Abstract:

This study explores the relevance between the missions of the UNAI and the strategic planning of internationalization of Lehigh University. Lehigh University is purposefully selected due to its unique partnership with the UNAI and its role as a “Global Citizenship Hub” in 2011. Though Lehigh University actively implements internationalization plans at home and abroad, which align with the missions of the UNAI, the relevant activities strongly illustrate the hegemony of the West in terms of language, power, and discourse.

AbstractThe future of space-based astrometric missions appears to be very promising. Three missions were described at IAU Colloquium 180. These are the Full-sky Astrometric Mapping Explorer (FAME), the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) and the Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics (GAIA) missions. These missions will substantially improve the accuracy of global astrometric measurements made by the Hipparcos space mission by factors of 20 to 250. A brief summary of these projects is given.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Global health engagement missions are conducted to improve and protect the health of populations worldwide. Recognizing the strong link between health and security, the Armed Forces have increased the number of global health engagement missions over the last decade to support force health protection, medical readiness, enhance interoperability, improve host nation capacity building, combat global health threats (i.e., emerging infectious diseases), support humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts, as well as build trust and deepen professional medical relationships worldwide. These missions additionally support the US Global Health Security Agenda, US National Security Strategy, US National Defense Strategy and National Military Strategy. Although global health engagement missions are conducted by armed forces with numerous military units and geographical locations, military healthcare personnel assigned to US Naval hospital ships also perform a wide range of these missions. These missions comprise some of the largest global health engagement missions conducted, encompassing hundreds of subject matter expert exchanges, community health exchanges, medical symposiums, and side-by-side partnered healthcare in countries around the world. Military healthcare personnel who have completed past missions possess valuable knowledge related to ship-based global health engagement missions. Capturing and transferring this knowledge to future deployed personnel is important for future successful missions, but has remained a significant challenge. The purpose of this study was to capture and examine first-person accounts of experiential learning among active duty physicians, nurses, and hospital corpsmen who had participated in recent hospital ship-based global heath engagement missions. Materials and Methods We used the interpretive, ethnographic method of interviewing and data analysis described by Benner. Interviews elicited detailed, narrative examples of experiences from military health care personnel who had participated in previous global health engagement missions aboard hospital ships (N = 141). Our approach to gaining meaning from these narratives was guided by three central strategies: (1) identify paradigm cases, (2) identify themes within and across participant narratives of meaningful patterns, and (3) identify exemplars to represent common patterns of meaning and common situations. Additionally, we collected demographic information. Results Our findings provide firsthand descriptions of five essential elements to prepare military healthcare personnel for shipboard global health engagement missions. These essential elements are mission clarity, preparedness, experiential knowledge, lessons learned, and flexibility/adaptability. Conclusions Widespread dissemination of the lessons learned from military global health engagement missions is crucial to shaping forces that operate effectively in a rapidly changing global environment. Sharing lessons learned increases efficiency, adaptability, and agility, while decreasing variance in processes and the need to relearn mission-specific lessons.

Abstract:

The increasing demand for low-cost space-borne Earth observation missions has led to small satellite constellation systems development. CubeSat platforms can provide a cost-effective multiple-mission space system using state-of-the-art technology. This paper presents a new approach to CubeSat constellation design for multiple missions using a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). The CubeSat constellation system is proposed to perform multi-missions that should satisfy global Earth observation and regional disaster monitoring missions. A computational approach using a class of MOGA named non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II is implemented to optimize the proposed system. Pareto optimal solutions are found that can minimize the number of satellites and the average revisit time (ART) for both regional and global coverage while maximizing the percentage coverage. As a result, the study validates the feasibility of implementing the CubeSat constellation design with an acceptable level of performance in terms of ART and percentage coverage. Moreover, the study demonstrates CubeSat’s ability to perform a multi-missions.

Abstract:

Abstract The global mission mandate, present in the New Testament and pre-modern Christianity, took on new force in the early modern period. Missionaries promoted the globalization of Christianity, and in so doing contributed to the broadening of intellectual horizons across the world. Often traveling by sea, they were among the first to cover the vast distances that the maritime empires of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries would subsequently span. This special issue explores the connections between three dynamic fields of research: missions, the history of knowledge, and maritime history. Taking a global and trans-denominational perspective, we seek to shed new light on some of the encounters, networks, exchanges, and transfers facilitated by maritime missions and the interactions of culturally and religiously diverse protagonists during the long eighteenth century.

