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.

Blue Origin has had several successful suborbital flights with paying participants\, and Virgin Galactic has scheduled their first operational flight for later this month. SpaceX is flying ambitious\, fully private orbital missions as well as delivering NASA and international crew members to and from the International Space Station. Both Boeing and Sierra Nevada are developing their own crewed systems. \nAs this sector grows\, questions and debate – philosophical\, political\, and practical – about how government policy should promote improved occupant safety are coming to the fore. Should the status quo restriction on regulation of vehicle design\, manufacturing\, and operation continue? What is the role of industry safety standards\, and should the government seek authority to enforce them? Are unrestricted innovation and competition the best path to safety\, or should the federal government be granted authority and responsibility for the safety of commercial human spaceflight? \nWhen Congress passed the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004\, it recognized that commercial human spaceflight was an experimental and risky activity. However\, Congress also required operators to inform customers of their safety records so people could make an informed choice based on levels of risk. And for some number of years\, the Secretary of Transportation could only regulate operators in response to a demonstrated problem (in a flight accident or safety incident). \nThat spaceflight regulatory “learning period\,” restricting the FAA from issuing operating requirements and design regulations for human occupant safety\, is now scheduled to expire in the fall of this year. Proponents of the learning period maintain that the human spaceflight industry is still too immature\, technologies and designs still too iterative\, and best practices still in rapid flux to be subject to prospective safety regulations. Others\, including the FAA and a recent RAND report\, conclude that\, despite a limited body of reference knowledge and nascent industry consensus standards\, the time is right to enable unrestricted regulation. Still others believe that this is a false choice\, arguing that allowing more regulation will not replace or strengthen the informed consent regime\, nor is regulatory authority necessary to take other steps to promote safety. \nThis Beyond Earth Institute conversation convenes leading experts in space policy\, regulation\, and law – who have firsthand experience with human spaceflight safety policies and regulations from their work in industry and on Capitol Hill – for a nuanced look at the topic broadly. How should we approach the notion of human spaceflight safety and “risk?” What is\, or should be\, the appropriate role of a regulator and regulations? How important\, if at all\, are enforced (as opposed to voluntary) industry safety standards for the future of humans living and working in space? Throughout the discussion\, panelists will address the implications of ending the learning period\, strengthening or replacing the informed consent regime\, and the impacts these and other options may have on the future of commercial human spaceflight. \nSpeakers: \nModerator: Courtney Stadd\, Vice President\, Beyond Earth\n– Jim Muncy\, Principal\, PoliSpace\n– Caryn Schenewerk\, President\, CS Consulting\n– George Nield\, President\, Commercial Space Technologies\, LLC\n– Bruce McClintock\, Senior Policy Researcher\, RAND

SUMMARY:Brines Across the Solar System: Ancient and Future Brines
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Location and Dates \nWe are happy to announce the final conference of the LPI’s Brines Across the Solar System series. The Ancient and Future Brines conference is scheduled for May 15–18\, 2023\, in Reno\, Nevada. The conference format will be hybrid with in-person and virtual attendance opportunities and an optional field trip on May 19. \nThis is the final conference of the Brines Across the Solar System series. \nSeries Purpose and Scope \nlogA Salty aqueous solutions (i.e.\, brines) are prominent across diverse planetary bodies. They are observed in the gas plumes presently erupting from Enceladus\, reconstructed from precipitates on the surface of Ceres and Mars\, and inferred from meteoritic samples. Understanding the mechanisms that led to the formation and preservation of these brine systems provides vital clues to their role in geological\, geophysical\, environmental\, and biological processes. In this conference series\, we will address questions relating to the thermodynamics and physiochemistry of brines\, as well as their occurrence today and throughout time in our solar system and beyond. \nConference Objectives \nThe Brines Across the Solar System: Ancient and Future Brines conference focuses on integrating diverse fields of study\, such as geology\, mineralogy\, (astro)biology\, chemistry\, planetary science\, physics\, technology\, and engineering. The emphasis for this conference will be the intersections of these fields as they apply to understanding: \n– The formation\, location\, and potential habitability of ancient brines on early planetary bodies\n– The role of ancient brines in the origins of life and habitable environments\n– The technology involved in the detection and characterization of brines on planetary bodies (both in situ and in returned samples)\n– The technology involved in mitigating brines in the detection and characterization of biosignatures\n– The role and impact of brine systems for In Situ Resource Utilization

