Space Research, Education, and Related Activities in the Space Sciences
2013Co-Authors: NasaAbstract:The Universities Space Research Association received an award of Cooperative Agreement #NCC5-356 on September 29, 1998. The mission of this activity, know as the Cooperative Program in Space Sciences (CPSS), is to conduct Space science research and leading-edge instrumentation and technology development, enable research by the Space Sciences communities, and to expedite the effective dissemination of Space science research, technology, data, and information to the educational community and the general public. To fulfill this mission, USRA recruits and maintains a staff of scientific researchers, operates a series of guest investigator facilities, organizes scientific meetings and workshops, and encourages various interactions with students and university faculty members.

starguides 2001 a world wide directory of organizations in astronomy related Space Sciences and other related fields
2001Co-Authors: Andre HeckAbstract:"StarGuides 2001" represents the most comprehensive and accurately validated collection of practical data on organizations involved in astronomy, related Space Sciences and other related fields. This invaluable reference source (and its companion volume, "StarBriefs 2001") should be on the reference shelf of every library, organisation or individual with any interest in these areas. The coverage includes relevant universities, scientific committees, institutions, associations, societies, agencies, companies, academies, bibliographic services, data centres, dealers, distributors, funding organizations, journals, manufacturers, meteorological services, national norms & standards institutes, parent associations & societies, publishers, software producers & distributors, and so on. Besides astronomy and associated Space Sciences, related fields such as aeronautics, aeronomy, astronautics, atmospheric science, chemistry, communications, computer Sciences, data processing, education, electronics, engineering, energetics, environment, geodesy, geophysics, information handling, management, mathematics, meteorology, optics, physics, remote sensing, and many more are also covered where appropriate. After more than 25 years in continuous compilation, verification and updating, "StarGuides 2001" currently gathers together over 6,200 entries from over 100 countries. The information is presented in a clear, uncluttered manner for direct and easy use. For each entry, all practical data are listed: city, postal and electronic mail addresses; telephone and fax numbers; URLs for WWW access; foundation years; numbers of members and/or numbers of staff; main activities; publication titles, frequencies, ISS-Numbers and circulations; names and geographical co-ordinates of observing sites; names of planetariums; and, awards, prizes or distinctions granted etc. The entries are listed alphabetically in each country. An exhaustive index gives a breakdown not only by different designations and acronyms, but also by location and major terms in names. Thematic sub-indices are also provided as well as a list of telephone and telefax national codes. In short, almost anyone involved in any way in the fields of astronomy and related Space Sciences will find invaluable contact and background information in this volume. All entries have been compiled from data supplied by each listed organisation and all data has been independently verified - making it the most accurate and relevant source available.

www in astronomy and related Space Sciences
Computer Networks and Isdn Systems, 1995Co-Authors: D Egret, Andre HeckAbstract:Abstract The astronomical community has become rapidly a wide user of the World Wide Web. It proved to be particularly useful at many different levels: individual institutes providing descriptions of their local facilities, eften including links to staff personal pages; distributed organizations, often at an international scale, with cross-referenced sets of documents from different sites; databases and information systems related to specific Space or ground-based observing facilities; networks of astronomical or related Space science facilities listed above; yellow-page services and compilations of anchors towards all these services, including databases of personal pages, which can be browsed or searched by keywords. The most prominent examples of combined metadatabases and yellow-page services in the field are the compilations set up at five different sites internationally by the AstroWeb consortium and the different complementary products of the Star ∗ s Family of astronomy resources . This paper gives a review of the situation of the Web penetration in the fields concerned, illustrated by a diversity of examples. Future needs are identified.

ESSC-ESF Position Paper Science-Driven Scenario for Space Exploration: Report from the Europe Space Sciences Committee (ESSC)
Astrobiology, 2009Co-Authors: Worms Jean-claude, Lammer Helmut, Barucci Antonella, Beebe Reta, Bibring Jean-pierre, Blamont Jacques, Blanc Michel, Bonnet Roger, Brucato John R., Chassefiere EricAbstract:In 2005 the then ESA Directorate for Human Spaceflight, Microgravity and Exploration (D-HME) commissioned a study from the European Science Foundation's (ESF) European Space Sciences Committee (ESSC) to examine the science aspects of the Aurora Programme in preparation for the December 2005 Ministerial Conference of ESA Member States, held in Berlin. A first interim report was presented to ESA at the second stakeholders meeting on 30 and 31 May 2005. A second draft report was made available at the time of the final science stakeholders meeting on 16 September 2005 in order for ESA to use its recommendations to prepare the Executive proposal to the Ministerial Conference. The final ESSC report on that activity came a few months after the Ministerial Conference (June 2006) and attempted to capture some elements of the new situation after Berlin, and in the context of the reduction in NASA's budget that was taking place at that time; e. g., the postponement sine die of the Mars Sample Return mission. At the time of this study, ESSC made it clear to ESA that the timeline imposed prior to the Berlin Conference had not allowed for a proper consultation of the relevant science community and that this should be corrected in the near future. In response to that recommendation, ESSC was asked again in the summer of 2006 to initiate a broad consultation to define a science-driven scenario for the Aurora Programme. This exercise ran between October 2006 and May 2007. ESA provided the funding for staff support, publication costs, and costs related to meetings of a Steering Group, two meetings of a larger ad hoc group ( 7 and 8 December 2006 and 8 February 2007), and a final scientific workshop on 15 and 16 May 2007 in Athens. As a result of these meetings a draft report was produced and examined by the Ad Hoc Group. Following their endorsement of the report and its approval by the plenary meeting of the ESSC, the draft report was externally refereed, as is now normal practice with all ESSC-ESF reports, and amended accordingly. The Ad Hoc Group defined overarching scientific goals for Europe's exploration programme, dubbed "Emergence and co-evolution of life with its planetary environments,"focusing on those targets that can ultimately be reached by humans, i.e., Mars, the Moon, and Near Earth Objects. Mars was further recognized as the focus of that programme, with Mars sample return as the recognized primary goal; furthermore the report clearly states that Europe should position itself as a major actor in defining and leading Mars sample return missions. The report is reproduced in this article. On 26 November 2008 the Ministers of ESA Member States decided to give a high strategic priority to the robotic exploration programme of Mars by funding the enhanced ExoMars mission component, in line therefore with the recommendations from this ESSC-ESF report.
