Researchers at the University of Arizona and beyond have spent decades studying what asteroids are made of, how they move, and how they impact the Earth. Now, for the first time in United States history, the OSIRIS-REx mission will return a pristine sample from the near-Earth asteroid, Bennu.
This presentation provides an overview of NASA's Science Mission Directorate that carries out the agency's missions for Earth science, heliophysics, astrophysics, and planetary sciences.

Geographical thinking is vital for addressing some of the critical geopolitical, environmental, and socio-economic challenges facing the contemporary world. Yet the insights geography can offer on the changes unfolding around us are often overlooked because of the tendency to view geography in static, descriptive terms--and indeed rank ignorance of the subject. Alexander Murphy will highlight how geography's concern with spatial patterns and assumptions, mapping, and integrative place-based modes of analysis can enhance understanding of matters ranging from uprisings in the Middle East, to human alteration of natural systems, to the spread of disease, to the impacts of technology on contemporary society. Examples will range widely, but will include developments of contemporary significance to Asia such as growing tensions in the South China Sea, the sustainability challenges facing Asian cities, and disputes over water resources in the Mekong region.

ILOA Galaxy Forum Hawaii 2014 -- Melissa Adams on Hawaii as Planetary AnalogILOAHawaii
ILOA is an interglobal enterprise incorporated in Hawaii as a 501(c)(3) non-profit to expand human knowledge of the Cosmos through observation from our Moon and to participate in internationally cooperative lunar base build-out, with Aloha – the spirit of Hawai`i. The ILOA co-sponsors with its Space Age Publishing Company affiliate an international series of Galaxy Forums to advance 21st Century Education. Galaxy Forums, designed to provide greater global awareness, capabilities and action in Galaxy science, exploration and enterprise, are held in Hawaii, Silicon Valley, Canada, China, India, Japan, Europe, Africa, Chile, Brazil, Southeast Asia, Kansas and New York. Current plans are for expansion to Antarctica and beyond.

International Lunar Observatory-1: Making Moon South Pole Astronomy and Communications a Reality – Steve Durst, Founding Director, International Lunar Observatory Association, Editor and Publisher of Space Age Publishing Co.
ILO-1 Moon South Pole: A new frontier as exciting and enriching as Humans on Mars or trillion dollar asteroids, and much closer in space and time.
Pursuing a series of Moon-based observatory missions to complement Earth-based and Space-based astronomy, ILOA seeks to advance Galaxy Imaging for 21st century astronomy education with its ILO-1 primary mission 2-meter radio antenna to Malapert Mt. 86°S 2.7°E near the Moon’s South Pole, with an ILO-X precursor mission aboard a GLXP lander, and with a Human Service Mission to the ILO-1 / robotic village new world frontier.
ILOA is also collaborating with the National Astronomical Observatories – Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) Lunar Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT) at Mare Imbrium 44°N 20°W aboard the China Chang’e-3 Moon Lander, the first spacecraft to land on the Moon in almost 40 years and the only spacecraft operating on the lunar surface. Conducting science-driven and education-based Astronomy from the Moon via LUT is a foundational success of international cooperation on which the ILOA intends to build.
More than 40 years since the Far Ultraviolet Camera / Spectrograph operated on the Descartes Highlands by NASA Apollo 16 Commander and ILOA Board of Director Emeritus John Young in April 1972, ILOA is drawing together resources from across the planet to reclaim the cosmic revolution of Humanity as a Multi World Species.
The 7th Edition of ILOA’s stellar “Galaxy Map” is now being distributed to high school teachers and other educators around the world, designed for use in every class with maps of the world and Solar System.

ILOA Galaxy Forum SEA Indonesia -- DurstILOAHawaii
The 3rd Regional Galaxy Forum Southeast Asia is taking place at the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) branch office in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. In addition to ILOA, the event is co-organized by the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB). Faculty of the Department of Astronomy at ITB have been a key factor in the development of the regional SEA Galaxy Forum program.
Indonesia, the world’s 4th most populous country, is building 21st Century capabilities and investing in the future of Astronomy and Astronautics to the immediate benefit of students in every class across the archipelago. Scientists at the Bosscha Observatory, ITB and others, continue with plans to construct a 2.5-m class telescope and a 1-m radio telescope at Mount Timau or Mount Rinjani.
LAPAN is planning to complete work on a Space Port and Launch Center at Morotai Island by 2025. This complex is to act as the test site and future operational base of the LAPAN experimental satellite launcher. Last year the Rocket Technology Center conducted a successful static test of the RX 320 booster generating thrust of up to 4.9 tons. This is one of two rockets that will form the building blocks of the 4 stage orbital satellite rocket Roket Pengorbit Satelit (RPS) that is currently in development.

1. Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE)
combines the creative strengths of both science and engineering with the research and
educational activities of the school, setting the stage for a new era of exploration – of Earth,
of space, and of the future.
We conduct field work on every continent on Earth; send probes to
the Moon, Mars, Venus, and Mercury; and employ ground-based and
orbiting telescopes to interrogate deep space.
Diverse research mission:
• Astrobiology & Exoplanets • Geological Sciences,
• Astronomy & Astrophysics Geochemistry, Geophysics
• Cosmology • Planetary Sciences
• Earth Systems Sciences • Science Education
• Environmental Sciences • Systems Engineering
We are developing and employing new strategies for world-class
scientific exploration, educating a new generation of explorers, and
promoting a greater public understanding and appreciation of science.
SESE is a vibrant community of 71 faculty, over 150 research
scientists and postdoctoral scholars, over 130 graduate
students, and over 400 undergraduates supported by an
administrative and operations staff of more than 20.
Training the next generation of explorers

2. More than 150 ASU faculty members have some involvement with the space
industry. Over the past two fiscal years, these relationships translated into $69
million in research funding through 211 awards. About 60 percent of those awards
came through SESE and the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. ASU scientists
will play key roles in several upcoming NASA missions:
OSIRIS REx:
This asteroid sample-return mission will include an instrument designed
and built at ASU by Professor Phil Christensen
called OTES. OTES’ role is to map the
asteroid’s mineralogy. This will help mission
scientists choose a location to collect a sample
of Bennu’s rocks and soil, which will be the first
asteroid sample to be returned to Earth.
Launch date: 2016
MARS ROVER 2020:
NASA will send another rover to the Red Planet
to seek signs of past life, to collect and store
samples that could be returned to Earth in the
future, and to test new technology to benefit
future robotic and human exploration of Mars.
ASU Professor Jim Bell will design, deliver and
oversee the Mastcam-Z imaging investigation,
a pair of color panoramic zoom cameras.
Launch date: 2020
EUROPA CLIPPER:
ASU professors Philip Christensen, Mikhail
Zolotov and Everett Shock are involved with
NASA’s newly announced robotic mission to
investigate whether conditions suitable for life
exist at Jupiter’s moon Europa. One of the
mission’s instruments, E-THEMIS, will be built
at ASU by Christensen.
Launch date: 2020s
