Im Oktober 2024 besuchte ich wieder einen International Astronautical Congress, kurz IAC. Dabei war ich zwei Tage auf der Hauptveranstaltung, am dritten Tag machte ich eine technische Exkursion zu den Unternehmen Thales Alenia Space und ALTEC. In dieser Episode gibt es eine ganze Reihe Interviews von der Veranstaltung, dazu ein paar eigene Erfahrungen und Eindrücke von mir. Ich sprach mit Alexander Gerst und Daniel Neuenschwander von der ESA über das Programm Moonlight, mit dem Projektmanager Yuichi Tsuda von der Hayabusa 2-Mission und mit einigen mehr.
Vi er blevet inspireret af den seneste Starship-test til at se nærmere på de helt store raketter, fra Saturn V og frem. Efter mange år med rumfærger og mindre raketter er der nu for alvor ved at være konkurrence på markedet for raketter over 100 meter… I de korte nyheder ser vi på ESAs idé om at ville reparere satellitter, på kommunikationsnetværket Moonlight, og på flotte nye data fra Euclid-missionen. Endelig skal vi selvfølgelig gætte en rumlyd! Lyt med

Are you interested in space colonisation? Summary of the article titled Space colonization: A study of supply and demand from 2011 by Dr. Dana Andrews, Gordon R. Woodcock, and Brian Bloudek, presented at the 62nd International Astronautical Congress. This is a great preparation to our next panel conversation with Dr Anders Sandberg, Xavier de Kestelier, and Thomas Gooch in episode 250 talking about space cities and their different aspects. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how space colonization and thus space cities can be approached from the supply and demand perspective. This article looks at the fundamental economics of people working (and playing) in space, and shows scenarios that should result in successful colonies on the moon. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: The development of lunar colonies is a natural progression, beginning with tele-operated mining and evolving into human presence as the need for maintenance and oversight grows. Lunar mining offers a solution to Earth's dwindling metal resources, with the Moon's vast reserves becoming economically viable as terrestrial supplies run low. Achieving affordable space access through reusable launch systems and infrastructure like Tether Upper Stages (TUS) and Space Operations Centers (SOC) is crucial for successful lunar operations. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: This paper steps back and looks at the fundamental economics of people working (and playing) in space, and shows scenarios that should result in successful colonies on the moon. The basic premise is the ever increasing cost of industrial metals necessary to generate renewable energy for a growing world population, and the relative abundance of those same metals on the near side of the moon. There is a crossover point, relatively soon, where it is cheaper and more environmentally friendly to mine the moon instead of the increasingly poor ores remaining on earth. At that point government and industry can form a partnership much like The Railroad Act of 1862 to incentivise construction of the transportation infrastructure and lunar mining equipment. The economics say the initial mining equipment will be tele-operated from earth, but over time the requirement for human maintenance and repair seems inescapable. We foresee a government presence on the moon almost from the start of the prospector phase to enhance safety and insure law and order, and those initial bases will eventually grow into towns and colonies.

From the Kennedy Space Center to Apollo Mission Control to SpaceX's Starbase, Rod and Tariq discuss the coolest space places on Earth for you to visit. Some are grand, a few are funky, but they are all great places to enjoy the finest moments in space exploration... and there are some hidden gems you shouldn't miss! Join us for this first installment of the Greatest Space Places, Phase One: USA! Headlines: Virgin Galactic's fourth commercial spaceflight launches first Pakistani woman astronaut Namira Salim. Salim flew with two other passengers on the successful suborbital flight. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk speaks at the International Astronautical Congress, gives an update on Starship development. Musk says there is a "decent chance" Starship could reach orbit this year if engines fire properly. Also discussed upgrades to increase lift capacity. Fashion brand Prada partners with spacesuit maker Axiom Space to design stylish spacesuits for NASA's Artemis moon missions. Prada will apply expertise in materials science and textiles. Strange press release claims discovery of alien life, but only offers blurry photo of a dog staring at a wall as proof. Self-published book also promoted. Main Topic: Favorite Space Places Kennedy Space Center in Florida has both a visitor complex and active facilities. Highlights include the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, Saturn V Center, Apollo-era launch pads, and bus tours to see current operations. Johnson Space Center in Houston is home to historic Mission Control and astronaut training facilities. Nearby Space Center Houston houses space artifacts like the Saturn V rocket. The National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC contains extensive aviation and space history exhibits, including the original Wright Flyer, Mercury and Gemini capsules, and a Skylab module you can enter. SpaceX's Starbase test facility in South Texas allows the public to view Starship development up close from nearby roads. Launch attempts draw big crowds for a party-like atmosphere. Other favorites highlighted: the Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles Airport, California Science Center, Wallops Flight Facility, Kansas Cosmosphere, and more. There are many unique sites around the country for space fans to explore.

