transmitting image data from the Galilean Satellites. 1999-2000 he was at Brown University (Providence\, RI) on a NASA grant. Returning to DLR\, besides the Moon his focus then was Mars where DLR has the famous High Resolution Stereo Camera in orbit on ESA’s Mars Express orbiter.

SUMMARY:Space Psychology & Human Factors - Celia Avila-Rauch
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPsychology is a science that studies the human mind and its functions\, primarily those that affect human behaviour. Psychology promotes productive and effective communication\, avoids unnecessary conflicts and regulates our mood\, motivation\, resilience and self-esteem. Psychology explores the concepts of perception\, attention\, emotion\, motivation\, brain functioning\, intelligence\, thinking\, personal relationships\, consciousness and unconsciousness. The importance of human adaptation to different environments has drawn the attention of psychologists to mental health and has led to the discovery of new areas of scientific research focused on the aerospace and aeronautical environment. \nSpace psychology refers to the application of psychology to evaluate human spaceflight. It includes the areas of industrial and organisational psychology to team selection\, individual and team mental preparedness\, team training\, ongoing psychological support\, and the application of human factors and ergonomics to spacecraft construction to ensure good habitability. Space psychology is focused on more than just pathology or dysfunctions but on personal development and optimisation of personal resources. We need to understand the psychological and social dimensions of space teams and where they will live during space missions. \nAnalog missions based on isolation habitats may provide information about how extreme environmental conditions and habitat design can affect our performance\, mental health\, and physiology. The members of the analogue mission have to deal with technologies\, ergonomics and communications. Cognitive and Emotional processes in high-performance teams refer to careers that require a high level of interaction with engineering and technology\, as well as with psychology and ergonomics\, physical and psychological changes due to the conditions they are subjected to (altitude\, pressures\, workload\, atmosphere) (Kanas et al.\, 2010). These adverse influences may negatively impact the performance of mission teams both on the ground and in flight. Every astronaut activity is aligned with national science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) standards. \nMissions represent a challenge but\, at the same time\, a high health risk\, especially in the psychological sphere. For this reason\, prior preparation is required\, simulating different scenarios. For example\, isolation\, confinement\, radiation\, reduced water consumption\, analogue environments\, lack of gravity\, distance from Earth\, etc.\, will increase the prevalence and severity of some affective\, cognitive\, physical and behavioural symptoms. We must understand that space tasks require a balance between people and machines. Therefore\, space scientists see the world from a different perspective. \nKeywords: Human Factors\, Human Behaviour\, Psychology and Performance \nEuroSpaceHub\, LUNEX EuroMoonMars\, International Moonbase Alliance\, NeuroTech Lab\, Space Renaissance International \nAn essential bio\nCELIA AVILA-RAUCH\, Psychotherapist-Coach-Supervisor\, Aviation and Space Psychologist\, Platzl 2\, 80331 Munich Germany  +49 1707327979 \nwww.windrose-coaching.de www.windroseglobaladvisors.de  windrosecoaching@outlook.com \nTrained at University of Girona (UdG)\, Master in Psychology Autonomous University Barcelona(UAB) Clinical psychologist and active cognitive behavioural psychotherapist.

