This document provides information about acceleration due to gravity. It defines acceleration due to gravity as the acceleration of a freely falling body due to the gravitational force of attraction exerted by the Earth. It is denoted by 'g' and is independent of the mass of the falling body. The value of 'g' depends on the distance from the center of the Earth and varies from 9.83 m/s^2 at the poles to 9.79 m/s^2 at the equator. 'g' decreases with increasing distance from the Earth's surface and is zero at the Earth's center. The value of 'g' also varies for other planets depending on their radius and mass.
Galaxy Forum Korea 2019 Busan PPT for ILOA ILOAHawaii
The International Lunar Observatory Association (ILOA) plans to conduct astronomy and Earth observation from installations on the lunar surface. ILOA's goals include obtaining the first images of the Milky Way galaxy center from the Moon and studying Earth's atmosphere and weather. Future ILOA missions propose using locations like the lunar south pole for astronomy and establishing a human presence on the Moon in the 2020s. ILOA is working with space agencies globally on collaborative lunar science missions.
The document discusses the potential for lunar ultraviolet observatories. It notes that the Moon provides a stable location with no atmosphere to observe UV radiation from sources like the intergalactic medium, exoplanets, and the Earth's magnetosphere and exosphere. A proposed mission called EarthASAP would use a cubesat in lunar orbit to produce the first 3D map of the Earth's exosphere and monitor interactions between the Earth and solar wind. Such observations from the Moon's perspective could provide important data for studying exoplanets and space weather effects. The document outlines the science goals and technological requirements for EarthASAP and lunar UV observatories more broadly.
The document is about a sun eclipse. It shows that during a sun eclipse, the moon creates a small shadow on Earth that allows only certain areas to see a total eclipse of the sun. The shadow blocks the sun's light in specific locations while other places still see partial or no eclipse at all.
Louise Riofrio talks on the Speed of LightILOAHawaii
The document discusses the history of cosmological theories from an Earth-centered model to a Sun-centered model proposed by Copernicus to the modern Big Bang theory. It also proposes that a simple equation, GM=tc^3, may help solve problems in cosmology such as the lunar orbit anomaly and observations of distant supernovae. Future experiments like the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space could help test predictions of a changing speed of light from the proposed equation.
The UH88" telescope located on Maunakea in Hawaii is well positioned for the 21st century.

This document discusses the solar system and includes the following key points:
1. The solar system is made up of various celestial objects that orbit the sun, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
2. The sun is at the center and has the strongest gravitational pull. It is a massive ball of hot, glowing gas.
3. The document goes on to discuss topics like the earth's rotation, hemispheres, seasons, the moon's phases and eclipses.
This document summarizes the history of discoveries about the expanding universe and the unexpected findings that have challenged our understanding, including the accelerating expansion driven by dark energy. It discusses early models proposed by Einstein and others, the evidence from the cosmic microwave background and supernovae observations in the late 20th century that revealed the universe is expanding and accelerating, and outstanding questions about dark energy and dark matter that remain areas of active research today.
This document provides a 23-month calendar of themes and events for exploring the solar system. It is divided into two main sections focusing on how the solar system originated and evolved over time, and how life began on Earth. Each month covers a topic related to these questions through missions happening that month, opportunities for public involvement, and astronomy-related events. The calendar aims to increase understanding of our solar system and search for life elsewhere in the universe over a nearly two-year period through educational activities and exploration of space.
This document discusses the history and potential future of astronomy from the Moon. It outlines how the Moon provides opportunities for astronomy due to its lack of atmosphere and long lunar days. Telescopes on the Apollo missions and Chang'e 3 lander took some early ultraviolet images from the Moon. The document argues that an observatory on the far side of the Moon could benefit from radio quiet skies and that the low gravity would allow for lighter telescope structures. It compares this to how satellites revolutionized astronomy and suggests space-based interferometry and gravitational wave detection as potential future areas for lunar astronomy.
The document summarizes the International Lunar Observatory Association's (ILOA) plans for astronomy observations from the Moon. The ILOA plans to establish a multi-function lunar observatory and help build a lunar base. Key missions discussed include collaborating with Chang'e-3 in China to image galaxies, a precursor mission in 2018, and the ILO-1 South Pole mission in 2020-2022 to conduct astronomy and communications from the lunar south pole.

1. Newton's law of gravitation describes the gravitational force between two objects based on their masses and the distance between them.
2. Kepler's laws describe the motion of planets in the solar system, including that their orbits are ellipses with the sun at one focus.
3. Gravity causes objects to accelerate towards each other at a rate proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
This document discusses a study that used gravitational ray tracing (GRT) to model the orbits and impacts of meteoroids on the Moon during a lunar eclipse in January 2019. The study integrated meteoroid trajectories back in time over 2 years using the positions of the planets and the Moon from JPL ephemeris data to determine the meteoroids' origin and orbit. The GRT method generated initial conditions for the meteoroids by sampling Earth's surface with a blue noise distribution for impact location and a uniform distribution for impact velocity. This allowed the study to determine properties like the distribution of impact speeds and how the risk of impact varied over different sites on Earth throughout the day and year.
The document discusses proposals for colonizing space, including building orbital space settlements and establishing a solar system-wide web. It describes plans to use large rotating spacecraft for settlements in orbit, extracting materials from asteroids using solar sail-powered spacecraft called "AsterAnts", and developing an information power grid to coordinate exploration and reduce launch costs. The goal is for ordinary people to live and work in space permanently to support the expansion of humanity.
The document discusses space debris and active debris removal techniques. It states that space debris poses a threat to satellites and future space activities. It then describes various active debris removal concepts and technologies that could be used to remove debris from low Earth orbit (LEO) and geosynchronous orbit (GEO), such as solar sails, drag augmentation devices, electrodynamic tethers, and laser systems. Challenges to implementing effective active debris removal include the technical difficulties and high costs associated with the technologies.