But it's been a long time since the New Shepard fleet has seen any action, with the last test flight (featuring the same rocket launching today) taking place back in December 2019. In April, at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US, the company had hoped to conduct another New Shepard test launch, despite concerns voiced by employees at the time. That launch was ultimately delayed, and Blue Origin waited until late September to try again, though it had to push the launch back until this week due to a power supply issue. One NASA experiment will actually remain mounted to the outside of the rocket for the entire flight. Called “Safe and Precise Landing – Integrated Capabilities Evolution,” or SPLICE for short, this payload is equipped with sensors, instruments, and software that NASA has developed to help future crewed and robotic spacecraft land on the Moon. New Shepard's flight profile makes it a great testbed for trying out lunar landing technologies, says NASA. The rocket takes off vertically from the ground, flying up to around 62 miles high, where any passengers inside would experience microgravity. (Similarly, lunar landers also experience microgravity and the vacuum of space before touching down on the Moon.) After reaching space, the crew capsule detaches from the rest of the rocket, and both vehicles fall back down to Earth. A series of parachutes deploy to land the crew capsule safely on the ground while the rocket reignites its engine to land upright. Lunar landers also employ similar landing techniques on the Moon, using onboard engines to slow down and touch down gently on the lunar surface. During that descent and landing, NASA's SPLICE experiment will be collecting a whole lot of data. NASA delays launch of Crew-1 mission with SpaceX to early November Link: https://newatlas.com/space/nasa-crew-1-spacex-launch-delay-november/ SpaceX and NASA appeared all set to kick off a new era in spaceflight later this month, with the Crew-1 mission to the International Space Station scheduled for October 31. That date has now been pushed back following a mishap on the launchpad during a separate SpaceX mission earlier this month, with the agency allowing the company time to get to the bottom of the issue before launching its astronauts into space for just the second time. But plans for a late October lift-off have been scrubbed in favor of an early-to-mid November launch, NASA announced this week. This is to provide ”additional time for SpaceX to complete hardware testing and data reviews as the company evaluates off-nominal behavior of Falcon 9 first stage engine gas generators observed during a recent non-NASA mission launch attempt,” The incident it refers to took place on October 3, as SpaceX prepared to launch a satellite into space for the US Airforce using its Falcon 9 rocket. The launch was aborted prior to take off, which CEO Elon Musk went on to explain on Twitter was the result of unexpected pressure build up in the turbomachinery gas generator, which powers the rocket's Merlin engines. US Army Partners With SpaceX to Deliver Military Cargo Anywhere In an Hour Link: https://www.thedefensepost.com/2020/10/13/spacex-military-cargo/ The US military is partnering with Elon Musk's SpaceX to explore the possibility of transporting military systems in a rocket anywhere on the globe in merely 60 minutes. While the project will assess the costs and technical challenges of the project, General Stephen Lyons, head of US Transportation Command, said that the initial tests can be expected by as early as 2021. “Think about moving the equivalent of a C-17 payload anywhere on the globe in less than an hour,” Lyons asked a virtual audience on October 7. No Need for Air Refueling Apart from a quantum jump in speed, the technology also eliminates the en-route stops or air refueling, a necessity of present cargo aircraft, allowing point-to-point rapid movement of resources. Before that, Musk had discussed the concept of traveling in a space rocket in 2017 at the International Astronautical Congress. “So, most of what people consider to be long distance trips would be completed in less than half an hour,” he said in the presentation showing passengers in New York City boarding a Starship-class rocket for a 40-minute trip to Shanghai. A mini moon about to orbit Earth may actually be a piece of space junk from the 1960s Link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/10/12/2020-so-mini-moon-orbit-earth-nasa-surveyor-2-rocket/5965360002/ An asteroid likely to get caught in Earth's orbit and become a "mini moon" for several months may in fact not be an asteroid at all. Dubbed 2020 SO, the object is on track to be pulled into Earth's orbit in the coming weeks and circle the planet until it returns to its own track. But instead of being space rock, experts think it is actually part of a rocket from a failed moon-landing mission in 1966. "I'm pretty jazzed about this," Paul Chodas, director of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told The Associated Press. "It's been a hobby of mine to find one of these and draw such a link, and I've been doing it for decades now." Mini moons – objects that temporarily orbit Earth – are rare. While more have likely occurred over history, only two have been confirmed: one from 2006 to 2007 and another discovered earlier this year that was in orbit from 2018 to 2020, according to space and astronomy news outlet Universe Today. The object is also moving much slower than scientists would expect a similar asteroid to move. "The velocity seems to be a big one," space archaeologist Alice Gorman of Flinders University in Australia told science news outlet ScienceAlert. "What I'm seeing is that it's just moving too slowly, which reflects its initial velocity. That's essentially a big giveaway." Based on its brightness, 2020 SO is roughly 26 feet long. The Centaur rocket stage from the Surveyor 2 mission is less than 32 feet long and 10 feet in diameter. Carrie Nugent, an asteroid hunter at Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Massachusetts, told the AP that the conclusion that the object is space junk is “a good one.” Show Stuff Join the episode after party on Discord!

