A History of Japanese Space Projects Japan's space development begins with the horizontal firing of a "pencil" rocket Japan's postwar space development project work began in 1955 at Kokubunji, Tokyo with a successful horizontal firing experiment involving a pencil-shaped test rocket made by Tokyo University. Later, at the testing range on the Michikawa coast in Akita Prefecture, the "Baby," "Kappa," and other series of rockets were launched. In 1970, after the range facilities were moved to Uchinoura in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan's first artificial satellite (Ohsumi), the fruit of many trials and failures, went into orbit. Japan thus became the fourth nation to launch a domestically developed satellite, and after this the national space science program rapidly developed. The establishment of the National Space Development Agency (NASDA) in 1969 creates a space development system that promotes practical space utilization NASDA, the National Space Development Agency of Japan, currently the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), was founded in 1969 as an organization that aims at space development that is beneficial to people's actual lives. The previous year the Space Activities Commission (SAC) had established the National Space Development Agency of Japan as a system to regulate both the scientific and practical aspects of Japan's space program. the National Space Development Agency of Japan developed satellites for such practical applications as weather monitoring, telecommunications and broadcasting, and also rapidly improved the level of production technology of American rocket technology, which until then could not be transferred.

CHAPTER 30: SPACE LAW © John F. Graham, 1995 Photos courtesy NASA When the Apollo astronauts went back and forth to the Moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s they remarked about how fragile the Earth looked as it hung like a blue jewel in the blackness of space. They saw only oceans and continents with no national boundaries on the land masses. Today, the most frequently noted quote from the space shuttle and the Mir astronauts is how there is a significant lack of boundaries as seen from space. A concept such as national sovereignty is benign in space, but the inhabitants of Earth still carry on their everyday existence with wars over which boundary is correct, which people should rule a piece of land, and which people should die because they happen to occupy the land. Ownership is a human trait; it is as common as the air we breath. A person is willing to sacrifice almost everything to be an owner of something; for example a small amount of acreage or a small shop to sell some goods required by other people in society. Very often there are differences as to who should own the property or whether the prices in a shop are too exorbitant. Justice needs to be served. At this point people design governments to ensure that justice based on reasonable laws which in turn are based upon the society's value system are enforced. Countries are macroscopic models of small communities. If one nation's value system conflicts with another country's when they try to settle their differences over property, land or goods; the countries can take one of two actions: (1) Go to war with the other country or (2) find some arbiter to settle the countries' differences. Even though some countries still choose war, a number of nations have chosen to bring their cases before the United Nations to settle their differences. It is in this backdrop that Space Law was formed.

We asked girls in our community that question and here's what they had to say. I see a male staring at the screen all day long, typing always stressed talks about nothing but computer science super smart Ideas like these are common and may explain why many girls decide not to enroll in a technology summer camp or an advanced programming class at school. But the problem isn't with girls. Take a look at computer games or course offerings and you'll find that most are designed for boys. Consider the image of computer scientists portrayed in the media and you’ll also find it isn’t likely to attract many students—girls or boys—to technology. We developed the Techbridge program to introduce girls to various applications of technology and to encourage them to consider careers in the field. We began by talking to girls to find out what kinds of technology projects appealed to them. They had lots of ideas: addressing problems at school and in the neighborhood; designing products like a school newsletter; taking field trips; and meeting women in the field. They were also very enthusiastic about a program just for girls.

Australian Rocket Projects Reviving Interest In Space Technology A consortium of universities, working with the Australian Space Research Institute Ltd. (ASRI), is reviving interest in Australian space technology. "The aim of the project is to expand the local base of expertise for the space industry by using Australian designed and built launch vehicles. The alliance is developing local expertise in microsatellites, which can carry remote sensing systems with valuable applications such as agricultural and mineral assessment, bush fire detection, flood warnings and vehicle tracking. With smaller sensors now being constructed, microsatellites can do tasks currently done by conventional satellites more cheaply. Some of the functions which microsatellites could be used for will include monitoring bushfires, flood warnings, and crop observation. Bushfire monitoring systems use an infra-red sensor on the satellite. This is tuned to sense the heat radiation from bushfires. An automated system could be useful for remote parts of Australia where bushfires can go undetected for days. For the flood warning system a device installed on a river bank at a remote location communicates the river level to the satellite. This is useful not only for crisis situations but can assist in long term river level management. In the case of crop observation, sensors can detect the sunlight reflected by the crops and this can help farmers work out how healthy the crop is in a particular part of the field.

You may download the graphic above by clicking the following links: 28x28 inches (1 meg) 53x53 inches (8 meg) you may need to open this file in a graphics editor for proper colors Space Elevator Technology: The Space Elevator concept is a structure extending from the surface of the Earth to geo-stationary Earth orbit (GEO). Its center of mass is at GEO such that the entire structure orbits the Earth in sync with the Earth’s rotation maintaining a stationary position over its base attachment at the equator. It is envisioned that such a structure would be used as a mass transportation system in the latter part of the 21st century for transporting people, payloads, gasses and power between Earth and space. The above illustration for a Space Elevator concept is taken from the geo-stationary transfer station looking down the length of the elevator structure towards Earth. Electromagnetic vehicles travel the length of the elevator to transfer passengers and cargo between Earth and space. Large reels with high strength cables work back and forth to provide adjustments to the position of the geo station and an asteroid counter weight above (not shown) to maintain the center of mass for the entire structure at a geo-stationary point above the Earth. Research into the feasibility of space elevators indicates that there are Five Key Technologies for Future Space Elevator Development:

From the The Globe and Mail An MIT study of over 1,000 adults and 500 teens reports that cell phones (followed by alarm clocks) are the technology we most "love to hate." Perhaps people don't like being always available. However, people also need to learn how to turn the phone off to avoid that problem. Come on...just do it. Cellphones: We love them and hate them, study finds By OLIVER MOORE Globe and Mail Update POSTED AT 11:41 AM EST An MIT study has found that cellphones top alarm clocks as the piece of technology that people most like to hate. Although they recognized the convenience of a mobile phone as an increasingly useful part of modern life, almost one in three (30 per cent) of the people surveyed said that they loathed cellphones. Running neck-and-neck for second place were alarm clocks (25 per cent) and television (23 per cent). Also provoking hostility in the survey — released Wednesday — were razors, microwaves, coffee pots, computers and vacuum cleaners — all seen as essential and yet despised inventions. “Cellphones have clearly been beneficial in terms of increasing worker productivity and connecting people with family and friends,” said Merton Flemings, director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, the non-profit organization that oversaw the survey.

Space Projects: SF Division The Past The Present The Future The Past Mars Pathfinder When Mars Pathfinder deployed its parachute, rocket-braking system and revolutionary system of air bags to land softly on the Martian surface shortly before noon on July 4, 1997, it was the second time NASA had landed on the Red Planet. The first was in 1976 when the Viking mission softly touched down. Primarily an engineering demonstration of key technologies and concepts for eventual use in future missions to Mars, Pathfinder employed a surface lander and the rover Sojourner (named for the abolitionist and women's suffrage advocate Sojourner Truth) to deliver science instruments to the planet's surface. NASA will rely on the instruments to investigate Mars' atmospheric structure and surface. Within hours of the successful landing, NASA officially named the Mars Pathfinder lander "Sagan Memorial Station," in honor of the late astronomer Carl Sagan. Launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida on December 4, 1996 on the second day of a 29-day launch window, Pathfinder completed of its seven-month journey on schedule. When it entered the Martian atmosphere and landed, softly and upright, the data-gathering phase of the mission began.
