SUMMARY:NASA Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Meeting
DESCRIPTION:NASA is holding a public meeting at 10:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday\, May 31\, of its independent study team  on categorizing and evaluating data of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The agency also will host a media teleconference at the conclusion of the meeting. \nThe full meeting will air on NASA Television\, the NASA app\, and the agency’s website through 2:30 p.m. Watch online at: https://www.nasa.gov/live \nNASA defines UAP as observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena from a scientific perspective. The focus of this public meeting is to hold final deliberations before the agency’s independent study team publishes a report this summer. \nOutlining how to evaluate and study UAP by using data\, technology\, and the tools of science is a NASA priority. It is not a review or assessment of previous unidentifiable observations. The report will inform NASA on what possible data could be collected in the future to shed light on the nature and origin of UAP. \nPublic Comment\nIn accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act\, the meeting includes an opportunity for public comment. NASA will accept questions beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday\, May 12\, at: https://nasa.cnf.io/sessions/hh4r/ \nNASA Media Teleconference \nAt 3 p.m.\, NASA will hold a virtual post-meeting media teleconference\, which the agency will stream audio live on its website. Participants include: \n\nDan Evans\, assistant deputy associate administrator for research\, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate\nDavid Spergel\, president\, Simons Foundation and Chair of NASA’s UAP independent study team\nOther members of the UAP independent study team\n\nTo participate by telephone\, media must RSVP no later than two hours before the start of the event to Katherine Rohloff at: katherine.a.rohloff@nasa.gov. \nNASA’s media accreditation policy is available online. \nThe UAP independent study team is a counsel of 16 community experts across diverse areas on matters relevant to potential methods of study for unidentified anomalous phenomena. NASA commissioned the nine-month study to examine UAP from a scientific perspective and create a roadmap for how to use data and the tools of science to move our understanding of UAP forward. Right now\, the limited high-quality observations of UAP make it impossible to draw scientific conclusions from the data about the nature of such events. \nA clean feed of the meeting will be available on the agency’s YouTube channel. \nFor more information on NASA’s UAP independent study team\, visit: https://science.nasa.gov/uap/faqs \n\n[Federal Register Volume 88\, Number 93 (Monday\, May 15\, 2023)] [Notices] [Page 31038] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2023-10219] \nNATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION \n[Notice: 23-050] \nEarth Science Advisory Committee; Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Independent Study Team; Meeting \nAGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration. \nACTION: Notice of meeting. \nSUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act\, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announces a meeting of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Independent Study Team (UAPIST) Subcommittee of the Earth Science Advisory Committee.

SUMMARY:“Making It” in Space: The Market Potential for Commercial Space Stations – and its Long-Term Implications
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 23\, 2023\, 1:00pm – 2:30pm EST \nThe Beyond Earth Institute (Beyond Earth) will be hosting a virtual policy event titled “‘Making It’ in Space: The Market Potential for Commercial Space Stations – and its Long-Term Implications” on March 23\, 2023 from 1:00-2:00 pm Eastern Time via Zoom. The event is free with donations suggested. Tickets can be obtained at the following link: https://buytickets.at/beyondearthinstitute/869871 \nWhat does the future hold for us “making it” – literally – in outer space? The emergence of an in-space economy and marketplace\, enabled by platforms such as space stations\, has long been envisioned\, studied\, debated\, and discussed. From reports on the potential utilization of the then-proposed Space Station Freedom\, to recent market analysis of privately owned and operated stations\, the space community and industries beyond have considered many possibilities for profitable in-space applications. \nA “killer app” remains to be found\, and questions have lingered about the use\, to-date\, of the International Space Station as a market catalyst. But\, with cargo\, crew\, and now private astronaut missions routinely flying to station\, an exciting new era of robust space utilization is upon us. \nAnd\, as NASA looks toward a future where it is just one of many users of private stations\, a vibrant new ecosystem of commercial in-space habitats is developing. The owners\, operators\, and users of these stations are placing their bets that a range of in-space applications – from tourism and pharmaceuticals\, to manufacturing and materials science\, and beyond – will create the marketplace needed for a sustainable future in orbit. \nJoin the Beyond Earth Institute and expert guests – including representatives of different possible market segments for in-space habitats – on Thursday\, March 23\, from 1 – 2:30 pm (ET) for a lively discussion on the near- and long-term market potential for commercial space stations. What might the economic growth curve look like for commercial stations? What applications are most likely to create the first profits for habitat operators and users? Which might be the most sustainable? How could international interest factor into a station-derived economy\, both in the near future and further out? And\, importantly\, how will the emergent markets enabled by commercial space stations play into the future of humanity’s life and work in the solar system? \nSpeakers: \nModerator: Courtney Stadd\, VP Ecosystem Engagement\, Beyond Earth Institute\nPhil McAlister\, Director of Commercial Spaceflight Division\, NASA Headquarters\nOlivia Gamez Holzhaus\, Founder and CEO\, Rhodium Scientific\nTom Shelley\, President\, Space Adventures

SUMMARY:The Beyond Earth Institute: Paving the “Rules of the Road” toward Space Migration
DESCRIPTION:The Beyond Earth Institute (Beyond Earth) will be hosting a virtual policy event titled “Paving the ‘Rules of the Road’ toward Space Migration” on February 16\, 2023 from 1:00-2:15 pm Eastern Time via Zoom. The event is free with donations suggested. Tickets can be obtained at the following link: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/beyondearthinstitute/837587 \nThe upcoming chapter of the 21st Century “Space Age” will be transformative for the future of the United States – and humanity. With it\, a new of thinking about developing\, as well as living in\, space is emerging. The commercialization and democratization of space is leading focus away from exclusively government-led “aspirational” programs in favor of “practical\, tangible\, equitable” projects driven and fueled by the private sector. Recognizing this shift\, the Beyond Earth Institute believes that the U.S. Government should frame its audacious goal of returning to the Moon and establishing a permanent human presence not as the narrow technocratic goals of a federal bureaucracy – but as part of America’s historic commitment to pioneering and settling new frontiers. \nTo that end\, the Beyond Earth Institute has produced a report\, “Emerging Space Industrial Ecosystem Leading to Eventual Beyond Earth Migration\,” that recommends a shift in the fundamental role of government in space. Rather than being the “leader” of the private sector\, dictating development\, operation\, and ownership of space activities\, the government should be the “lead stimulator” of such activities. It should “set the rules of the road\,” rather than “owning it” – by promoting and encouraging off-planet expansion\, providing security\, and\, most importantly\, being a customer\, not a competitor\, for off-planet goods and services. \nJoin the Beyond Earth Institute’s Courtney Stadd and Robert Brumley\, both prominent long-term advocates of effective commercial space policy and the co-authors of the report\, for a conversation with other thought leaders on the report’s observations\, findings\, and recommendations – and a discussion on the implications of the emerging space industrial base on humanity’s eventual migration Beyond Earth. Brumley will share his latest thinking on how we can begin the process of converting policy to programs.\nSpeakers: \nModerator: Steve Wolfe\, President\, Beyond Earth Institute \n– Courtney Stadd\, Ecosystem Engagement\, VP\, Beyond Earth Institute\n– John Neal\, Executive Director\, Space Policy. U.S. Chamber of Commerce\n– Bob Brumley\, Advisor\, Beyond Earth Institute