An audio essay that reflects on our conversations at the 70th International Astronautical Congress in Washington DC. In this episode, Joseph Popper and Sitraka Rakotoniaina explore what diversity can mean at the largest gathering of the space industry. We speak to artists, designers, engineers and anthropologists who share their experiences of the congress and tell us about their different practices. From the conversations, we learn that outer space exploration demands multicultural and multidisciplinary approaches, in action and in attitude. Thanks to our interviewees, Tamara Alvarez, Nelly Ben Hayoun, Sands Fish, Barbara Imhof, Prathima Muniyappa, Ufuoma Ovienmhada, Angelo Vermeulen and Chris Welch, for sharing their thoughts with us.
Last October I attended the 70th International Astronautical Congress in Washington DC. IAC is a massive conference, bringing together thousands of people who work in the space sector from national agency representatives to defence practitioners to those in private industry.In this episode I speak with three Australians at the conference who give 3 different perspectives on Space. They are Adam Gilmour (Gilmour Space), Malcolm Davis (ASPI) and William Crowe (HEO Robotics).http://www.gspacetech.com/https://www.aspi.org.au/bio/malcolm-davishttps://www.heo-robotics.com/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/space-junk-podcast.

In this episode I speak with Dr Moriba Jah, an Associate Professor and the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics.Moriba Jah is the director for Computational Astronautical Sciences and Technologies (CAST), a group within the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. He is also the Lead for the Space Security and Safety Program at the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law. Moriba came to UT Austin by way of the Air Force Research Laboratory and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory prior to that, where he was a Spacecraft Navigator on a handful of Mars missions.Moriba is a Fellow of multiple organizations: TED, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), American Astronautical Society (AAS), International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS), Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). He has served on the US delegation to the United Nations Committee On Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN-COPUOS), is an elected Academician of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), and has testified to congress on his work as related to Space Situational Awareness and Space Traffic Management. He's an Associate Editor of the Elsevier Advances in Space Research journal, and serves on multiple committees: IAA Space Debris, AIAA Astrodynamics, IAF Astrodynamics, and IAF Space Security.While in the US last year for the International Astronautical Congress, Moriba and I got talking at a dodgy bar in DC. Some drinks later, we decided to get together over Skype and record this episode. We chat about tackling fear in the face of adversity, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and what it all has to do with Space sustainability.Music (as requested by Moriba): 'The Voice' by Celtic Woman Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/space-junk-podcast.

