JOURNAL OF EVOLUTION AND TECHNOLOGY , Volume 4, November 1999 The Political Economy of Very Large Space Projects John Hickman, Ph. D. Associate Professor of Government Department of Government and International Relations Berry College Mount Berry. GA 30149-5010 jhickman@berry.edu Abstract Reading the popular science literature reveals that remarkably few space development enthusiasts have given the political economy of their very large space projects serious thought. Instead, they have chosen to describe the exciting science and engineering possibilities while promising the moon and stars to those who would dare to exploit them. Performing this public relations role is certainly crucial if any very large space project is ever to be realized. Both elite and mass public opinion will be to be inspired if the kind of resources necessary for development are to be mobilized. But something much more fundamental is missing. What needs explaining are the rational motivations for investors to risk their capital in opening a very distant, completely uninhabited frontier that is subject to extreme environmental conditions. Why should investors risk the enormous sums necessary to realize these dreams? Unfortunately, space development enthusiasts typically respond to this question, not by answering it directly, but by itemizing the likely economic benefits derived from space

It has already been aboard four space shuttle missions, with scientists testing effects on the alloy in micro-gravity conditions. Because of its extraordinary performance characteristics, Liquidmetal alloy is also being considered for several upcoming aerospace applications. Currently, NASA's Genesis spacecraft, the first mission to collect and return samples of solar wind, is continuing its trek toward the sun. Liquidmetal alloy based solar wind collector tiles, about the size of a coffee cup lid, will play a key role in the collection process. The mission is designed to measure the composition of isotopes in solar matter. The spacecraft, with its onboard experiments, is scheduled to return to earth in 2004.

The libraries use computer vision techniques to precisely calculate a camera position and orientation relative to a tracking marker. The programmer can then use this information to draw 3D virtual objects that are exactly aligned with a real object. The libraries are available here for the SGI IRIX and Windows (95,98,NT) platforms a nd come with sample source code, documentation and several simple applications.

SEARCH: advertisement Space Elevator Upstarts Settle Down To Business By Leonard David Senior Space Writer posted: 07:00 am ET 20 November 2002 Constructing a vertical railroad stretching into space is no longer wistful fantasy carried in science fiction novels. Just ask the folks at HighLift Systems in Seattle, Washington. Selling the idea of a space elevator, however, takes a lot of ground floor shoe leather and handshakes. For the last few months, officials at HighLift Systems have been talking it up with an alphabet soup of government agencies, like NASA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as well as the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Meanwhile, testing of prototype space elevator equipment is near at hand. And by far the strongest link that keeps the concept on the straight and narrow is worldwide work now underway by the carbon nanotube research community. Overall, progress is being made in attaining the lofty goal of operating a 21 st century elevator to space.

Master of Science Thesis Projects in: Satellite Navigation and Space Geodesy Using Radio Techniques (Examensarbeten) We are carrying out several research contracts satellite navigation, space geodesy, remote sensing of the atmosphere, and related areas at the Department of Radio and Space Science. We can define Master of Science thesis projects which are related to this research, for example construction of microwave equipment, development of software for data acquisition and data analysis, and different kinds of system test measurements. Most of the projects listed below are thought to be for one person only. If two persons would like to work together it should be possible to redefine the work by adding some extra tasks. Our computer environment consists mainly of work stations running HPUX 10 but we also have a few Macs and PCs (LinuX and Windows). Transportation to and from the observatory is provided for students working at the observatory, leaving from Chalmers every morning and returning in the afternoon.