Abstract:

The paper analyses the characteristics and evolution of cooperation between NATO and the countries which are neither situated in the Euro-Atlantic area nor are they involved in the Alliance?s multilateral programmes. The author focuses on the contribution of Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea to the ISAF mission in Afghanistan, and how this operation has gradually built their cooperation with the NATO. Those countries had initially been defined in NATO?s official documents as the contact countries, only to be subsequently named in 2008 as they are known today - the partners across the globe, or simply global partners. Mongolia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq now are the global partners of NATO as well. The departing point of discussion in this paper is the thesis that the ISAF mission may be considered as the cradle of the Alliance?s new concept of global partnership. The author sorts all NATO?s global partners in two main categories: the ?real? and ?fictitious?. The real global partners are countries that really contribute to the NATO?s missions, such as Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Mongolia. The fictitious global partners are those states that are actually the test area for NATO missions - Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as Pakistan, which has acquired the status of a partner due to its vital strategic position to the realisation of the Alliance?s mission in Afghanistan. The author concludes that the ?real? global partners are not viable for membership to NATO at this moment, but in the case of the strained relations between the United States and China the option of full membership cannot be excluded.

Abstract:

AbstractFollowing the progress of Chinese deep space exploration step, since 2006 we started a Mars mission, Yinghuo-1, by join in the Phobos-Grunt mission of Russia. A satellite bus platform and onboard payloads as well as an innovative open-loop radio tracking system have been developed by mission team. Also, together with Russian and German colleagues, we developed a kind of in-beam tracking method for measuring the rotation and nutation of Phobos, and developed the 1st Phobos global gravity field for the mission. We are promoting the Chinese new mission for Mars exploration. Although the joint YH-1 & Phobos-Grunt mission failed, the new techniques and knowledge developed by mission teams may benifit the future missions. In fact, the open-loop technique have been applied into lunar and other planetary missions, and the method in developing Phobos global gravity field will be used in the study of Rosetta mission and future Chinese mission for small body.

Abstract:

This thesis presents the coordination of an unmanned, multi-vehicle team that navigates through a congested environment. A novel approach is outlined that enables the control of multiple vehicles based on both computer vision and optimal trajectory algorithms. Various sensors are used to achieve localization in the indoor environment in lieu of global positioning data. Specifically, a Quanser Qball quadrotor is equipped with a downward-looking camera and sonar altimeter, while a Quanser Qbot ground vehicle is outfitted with sonar and infrared range finders. This equipment is complemented by an Optitrack motion-capture system. Using conventional image-processing techniques, the birds-eye images supplied by the quadrotor provide information regarding the dynamic environment that surrounds the ground vehicle. The ground vehicle can then produce a global, optimal trajectory, assuring collision-free operations. The optimization problem is addressed by applying the Inverse Dynamics in the Virtual Domain (IDVD) method that uses both the inverse kinematics of the ground vehicle and obstacle information. Furthermore, the IDVD method enables the separation of spatial and temporal planning. As verification of the results of this research, the developed approach for path planning is executed in a fully controlled lab environment and then compared with a sonar-based, reactive obstacle avoidance technique.

Abstract:

This study shows the importance of leading toward missional change within BUSA in post-1994 contexts incorporating global, afro-centric missional perspectives as South African Baptists. As my research will indicate, BUSA is at a crucial junction, and I contend that BUSA’s main problem is primarily a missiological problem, with ecclesiastical challenges that urgently need to be addressed by BUSA’s leaders. The importance of BUSA’s critical self- reflection and analysis is paramount. Does BUSA and her mission have a future, or will it fade into obscurity? Utilizing the South African Baptist faith heritage as an important interlocutor with a view to retrospective and prospective Baptist ecclesiology in post- 1994 South African society. Special recognition is given to the contribution of emerging Afro-centric missional voices within the current South African/African context. In doing so, this study seeks to be leadership-oriented, biblically-based and Afro-centric in its approach to missional change with South African Baptist Union churches. Toward missional leadership within BUSA churches this study: <ul> <li>1. Uncovers the importance of an Afro-centric missional ecclesiology, taking into consideration both local and global trends and conversations.</li> <li>2. Uncover a retrospective view of Baptist Ecclesiology within the Southern African context, with its relevance to the history and present-day context of ministry within BUSA.</li> <li>3. Analyses existing statistical data found within the Baptist Annual Handbook, to establish denominational trends since 1994, with a view to identifying significant ministry trends operable within BUSA.</li> 4. Collects, analyses and interprets data from a number of churches from within the Baptist Union of Southern Africa that stand out as significant in three or more ‘missional indicators’ in the first tier of research and analysis.

