NASA SPACELINE Current Awareness List #654 26 June 2015

By SpaceRef Editor

June 26, 2015

Filed under ISS, Spaceline, Spaceline Current Awareness, US

Editor’s note: NASA’s various life sciences programs have prepared the SPACELINE Current Awareness updates since 1999 covering all aspects of space life science, gravitational biology, space medicine, and human factors since 1999. NASA does not maintain a website – nor does it have an archive of this resource online. However, SpaceRef does have a complete archive of SPACELINE updates all the way back to 1999 that can be accessed here: http://www.spaceref.com/news/mission.html?mid=188&page=1

A new edition of Journal Citation Reports has been released with Impact Factors based on statistics from 2014 and many of the Journal Impact Factors have changed. The Journal Impact Factors provided in this List reflect 2014 values.

Please note that the next issue of SPACELINE Current Awareness (List #655) will be sent on Thursday, July 2nd.

What is in a name? Perceived identity, classification, philosophy, and implied duty of the ‘astronaut’.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009457651500212X

Note: From the Research Aims section: “This paper provides a preliminary survey of names and conceptual terms for ‘astronaut’. The aim is threefold: first, to conduct a global survey to aid in understanding the cultural landscape and social psychology for defining space-faring people across disciplines. The second aim is to identify and distinguish problematic and outdated labels that may require reclassification or clarification to meet new commercial space activities and regulation. Lastly, our contribution highlights the practical implications for these labels, to include potential and actual ethical and legal consequences specific to the role of the nametag identified.”
