Its been awhile since the last entry but it has also been a pretty busy two weeks. Our respective teams (Brian in Space Traffic Management and myself in On-Orbit Servicing) met over a period of two weeks to research, talk to experts, gather ideas, and write our perspective for a 100-page report that is being published. Like any international body, things dont really run smoothly nor are expedient. So, the last few days have been writing and editing sprees until 7 or 8 in the morning! Only one deliverable remains, the presentation, on Thursday before the closing ceremonies. The projects are likely to gain attention on the international level. Already, some have had media spotlight (Lunar Archive on National Geographic: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/08/070814-lunar-ark.html), or will be briefed at conferences around the World (Space Traffic Management's legal framework for managing debris and spacecraft in orbit to be presented at several locations). I'll try to get the cover art put up here when I get all the project papers.
There have been no strange foods Ive discovered this week...Im even embarrassed to say that the class ordered pizza and McDonalds delivered while we worked!
Here is a photo of our rocket launch contest a couple weeks ago, set off in the soccer field of the university. There were limits on flight time and height and each rocket contained an egg that had to be safely recovered with its parachute. You can see the huge economics and management building behind the field. We had most of our lectures in this impressive building.
That's it! We'll do one more entry and then call it a summer!
