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

SUMMARY:China and Strategic Instability in Space
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, U.S.-China competition has intensified in outer space. U.S.-China competition above the Earth echoes many of the same tensions we see down here but carries unique risks. Nuclear entanglement\, direct-ascent anti-satellite testing and the deployment of large and very large satellite constellations are among the most urgent drivers of instability. Amid the current strains in the overall U.S.-China relationship\, coordinating action on these issues will be far from easy to achieve. Nevertheless\, there is a path forward that can lead us toward a more stable and peaceful space environment. \nJoin USIP for a discussion on strategic competition between the United States and China in space. The conversation will feature the lead author of a forthcoming USIP report on the topic\, as well as space scholars and experts from the U.S. government\, as they explore how to best tackle these complex challenges. \nTake part in the conversation on Twitter using #USChinaSpace. \nSpeakers \nBruce MacDonald – Adjunct Professor\, School of Advanced International Studies\, Johns Hopkins University; Lead Author\, “China and Strategic Instability in Space: Pathways to Peace in an Era of U.S.-China Strategic Competition” \nCarla Freeman – Senior Expert\, U.S. Institute of Peace; Report Author\, “China and Strategic Instability in Space: Pathways to Peace in an Era of U.S.-China Strategic Competition” \nBhavya Lal – Associate Administrator for Technology\, Policy\, and Strategy\, NASA \nVictoria Samson – Washington Office Director\, Secure World Foundation \nScott Pace\, moderator – Director\, Space Policy Institute\, George Washington University

SUMMARY:Whispers from Other Worlds NASA's Search for Life in the Cosmos Thomas Zurbuchen & Nadia Drake
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Zurbuchen\nRetired Director\, Science Mission Directorate\nNASA \nNadia Drake\nScience Journalist \nSponsored by the IP Law Firm of MWZB\, PC \nWhether life exists beyond Earth is among the most exciting — and toughest — mysteries that science can solve. For millennia\, humans have wondered whether we are alone in the cosmos\, but those musings lived almost exclusively in the realm of philosophy\, not science. Sixty years ago\, the first scientific search for extraterrestrial technologies was met with curiosity\, and at times cynicism and ridicule. Only recently has the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (“SETI”) begun to gain traction and legitimacy among scientists. \nLooking for life beyond Earth is now a core motivator and organizing principle for NASA’s science programs. Tiologyhe NASA Authorization Act in 2017 mandated that the space agency make “the search for life’s origin\, evolution\, distribution\, and future in the universe” one of three key exploration objectives. (The other two are to protect and Improve life on Earth and in space\, and to explore the secrets of the universe). Finding life beyond Earth is one of NASA’s most challenging goals\, and it is one of the most compelling. \nThis lecture will first frame the discussion of looking for extraterrestrial life in the context of the famed 1961 Drake equation\, a framework that connects physical\, chemical and biological processes with the development of detectable civilizations within our own galaxy. And\, though the Drake equation’s original form has survived unchanged\, we will highlight some changes in our understanding and definition of the equation’s variables – modifications that are a direct result of our growing understanding of life’s tenacity on our home world. \nThen\, adapting a methodology by Neveu’s 2018 paper in Astrobiology\, (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6211372/pdf/ast.2017.1773.pdf) the lecture will discuss three ways in which NASA’s Science program focuses on identifying signatures of life elsewhere in the universe. \nFirst\, by looking at exoplanets (worlds orbiting other stars). Estimates of life’s possible footholds on these worlds are informed by statistical results from space-based missions and detailed spectroscopic observations of planetary atmospheres. This part of the lecture is particularly timely and relevant as we are just getting the first exoplanet spectra from the James Webb Space Telescope\, and starting technology development that will enable the Habitable Worlds Explorer\, NASA’s next astrophysics flagship mission\, designed specifically to study exoplanet atmospheres and to detect possible signatures of life in their spectra. \nSecond\, moving closer to home\, NASA’s science program is focused on icy ocean worlds in our own solar system. Whether it is about gaining knowledge of planetary building blocks\, or visiting bizarre worlds such as Titan and Europa — moons of Saturn and Jupiter\, which might harbor life today — NASA is seeking to gain insights into processes that transcend the boundaries of our own world\, and might have given rise to biology elsewhere. \nThird\, the lecture will focus on Mars\, our near-Earth companion. We have a twenty-year-long history of sending rovers to the Martian surface\, and together with landers and orbiters to Mars\, we have learned that although the planet is harsh and inhospitable by our standards today\, it was once warmer and wetter — a place with considerably more promise for lifeforms to evolve and thrive\, either on or below its surface\, albeit billions of years ago. This research is culminating in the Mars Sample Return\, humankind’s first round-trip to another planet\, with the goal of delivering curated samples to the best laboratories on Earth. \nFinally\, the lecture will address NASA’s effort to define the search for techno-signatures — signs of intelligent alien civilizations. While most of these searches have historically targeted radio emissions\, the search today has broadened considerably.

