Space Operations, Inc. is developing a commercial manned spacecraft called Eclipse to provide orbital transportation services. Eclipse can carry 2 people and over 10,000 lbs of cargo to low Earth orbit using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The company has developed preliminary designs and plans to build one test vehicle and one operational vehicle if funded. Space Operations is requesting $111 million to fund development of the first Eclipse spacecraft and its Falcon 9 launcher.

Long duration, lighter than air, stratospheric airships might offer a unique and compelling platform for a wide range of Earth science and astrophysics. There is also great commercial opportunity in stratospheric, stationary platforms that can remain aloft for months or even years at a time. A 2013 Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) series of workshops (http://kiss.caltech.edu/programs.html#airships) brought together a number of scientists and aerospace industry professionals to discuss this potential. The report from that study (http://kiss.caltech.edu/papers/airships/papers/airships.pdf) identified the need for a graduated approach to developing the necessary technology and recommended a funded challenge as one way to meet this need. The NASA Centennial Challenge office funded development of the Airships-20-20-20 Challenge, but NASA ultimately decided not to pursue the Challenge. I will describe the science enabled by airships and the proposed Challenge.
CANADIAN ON-ORBIT AUTOMATED ROBOTIC SERVICING EXPERIMENT (COARSE) STUDYAlexandre Parent
This executive report summarizes the work performed in the exploration study for the Phase 0 “Canadian On-Orbit Automated Servicing Experiment” concept study. This study was funded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) under the contract 9F052-101461/004/MTB to MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd (MDA). The work was performed from October 5th,2011 to April 1st, 2012.
The primary objective of the study was to develop an experimental payload concept for the International Space Station (ISS) to advance Canada’s world-leading position in space robotics and servicing technologies for the next generation of spacecraft servicing opportunities: current unprepared and future lightly-prepared spacecraft.
Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

To encourage the development of a commercial space industry in the United States, and for other purposes.
Oct. 28, 1998 - [H.R. 1702]
SEC. 101. COMMERCIALIZATION OF SPACE STATION.
(a) Policy.--The Congress declares that a priority goal of constructing the International Space Station is the economic
development of Earth orbital space. The Congress further declares that free and competitive markets create the most efficient
conditions for promoting economic development, and should therefore govern the economic development of Earth orbital
space. The Congress further declares that the use of free market principles in operating, servicing, allocating the use of, and
adding capabilities to the Space Station, and the resulting fullest possible engagement of commercial providers and
participation of commercial users, will reduce Space Station operational costs for all partners and the Federal Government's
share of the United States burden to fund operations.
SEC. 107. SOURCES OF EARTH SCIENCE DATA.
(a) Acquisition.--The Administrator shall, to the extent possible and while satisfying the scientific or educational requirements of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and where appropriate, of other Federal agencies and scientific
researchers, acquire, where cost- effective, space-based and airborne Earth remote sensing data, services, distribution, and
applications from a commercial provider.
TITLE II--FEDERAL ACQUISITION OF SPACE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
(a) In General.--Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Federal Government shall acquire space transportation
services from United States commercial providers whenever such services are required in the course of its activities. To the
maximum extent practicable, the Federal Government shall plan missions to accommodate the space transportation services
capabilities of United States commercial providers.