Hi, I’m Marc Boucher and this is the SpaceQ podcast. We have a special podcast from the recent International Astronautical Congress in Washington, the Heads of Emerging Agencies plenary. This a new plenary session at the IAC. And while we’re accustomed to a plenary featuring the heads of legacy national space agencies from the US, Russia, Japan, India, Europe, China and Canada, it’s only in the past few years that the voices of emerging space nations are starting to reach a global audience. This panel offers the listener an opportunity to learn about programs from some of the emerging space nations along with their thoughts on a host of issues facing all nations. In this panel you’ll hear from space leaders from the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Thailand, Brazil and Angola. The panel is moderated by Pontsho Maruping, Chair of the Scientific and Technical Committee, United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), South Africa. The panelists include: * Mohammed Nasser Al Ahbabi, Director General, UAE Space Agency (UAESA),United Arab Emirates. * Valanathan Munsami, CEO, South African National Space Agency (SANSA), South Africa. * Anond Snidvongs, Executive Director, Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), Thailand. * Carlos Augusto Teixeira de Moura, President, Brazilian Space Agency (AEB), Brazil. * Zolana Rui Joao, General Manager, National Space Program Management Office (GGPEN), Angola. We’ve edited the recording removing individual introductions to keep the podcast within a reasonable length. Listen in.

Welcome back to Max Q, our weekly look at what's happening in space and space startup news. This week was a bit more quiet than usual coming off of the amazingly over-packed International Astronautical Congress, but there were still some big moves that promise a lot more action to come before they year's over – particularly in the race to fly American astronauts to space on a rocket launched from American soil once again.
Heuréka-élmény jövőkutató rovatunkban Dr. Pacher Tibor, a Puli Space alapítója, igazgatója beszélt az okt. 21-25. között zajlott 70. International Astronautical Congress-ről. Melyek a jövő ígéretei? Újra fókuszban van a hold? A tőzsdenyitásban Ritók Lajos, az Equilor Befektetési Zrt. üzletkötője mondta el, mi emelkedik és mi nem a Budapesti Értéktőzsdén. MIhálovits gazda pedig a New York Times EU-t és Magyarországot szapuló, agrártámogatások témájával foglalkozó cikkét magyarázta.
How can a simple report—just words on a page—lead to creation of a spacecraft? We explore how a 2019 report on the need for a dedicated, space-based telescope to find threatening near-Earth asteroids motivated NASA to pursue that very mission. We speak with Dr. Jay Melosh, planetary scientist and chair of the National Academies committee behind that report, on how it came together and how the process works behind the scenes. We also check on NASA's budget process in Congress and news from the International Astronautical Congress in Washington, D.C.

This interview with S Somanath (director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre) and R Umamaheshwaran (Scientific Secretary) was recorded on 24th October 2019 during the International Astronautical Congress in Washington DC. It was not focused on a specific theme but rather an update on all things ISRO - current and future activities. The post Episode 90 – An update on ISRO’s activities with S Somanath and R Umamaheshwaran appeared first on AstrotalkUK.
Nothing lasts forever, not even unchallenged U.S. leadership in space. For a long time, U.S. astronauts have had to buy trips on Soviet launches to get to low earth orbit. But that's all changing. At this week's International Astronautical Congress in Washington, NASA is taking the opportunity to show off its exploration chops. Deputy Administrator Jim Morhard told Federal Drive with Tom Temin, that includes its plans to send a man and a women to the moon by 2024.