SUMMARY:ESA Webinar on Accessibility in Human Spaceflight
DESCRIPTION:What are the next steps for making human spaceflight more inclusive\, accessible\, and safer? How can designing for space accessibility improve accessibility on Earth? Where does ESA’s parastronaut feasibility project stand? \nOn Thursday\, 11 May 2023 at 15:00-17:00 CEST\, [9:00 am EDT – 11:00 am EDT] join the webinar organised by ESA’s Advanced Concepts Team and ESA’s Chief Diversity Officer\, with the support of the non-profit BIRNE7 e.V. \nClick here: https://esacontact.esa.int/event/sessions?id=Accessibility_in_Human_Spaceflight2224318998 to register to the seminar on Thursday\, 11 May 2023\, 15:00 to 17:00 CEST. \nFor the past six decades\, humanity has witnessed approximately 630 astronauts leave Earth for orbital missions of short or long duration. In recent years\, diversity in human spaceflight has increased\, in terms of gender\, culture\, age\, nationality and disability. \nThe launch of ESA’s parastronaut feasibility project\, along with the selection of the first astronaut with a physical disability\, has brought greater attention to the conversation about accessibility. As we prepare to return to the Moon\, making space travel accessible to all is a game-changer. \nThe purpose of this webinar is to shed light on the importance of designing space architecture and technologies that are safe\, accessible\, and sustainable. We will explore how designing for space accessibility can improve accessibility on Earth and learn more about ESA’s parastronaut feasibility project. \nProgramme \n– Welcome remarks: Ersilia Vaudo\, ESA Chief Diversity Officer\n– Space for Persons with Disabilities. Pushing frontiers while leaving no one behind: Xing Yi Ang\, UNOOSA Associate Scientific Affairs Officer\n– Fly! Feasibility Study: Jerome Reineix\, ESA Project Controller for Human and Robotic Exploration\n– The Human Factor in the Formulation of Space Architecture: Daniel Inocente\, BlueOrigin Senior Space Architect\n– The Feasibility of an Accessible Lunar Base: Antonia Sattler\, former ESA Advanced Concepts Team\n– AstroAccess Design Case Study. Making Space Accessible for Everyone: Anastasia Prosina\, Stellar Amenities CEO and Founder\n– Q&A session (15-20 mins) \nThe webinar is open to all.

SUMMARY:Your Place In Space Challenge Virtual Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the Your Place in Space Challenge at the May 10 virtual information session. Representatives from the U.S. Department of Education and NASA will present an in-depth overview of the challenge and answer questions. Questions can be submitted in advance through the registration form. A video recording and summary of questions and answers will be published following the session. \nThe Your Place in Space Challenge is a CTE Momentum challenge to create new solutions for space. The U.S. Department of Education invites high schools to submit entries that demonstrate a product or service that will contribute to space missions and exploration. \nIn the five decades since astronauts first walked on the Moon\, space has become an important part of the American economy. Today\, the space industry employs hundreds of thousands of people and generates hundreds of billions of dollars in economic value. Activities in space are critical to life on Earth — powering navigation\, connectivity\, logistics\, agricultural management\, security\, and more. Our continued exploration of space also inspires wonder\, discovery\, and technological advancement. \nSpace careers promise higher-than-average wages and strong growth expectations over the coming decades. Yet private-sector and public-sector entities already struggle to fill critical roles\, from engineers and technicians to machinists and communications professionals. The space industry is expected to triple in size over the next 30 years\, employing over 1.5 million people and generating $780 billion in economic activity by 2050 — but without a skilled workforce\, that vision will never become a reality. \nAlthough astronauts attract significant public attention\, the vast majority of people who make space missions and space exploration possible perform their jobs on Earth. Space missions are a team sport: Trainers prepare astronauts for the physical demands of space flight; welders manufacture spacecraft; chefs design menus and prepare food; data scientists analyze Earth observation data; botanists create methods to grow plants in microgravity. Almost any career can be a space career.