SUMMARY:Beyond Earth Webinar: Artificial Gravity: From Cinema to Reality
DESCRIPTION:The Beyond Earth Institute (Beyond Earth) will be hosting a virtual policy event titled “Artificial Gravity: From Cinema to Reality” on January 18\, 2023 from 1:00-2:30 pm Eastern Time via Zoom. The event is free with donations suggested. Tickets can be obtained at the following link: https://app.tickettailor.com/events/beyondearthinstitute/808542 \nAs the global space community makes a return to the moon and sets its sight on Mars and beyond\, an exciting new era of deep space\, long-duration crewed space exploration and development is upon us. However\, as promising as our journeys beyond Earth orbit will be\, they will also carry significant health challenges for future explorers and pioneers – not least of which is body-degrading long-term exposure to microgravity. As a recent NASA Ames study concluded\, one promising countermeasure for upcoming deep space missions is artificial gravity aboard journey-bound craft. \nThe concept is far from novel. From Discovery’s rotating centrifuge in “2001: A Space Odyssey” to Mark Whitney’s Mars-bound Hermes in “The Martian\,” artificial gravity in space has long been in the public imagination. Scientists have been studying the concept since the start of the Space Age; and\, though it didn’t come to fruition\, there were even formal efforts to include an artificial gravity module – the “Nautilus X” – on the International Space Station. Today\, innovative companies such as Gravitics are actively developing stations designed around the artificial gravity environment. \nThe future expansion of humanity into the depths of the solar system will very likely rely on artificial gravity\, and the time is ripe to start demonstrating the capability. This Beyond Earth panel brings together the leading experts and executives studying and deploying artificial gravity in space for a compelling conversation on the opportunities and challenges involved in the technology\, as well as the vision for its future. \nSpeakers: \nModerator: Mike DeRosa\, Marketing and Media\, Co-Founder\, Gravitics\nTarek Waked\, Founding Partner\, Type One Ventures\nPeter Garretson\, Head\, Space Horizons Research Task Force\nDr. Janani Iyer\, Research Scientist\, USRA/NASA Ames\, Author\, Cells Report paper\nDr. Siddhita Mhatre\, Senior Scientist\, KBR/NASA Ames\, Author\, Cells Report paper\nCells Report paper: https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/pdf/S2211-1247(22)01099-3.pdf \nAbout the Beyond Earth Institute \nThe Beyond Earth Institute is a 501(c)(3) U.S. non-profit organization. It is at the heart of all related initiatives that impact the success of the space movement with respect to human expansion beyond Earth. Beyond Earth’s focus is on technology readiness\, worldwide public support\, and related public policy enactment\, including recommendations for policy initiatives. Beyond Earth conducts primary and secondary research\, then consolidates and publicizes reports to be delivered and presented widely throughout the space policy community both in the U.S. and internationally.