Last week part two of our our three part podcast Summer Series was on the Future of Nuclear Powered Space Exploration which will one day increase our ability to explore the solar system. This week In episode 3, the topic is Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species. Our Summer Series features recent important talks on topics we think you’ll find interesting. Our regular interviews will resume the first week in September. The speaker this week is SpaceX founder Elon Musk. In this talk at the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide just about a year ago, Musk discusses the long-term technical challenges that need to be solved to support the creation of a permanent, self-sustaining human presence on Mars. It's not a project that SpaceX can do alone. To build a sustaining human presence on Mars will require the collaboration of industry, government and the scientific community. Listen in...

On this episode of Eclipse on Tap, co-hosts Matt and David discuss upcoming eclipse news including the total lunar eclipse on January 31st, 2018. The International Astronautical Congress meeting in late September was also a topic of discussion, specifically Elon Musk's plan to potentially return to the moon. A new addition to the program for this month is a portion featuring an astronaut. This month's feature was Gene Cernan, the "Last Man on the Moon". Matt and David discuss Gene Cernan's lasting impression on the world of space exploration. The episode wraps with this month's featured planet: Venus! NOTE: there are a few points during this podcast where there is some clipping from a frequency in the room we were recording in. Each instance only lasts approximately 10 seconds. We are working on fixing this minor issue for next time. -Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @eclipseontap -Check out our website at www.eclipseontap.space -Email us at eclipseontap@gmail.com -If you support our podcast, drop us a rating or review on Apple Podcasts!

Obwohl wir auch echte Raumfahrtthemen in dieser Folge besprechen, haben wir uns es nicht nehmen lassen auch über die neue Star Trek Serie "Discovery" zu reden. Die Grenzen zwischen echter Raumfahrt und Science-Fiction verschwimmt dann, wenn wir über Elon Musks Vortrag auf dem International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide reden. Danach diskutieren was alles verschoben wurde und warum Inuit gegen den Start von Sentinel-5P waren.
In September 2017, Elon Musk walked out on stage at the International Astronautical Congress and updated everyone on SpaceX's latest plans. Time for a Geek Out! But first, an update on all of SpaceX's projects, including Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and the Interplanetary Transport System. Then into the new stuff - the next iteration of the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) that Elon says will replace all three systems. The BFR is bigger than the Falcon, smaller than the ITS (which likely will never be built), uses a smaller version of the Raptor methane engine and should be able to lift 150MT to Low Earth Orbit with 100% reusability. If SpaceX makes the BFR work, the price of spaceflight will drop to pennies a kilogram. Can it be true?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

Last year, Elon Musk took to the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara Mexico to unveil the Interplanetary Transport System. A year later, he is set to deliver an update on the plan, and SPEXcast sits down to discuss what potential changes we might see in the architecture.
The Space Innovation and Growth Strategy (South Australia): Action Plan 2016-2020 is designed to grow our economy through space activity, stimulate innovation in South Australia in the sector, and explore greater cooperation with leading global space players. Find out more from the Chair of the Space Industry Association and head of the IAC Local Organising Committee Michael Davis, CE of Fleet Space Technologies Flavia Tata Nardini and CE of Inovor Technologies Matthew Tetlow who discuss the opportunities to be explored at the International Astronautical Congress, which lands in Adelaide next week.
We begin this episode with an ending, as Rosetta joined its companion, Philae, on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko on September 30, with confirmation arriving at mission control in Darmstadt at 11:19 UTC. This is hardly a time for mourning, but rather the celebration of an ambitious mission accomplished and still more data to learn from. While we await those studies we invite you to check out the latest installment of Rosetta's cartoon and the short film Ambition. Meanwhile, back in the States, Orbital ATK was preparing to return the Antares to flight. Carrying their Cygnus cargo ship full of supplies headed to the International Space Station, this launch has been plagued by storms in the Atlantic and other delays, and our own Gene Mikulka headed down early to keep an eye on the process and discusses what this launch means for the launch facility, the area around it, as well as for Orbital ATK and NASA. Speaking of recovering from mishaps, this brings us down to the Kennedy Space Center and the investigation of what happened with SpaceX' AMOS-6. Was it the second stage helium tank… or could it have been sabotage? The Washington Post reports that an official from SpaceX wanted to investigate the roof of a United Launch Alliance building known as the SMARF. We discuss the rumors, innuendo, known facts, and when there might be some concrete answers that will allow SpaceX to prepare for future launches safely. Looking further ahead, how will this incident affect the larger space industry? Looking still further ahead, we begin our coverage of the 67th International Astronautical Congress with a breakdown of Elon Musk's presentation, Making Humans an Interplanetary Species with insights from in the room by Kat Robison and Kassy Tamanini. Is Musk's plan to not only have SpaceX be the first to land on Mars but to move 100 people at a time to the red planet realistic? From the details he revealed (and didn't) to the way the event was managed, we've got plenty to comment on. An image was inserted here. To view it, visit http://talkingspaceonline.com.