Remote sensing is a method of obtaining information about an object without physical contact. It involves capturing electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted from the Earth's surface using sensors on satellites or aircraft. Satellites provide global coverage and allow monitoring of large areas over time. Data from remote sensing is used for applications like monitoring weather, climate change, agriculture, forestry, geology and more. It provides valuable data efficiently but requires expert analysis and may lack detail.
Space Debris and Present Active Debris Removal TechniquesV!vEk@nAnD S
The document discusses space debris and present active debris removal techniques. It provides an introduction to space debris, describing the current debris situation and categories. It then discusses various active debris removal concepts and techniques being researched, such as solar sails, lasers, electrodynamic tethers, and capture vehicles. Some of the challenges to implementing effective debris removal are also outlined, such as the technical difficulties, costs, and need for international cooperation and policy.
Space debris in low-Earth orbit poses a serious and growing threat. There are over 22,000 pieces of debris larger than 10 cm currently orbiting Earth, traveling at speeds sufficient to damage satellites. If left unchecked, the amount of debris will continue to grow exponentially through collisions in a process known as the Kessler Syndrome, which could render space exploration and satellite use impossible for generations. Solutions require both mitigation efforts to limit further debris creation as well as active removal of existing debris through methods like lasers, electromagnets, or debris-capturing space structures. International cooperation will be needed to implement solutions and avoid a space debris disaster.

The document summarizes India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) launched in 2013. It describes the mission objectives of exploring Mars and advancing India's deep space capabilities. The mission profile involved three phases: reaching escape velocity from Earth, a 300-day cruise to Mars along a Hohmann transfer orbit, and Mars orbit insertion using a braking maneuver. MOM successfully entered Mars orbit in 2014 and began returning data on Mars' surface and atmosphere. The mission established India as the first Asian nation to reach Mars and the first nation to succeed on its first attempt.
The document summarizes the advantages and opportunities of establishing sustainable lunar settlements. It outlines that the moon has resources like oxygen and metals, is very close to Earth with a trip taking only 3 days, and has permanently shadowed craters that contain water ice. Establishing infrastructure on the moon would make accessing other parts of the solar system easier due to lower gravity and acceleration needs. While many technical challenges remain around areas like mining water, with the right conditions and continued progress in reducing launch costs, a self-sustaining lunar economy could develop through opportunities in areas like solar power, radio astronomy, asteroid mining, and serving as a spaceport.
The document summarizes the prospect of UV observations from the Moon using a proposed UV telescope called LUCI. Some key points:
1. LUCI would be a small UV telescope (30cm aperture) to be deployed on the lunar surface by Team Indus, to take advantage of the Moon's stable environment for UV astronomy.
2. The telescope would image bright UV sources like stars and nebulae to magnitudes of 12 to study transients and variability. It would cover 60 square degrees in a lunar day.
3. The design and calibration of LUCI's optics, structure, detectors, and electronics are described, showing it can meet weight and size constraints for deployment on the lunar lander while achieving the

The document proposes a student research project called "Swachch Antariksh" to collect magnetic space debris using an electromagnet onboard a satellite. The satellite would orbit Earth collecting small debris in an aluminum alloy net and periodically depositing it. Collected debris could be disposed of in a graveyard orbit or the South Pacific Ocean. The project aims to reduce risks posed by the growing amount of orbital debris and enable continued space exploration.

The document discusses the use of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for monitoring changes in the Arctic cryosphere. UAVs have potential for frequent, year-round monitoring of areas like glaciers, sea ice, and ice sheets to provide detailed data to supplement information from satellite and aircraft campaigns. Specific projects mentioned include high-resolution mapping of the Kangerlussuaq glacier in western Greenland using a fixed-wing drone equipped with scanning lidar sensors. Ongoing research at the new Villum Station Nord science station in northern Greenland involves deploying various drones including the Penguin B for sea ice and ice sheet studies.
Space technology has many applications including space archaeology, spacecraft navigation, meteorology, space colonization, satellite technologies, military satellites, reconnaissance satellites, communications satellites, geosynchronous satellites, satellite imaging, and disaster management. Some key uses of space technology are for communication satellites, GPS navigation, weather and climate monitoring, earth observation, urban planning, agriculture, forestry, mining, environmental monitoring, and more. Space-based technologies are increasingly important for areas like disaster response, resource management, and supporting economic growth.
Space debris is a growing threat in low Earth orbit, where 70% of catalogued objects larger than 1 cm reside. Left unchecked, collisions between debris objects could cause a cascading effect known as the Kessler Syndrome that makes space unusable. Active debris removal techniques are needed to address this issue and preserve the space environment. Methods like electrodynamic tethers, nets, robotic arms, lasers, and momentum exchange devices can be used by servicer satellites to capture and remove existing debris objects, while other approaches like propulsion and solar sails allow for controlled deorbiting of satellites after their useful lifetimes.