SUMMARY:The booming new space economy - Adriano V. Autino
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe new space economy is booming at increasing pace\, since the first years of 21st Century. The sector moved first steps\, from 1997 to 2004\, when about 20 companies competed to win the X-Prize. The $10 million Ansari XPRIZE was conceived and funded by the philanthropists Peter Diamandis and Gregg Maryniak\, with the purpose of reducing the risk and cost of going into space\, incentivizing the creation of a reliable\, reusable\, privately funded manned spacecraft\, so as to finally make private space travel commercially viable. Before the Ansari XPRIZE\, spaceflight was the sole responsibility of governments. Space tourism was considered too dangerous and expensive for the general public Space exploration was neither possible nor affordable for the private sector. The 27 September and October 4 2004\, Scaled Composites won the X-Prize: it’s vehicle SpaceShipOne had flown 2 times over 100 km altitude in one week\, piloted by Mike Melvill and Brian Binnie. That was the trigger. Low cost access to space was demonstrated\, and many brave entrepreneurs and investors started to work and push the new space economy to grow up. 2015 can be considered the second key milestone\, when Elon Musk and its company Space X\, demonstrated the reusability of the rockets’ first stage. A new space company\, Space X is now leader of the launch market worldwide\, having downsized the cost of the orbital launches from $50.000 / Kg to current $1.500 / Kg. When fully reusable orbital vehicles will be available (Starship)\, we can expect a further downsizing of the cost to orbit\, at $100/Kg. and less. The global value of the space economy is now worth about $0.5 trillion\, and likely will reach $1.5 trillions before 2030. The space economy is leading the global economy development\, and demonstrates more and more to be the sole sustainable development\, in this first half of the 21st Century. This lecture covers the past\, the present and the future of the space economy\, providing a comprehensive look on the industry and growing market.\n \nA short bio\n\nAdriano Vittorio Autino\, born in Moncrivello (VC\, Italia)\, is co-founder and former President of the Space Renaissance Initiative\, since 2010 Space Renaissance International (SRI)\, an inter-cultural non-profit association\, whose mission is the opening of the space frontier: low-cost access to space\, space tourism\, industrialization of the geo-lunar space\, use of near Earth asteroids\, and the full development of space economy. Adriano is diplomed in Industrial Electronics\, acting since 1971 as a software and system engineer\, then project manager and entrepreneur in the field of real-time automation systems. His insatiable curiosity and the desire to engage in frontier fields have led him to work in the aerospace environment\, and to devise and develop an integrated software system\, supporting the systems engineering and the project lifecycle management processes. Adriano authored and co-authored several books\, papers and articles on the theme of civilization expansion into the outer space. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/LdgY34EpINs\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/524620919600099 \nAdriano Autino’s book “A greater world is possible” is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/greater-world-possible-expansion-civilization/dp/1727889924

SUMMARY:Illustrating the Universe - Danielle Futselaar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAn astronomical publication reads much more pleasantly with some pictures. A picture of Jupiter or the Andromeda Galaxy for example. But what about subjects of which there are no pictures? Think of an exoplanet or an interstellar comet\, or a phenomenon discovered by radio telescope. Then ‘artist impressions’ bring salvation.\n\nAn essential bio\nDaniëlle Futselaar specialized in these scientifically sound illustrations. She started in 2001 as an independent graphic designer and illustrator. Since 2011\, she has regularly provided illustrations to various astronomical organizations. As a result\, her work appears in the media regularly\, including Nature\, American Scientist\, National Geographic\, The Washington Post and The New York Times. Her work has also appeared on the cover of Nature and American Scientist. She has written and illustrated a children’s book about the universe and illustrated books for André Kuipers and Govert Schilling. She is currently writing and illustrating for a new book. \n\nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/LdgY34EpINs\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/878748413232781/

SUMMARY:Celebrating (and Continuing) Women’s Contributions to Our Push for the Stars - Priscilla Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPotentially half of the world’s coming contributions toward a human presence on Mars could lie in the hands of women. They will surely help us get there – but – in order to get the full picture of how we got to this point\, and to encourage future contributions\, we should make clearly known our recognition of the contributions they’ve already made.\nThis presentation will share and celebrate several “modern” key female contributors. It will include an offering of their backgrounds\, hurdles\, motivations\, and contributions; presented through both word and art. Images will include special selections from a new art collection highlighting these space luminaries in portraits; portraits with unusual storytelling approaches\, but using very classic and embracing styles. Included will be women who have made contributions from Astronomy to Engineering\, from Apollo program seamstresses to astronauts; from people who are household names\, to those with names few are familiar with. Highlighted will be the encouragement and assistance these achievers and luminaries offered from family and friends\, both male and female. “No man…(or woman – OR GREAT ENDEAVOR)… is an island”. Examples of the importance of reaching out and encouraging all potential contributors and allies will be shared. Our progress towards a human presence on Mars is not to be viewed as inevitable. It is not inevitable without contributions and support from all. The presentation will close with a call to encourage\, assist\, and invest in future contributions from women.\n \nAn essential bio\n\nPriscilla Thomas shares the wonder that exists where space & soul collide. Her art has been featured in books & in magazines\, including Astronomy Magazine’s 50 Greatest Cosmic Scenes edition. She has presented at the Space Renaissance International Fair in Berlin\, Germany; and at the Mars Society’s International Convention. Her art was shared at the month-long “Space and Soul Together” solo show. She has multiple pieces on loan\, including a piece displayed at Lowell Observatory. She’s also attended and covered multiple space launches\, and numerous NASA media exclusive open house events. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/N5nkQT2Udsk?feature=share\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/492867043042564