Abstract:

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California<br>Ongoing work at National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA/GSFC), seeks to apply standard Internet applications and protocols to meet the technology challenge of future satellite missions. Internet protocols and technologies are under study as a future means to provide seamless dynamic communication among heterogeneous instruments, spacecraft, ground stations, constellations of spacecraft, and science investigators. The primary objective is to design and demonstrate in the laboratory the automated end-to-end transport of files in a simulated dynamic space environment using off-the-shelf, low-cost, commodity-level standard applications and protocols. The demonstrated functions and capabilities will become increasingly significant in the years to come as both earth and space science missions fly more sensors and the present labor-intensive, mission-specific techniques for processing and routing data become prohibitively. This paper describes how an IP-based communication architecture can support all existing operations concepts and how it will enable some new and complex communication and science concepts. The authors identify specific end-to-end data flows from the instruments to the control centers and scientists, and then describe how each data flow can be supported using standard Internet protocols and applications. The scenarios include normal data downlink and command uplink as well as recovery scenarios for both onboard and ground failures. The scenarios are based on an Earth orbiting spacecraft with downlink data rates from 300 Kbps to 4 Mbps. Included examples are based on designs currently being investigated for potential use by the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission.

Abstract:

Technological advance has assured humanity�s desire to increase its quality of life, anyway humanity is currently confronted with several global challenges, their complexity bases on their interconnectedness, and on fast changes in technological field. Present space activities are directed to explore the potential of diverse celestial bodies to have hosted life. In this context the Moon Village Association, MVA has as its main objective creating a global informal forum for governments, industry, academia for debating the Moon Village concept. MVA fosters cooperation for existing or planned global moon exploration programs by establishing the Global Expert Group on Sustainable Lunar Activities, GEGSLA. On a global level the United Nations Office for Outer Space Activities, UNOOSA, through its Committee, Policy, and Legal Affairs Section, CPLA provides main support to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, UN-COPUOS. By the delegation of Romania, COPUOS has recently prepared a Proposal on a Consultative Mechanism on Lunar Activities, stating that lunar missions will for sure be carried out soon through efforts of space agencies and commercial stakeholders. In this context COPUOS is emphasizing the need to preserve the peaceful use of outer space by starting a new era of sustainable space exploration. This vision is urging global cooperation for shaping sustainable lunar activities, an Action Team on Lunar Activities Consultation, ATLAC, being proposed by the first author of this contribution. Therefore, some technical and operational issues are debated, which could be faced by lunar operators, being brought into debates by ATLAC with the goal of ensuring sustainable lunar activities.

Abstract:

Low-level flight missions can be complex, at times requiring any or all of the following: maneuvering and navigating over challenging terrain, scanning for hostile or friendly units, operation in degraded visibility, radio communications, and decision-making in uncertain and dynamics environments. These conditions, and time, will affect mental workload (MWL) and performance. While direct performance measurements are normally available, information on pilot workload must either be obtained through (intrusive) subjective measures directly from the pilot, or inferred using indirect measurements. Performance can affect MWL, and MWL can affect performance - as the pilot generally perceives and responds to task performance through display interfaces, these displays can be used to manage and balance the tradeoff between MWL and performance. This paper presents the work of a collaborative project between US and Israel whose objectives are to develop a multimodal integrated cueing environment for near-earth helicopter operations, and to validate measures for assessing pilot workload for real-time and post-mission applications. A first simulation experiment was conducted that examined 1) visual cueing depicting both predicted terrain slope and aircraft height-above-ground, and 2) spatial (3D) auditory cueing for depicting predicted deviation from desired height-above-ground and impending collision with terrain. Collected Measures included altitude error, control rate and Bedford rating. Initial results indicate that synergistic visual and auditory cueing can enhance performance, therefore could be used to reduce pilot workload while sustaining performance. A second simulation experiment was designed to assess MWL and task engagement under different workload levels encountered during a low-level mission that included the following conditions: unlimited vs. degraded visibility, presence or absence of obstacles and/or targets and terrain difficulty. Two local measures of workload were favored over a global measure: (1) oculomotor behavior, including the Index of Cognitive Activity (ICA) and (2) pilot's momentary behavior (micro-performance). Preliminary results show promise for using some of these measures as real-time indicators of pilot workload and engagement. The results of these two experiments will provide a framework for the development and evaluation of future workload-adaptive multimodal display concepts for helicopter operations during low-level flight.