Using the tools of exploration\, we can better understand our world and our universe and ultimately learn more about ourselves. All discovery is interconnected\, and no important question stands alone. As NASA’s Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate\, Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen is tasked with helping us answer some of humanity’s biggest questions: Where did we come from? Are we alone? How does the universe work? Dr. Zurbuchen is well versed in the practice of asking difficult questions that help us seek interconnected answers leading to real world impacts. He is keenly interested in innovation and how leadership is developed and how the pursuit of excellence can help change the world. \nGrowing up in Switzerland\, Dr. Zurbuchen was a keen observer of the natural world from an early age. His curiosity led him to pursue degrees in physics\, and he has served on and led innovative scientific teams that have helped enlarge our perspective on the solar system and the universe. Previous points of focus have been the planet Mercury and our Sun. He was also a professor of space science and aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He was the founding director of UM’s Center for Entrepreneurship at the College of Engineering and developed and ran several campus wide innovation initiatives\, one of which led to the top-ranked undergraduate entrepreneurship program nationally. \nOn a daily basis\, Zurbuchen works to ensure that NASA’s science missions build partnerships across disciplines and with industry and other nations to generate new questions and help advance the frontiers of knowledge and exploration. He brings a wealth of scientific research\, engineering experience and hands-on knowledge to NASA’s world-class team of scientists and engineers. Zurbuchen sets the NASA Science strategy and inspires the teams to carry it out. \nDuring his career\, Zurbuchen has authored or co-authored more than 200 articles in peer reviewed journals in solar and heliospheric phenomena. He earned his doctorate and Master of Science degrees in physics from the University of Bern in Switzerland. \nDr. Zurbuchen’s honors include multiple NASA achievement awards\, induction as a member of the International Academy of Astronautics and the 2018 Heinrich-Greinacher prize\, the leading science-related recognition from the University of Bern. \nFrom NASA\, Dr. Zurbuchen has been recognized with the 2020 Outstanding Leadership Medal for leadership and critical support in leading the Science Mission Directorate\, and advancing scientific knowledge\, making a profound impact on NASA’s mission\, programs and projects\, the 2021 Presidential Rank Award\, the highest annual award for US government career senior executive service members for sustained extraordinary accomplishment\, and the 2022 Distinguished Service Medal for extraordinary contributions and outstanding leadership to NASA’s mission and the Nation’s space program.

SUMMARY:NASA SMD Biological and Physical Sciences Community Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:To increase scientific research throughput and the transparency of government funded research\, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seeks to transform the collection\, archival/preservation\, curation\, and distribution of science data. To that end\, the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) has issued new policies as described in the Scientific Information Policy (SMD Policy Document SPD-41) for the Science Mission Directorate consistent with NASA and Federal policy\, that information produced from SMD-funded scientific research activities be made publicly available. This information includes publications\, data\, and software created in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. \nThe Biological and Physical Sciences (BPS) Division now has the BPS Scientific Data Management Policy\, which defines policies and provides guidelines for managing scientific data by its programs\, projects\, investigators\, and data repositories. Application of this new policy will begin in January 2023 with newly funded research\, although all existing funded research are encouraged to follow the policy. \nBPS division will hold a community town hall on Wednesday December 14th at 12 pm Eastern Time to discuss the new policy and answer questions. \nMembers of BPS\, the science community\, academia\, and the public are invited to participate by joining at the link below: \nhttps://nasaenterprise.webex.com/nasaenterprise/j.php?MTID=m1241dbe740da379039550a3d926d6e27 \nWebinar number: 2760 286 6516 \nWebinar password: Zu82TCRaA*7 (98828272 from phones) \nJoin by phone \n+1-929-251-9612 USA Toll 2 \n+1-415-527-5035 US Toll \nAccess code: 276 028 66516 \nThe Community Town Hall will be recorded\, and the recording and presentation will be made available later that day at: science.nasa.gov.