Abstract:

Structural usage and loads monitoring can enhance safety, by identifying unusual usage patterns by individual aircraft or sub-fleets (e.g. operators, missions, or locations), and provide benefit to operators by enabling extended retirement times of life-limited components. While flight regime recognition (RR) algorithms have been demonstrated and partially validated, the use of existing onboard generic RR software provided in legacy Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) remains a challenge for achieving airworthiness approval of retirement time extensions using archived fleet data in compliance with existing guidance, such as the U.S. Army ADS-79E Handbook for Condition-Based Maintenance. The U.S. Army and Sikorsky Aircraft, a Lockheed Martin Company, conducted a joint Fatigue Life Management (FLM) project to configure, validate, and apply processes and methods for extending the retirement times of six high-value components for the Army's Black Hawk helicopter fleet, which is equipped with a state-of-the-art HUMS, known as the Integrated Vehicle Health Management System (IVHMS). A RR post-processing process for addressing key technical challenges associated with the use of legacy onboard RR software was configured and verified against existing UH-60 flight test data. These post-processing methods were then applied to a two year population of UH-60 fleet data to calculate usage statistics for individual aircraft within several sub-fleet populations associated with either different global deployment locations and/or missions. The fleet statistics were then used by the Army Aviation Engineering Directorate (AED) to establish a conservative update to the existing usage spectrum, which was applied by Sikorsky to calculate updated retirement times. The focus of this paper is on the successful configuration and verification of RR software used in compliance with ADS-79E to establish UH-60 A/L/M IVHMS fleet usage statistics. A companion paper, also published within proceedings of the AHS 74th Annual Forum, provides details on using the fleet statistics to define an updated UH-60 usage spectrum.

Edited by Roger Haagmans and Lucia Tsaoussi. European Space Agency, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5270/esa.nasa.magic-mrd.2020.

Full text

Abstract:

MAGIC is the joint NASA/ESA constellation concept based on NASA’s Mass Change Designated Observable (MCDO) and ESA’s Next Generation Gravity Missions (NGGM) studies. The main objective of MAGIC is to extend the mass transport time series of previous gravity missions such as GRACE and GRACE-FO with significantly enhanced accuracy, spatial and temporal resolutions and to demonstrate the operational capabilities of MAGIC with the goal of answering global user community needs to the greatest possible extent. This document defines unambiguous and traceable requirements for preparing and developing MAGIC. The scope of the MAGIC Mission Requirement Document includes end-to-end Earth observation system including user/scientific requirements, mission operations, data product development and processing, data distribution and data archiving. The intention of the document is also to accommodate results from NASA MCDO study, ESA Phase-0 NGGM and other national studies on future gravity missions. The MAGIC MRD is a NASA/ESA reference document frozen in its current version 1.0 that defines the mission requirements achievable by an optimised two-pair Bender-type constellation of a future implementation. Subsequent ESA and NASA official documents of updated implementation baseline will be traceable to the MAGIC MRD.

Full text

Abstract:

The idea that national security and economic prosperity stem from being at the technological frontier (‘techno-nationalism’) is once again a dominant feature of global politics. The post-war United States has emerged as the key model in these discussions, with the ‘moonshot’ seen as an outstanding example of how to direct state resources towards technological breakthroughs, while the capacity of the American government is praised more generally for its ability to sponsor ground-breaking technology. This paper, however, suggests that the United States was the exception, not the rule, and that the failures of post-war Britain highlight the limitations of ‘techno-nationalism’ with vivid clarity. During the 1950s and 1960s, the British state took long-term bets on securing a leading role in the world’s technological future, specifically in the areas of supersonic flight via Concorde and nuclear power generation. The result, however, was not export glory but industrial calamity. These long-running programmes were eventually cut back in the 1970s, when it became accepted in Whitehall that Britain should no longer try to be the Science and Tech Superpower, attempting to leapfrog the United States to technological glory. Understanding this trajectory in Britain dislodges the sense that focusing on emerging technology and the long term is a silver bullet in policymaking. We must appreciate that the realities of technological power matter, and grasp that the post-war US was an unrepresentative case: no country today will have the relative level of industrial and technological might that it enjoyed at that time. While my arguments will resonate in other national contexts, my focus is on ensuring that any strategy for ‘high technology’ in the UK today continues to learn the lessons from the errors of the post-war period. It must be wary of expert capture within the state. It must also think about industrial strategy in an integrated way, across national security, economics, and foreign policy, with a policymaking machinery set up to deal with this level of complexity. Moreover, despite the attention afforded to national state funding, the UK should continue to see forging alliances as essential alongside working with international business and be clear-eyed about where it does and does not need to sustain national capabilities.

Full text

Abstract:

This report explores what (if any) diversification strategies national oil and gas companies (NOGCs) are employing to engage in an energy transition, with a focus on four South American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador.The authors identify how four South American NOGCs are preparing to transform in the face of climate change and the energy transition. They do so by looking at these companies’ publicly stated ambitions regarding diversification: they focus in particular on whether and how these companies are leaving fossil fuels behind, as a sign of transforming their core business and moving towards a more structural transformation overall in society. The four South American NOGCs are Ecopetrol (Colombia), Petrobras (Brazil), Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF, Argentina) and EP Petroecuador (Ecuador). While all four companies are controlled by their national governments, three are also public companies that are traded on domestic and international stock markets. This report can serve as a resource for comparative analysis and to inform transition strategies in oil and gas–producing countries, for energy and finance researchers, professionals working within NOGCs, and policymakers shaping NOGCs’ missions, strategies and investments. Key messages National oil and gas companies, or NOGCs, must transform to survive and fit into a new global dynamic for mitigating the impacts of climate change. While navigating their roles in generating public revenue and domestic employment, enabling public services, and other characteristics, they will also have to overcome institutional barriers in order to accelerate their diversification into non-fossil fuel businesses. Diversification to new low-carbon businesses is a part of but not the priority for decarbonization for four of South America’s NOGCs. These four South American NOGCs have limited capacity to expand into new low-carbon businesses. More research is needed to assess and strengthen South American NOGCs’ preparedness for a transition to a low-carbon future, including factors such as financial, technical and managerial capabilities, and their role in national and global political economies.

Abstract:

This report analyzes data collected from 2700 churches of the Center for Congregations in Indianapolis through the Connect Through Tech grant program between 2020-2021. This report analyzes data gathered from applications to the CTT grant and final reports submitted by these churches, in order to learn how churches understand and perceive the role of churches, technology, and their relationship changed during the first two years of the pandemic as they incorporated digital media into their ministry work. The “Mission to Serve Tech” report explores three key themes: (1) how leaders understanding of the mission of the church may have changed during the pandemic, (2) the general understanding of how churches conceptualize the relationship between church and technology before and then later during the pandemic, and (3) the ways technology created both unique opportunities and new challenges that cause churches perceptions and actions to shift in new ways. Important findings of this report include that most churches (84.7%) used their grant funds to purchase live-streaming services and camera/video equipment (82%).

Full text

Abstract:

This POSTnote looks at hypersonic missile technologies, efforts to develop them, potential applications, and the possible challenges they may present for missile defence and global stability. Key Points: • Hypersonic missiles combine speeds of over five times the speed of sound with significant manoeuvrability during flight. • Their manoeuvrability enables them to change trajectory during flight, making their flight-path and target difficult to predict. • They fly at lower altitudes than ballistic missiles, which means that they may be harder to track at long distances with some surface-based sensors, such as certain radar. • There are two main types of hypersonic missile: hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) and hypersonic cruise missiles (HCMs). • HGVs are mounted onto rocket boosters for launch and may be accelerated to speeds of Mach 20 or more. The glider then separates from the booster and flies unpowered in the Earth’s upper atmosphere at altitudes of 30-80 km, before diving towards the target. • HCMs typically have a ramjet or scramjet engine that enables them to reach hypersonic speeds at altitudes of 20-40 km. • China and Russia have reportedly deployed hypersonic missiles that could deliver conventional or nuclear weapons. The US is testing multiple hypersonic technologies. • The AUKUS agreement between the UK, US and Australia includes developing hyper-sonic and counter-hypersonic technologies. • Developing hypersonic missiles requires significant research and development challenges to be overcome, contributing to their high development and manufacturing costs. • The speed, manoeuvrability and altitude of hypersonic missiles may challenge existing missile defences, although their uses and effectiveness are still being assessed. • Defence analysts disagree about the potential implications of hypersonic missiles for global peace and stability. Some suggest they could increase the risk of conflict escalation, while others say that they will not alter the strategic balance between nuclear powers. • Arms control, export controls and other measures may help limit potential harm to peace and stability, but these approaches face challenges.

Abstract:

This paper uses the structural gravity model to quantify potential merchandise potential exports for Asian economies, identify destinations with significant untapped potential, and assess how factors such as cutting the time required to export can improve export performance. Preliminary findings reveal that Asian economies, on average, have sustained missing exports equivalent to 6% of gross domestic product. While Asian economies perform relatively well internationally, there remains room for improvement to match top global standards.