On September 27, 2016, Elon Musk held a press conference that was more like a rock concert to an excited crowd at the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico. At the event, he announced the Interplanetary Transport System (ITS) and a plan to move a million people to Mars by 2050. How viable is this? Time for a Geek Out! Richard reviews the design of the Raptor engine, the ITS booster and spacecraft and the entire plan. This rocket is many times more powerful than anything ever built before. Will it work? What could you do with a rocket with this much power beyond the mission to Mars? Lots of possibilities!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

On September 8 an Atlas V carrying the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission took off from Cape Canaveral and our own Sawyer Rosenstein brings you exclusive sounds and experiences right from the front row. This asteroid sample-collecting mission to Bennu aims to help us understand the origins of life, but this trip to the Kennedy Space Center also featured a look at the future – particularly technologies for in-situ resource collection and usage, recycling of all garbage generated in space, and otherwise enable long-distance human space travel and colonization. In addition, we have an early response to the NASA Office of the Inspector General report discussed in episode 808 (spoiler alert: it's all about the money). While on the Cape, Sawyer also got a chance to check out LC-40, the scene of the recent SpaceX fast fire, and it's not pretty. However, that's apparently not slowing down Musk's push toward Mars, nor ours. Scientists studying the features of Mars have published a paper radically changing the dates of when Mars had its most recent flowing waters, while another set studying rocks here on our own planet suspect that Marsquakes might be releasing bits of hydrogen into the Martian ground as they do here, which could have enormous implications for the red planet. Speaking of Musk, expectations for his highly-anticipated talk at the International Astronautical Congress next week in Guadalajara are just about all the space world is talking about already, and Kat Robison and Kassy Tamanini will be there to bring it to you. However, they're hardly going just for that, both panelists will be presenting their own work at IAC and give us a preview of what they'll be talking about. Watch our social media over the next week to hear about it all first, and of course, come back for the next episode of Talking Space for full coverage (after you've devoured this one, of course).

Novae are the most frequent and among the brightest type of stellar explosions known. *Cassini Finds Flooded Canyons on Titan NASA's Cassini spacecraft has found deep, steep-sided canyons on Saturn's moon Titan that are flooded with liquid hydrocarbons. The findings represent the first direct evidence of the presence of liquid-filled channels on Titan, as well as the first observation of canyons hundreds of metres deep. *More evidence of ancient Martian lakes discovered in Gale Crater A new study has found that mineral veins found in Gale Crater were formed by the evaporation of ancient Martian lakes. The discovery is based on a study of the mineralogy of veins that were paths for groundwater in mudstones found at Yellowknife Bay in Gale Crater by NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover. *Red Dragon update The space flight community is a buzz with rumours that SpaceX boss Elon Musk will announce the company’s long term plans for the exploration of the red planet Mars at next month’s International Astronautical Congress in Mexico. SpaceX has already announced details of its Red Dragon project to send a modified Dragon V2 capsule to land on Mars in 2018. *New satellite launched to spy on other satellites and track space debris A Delta IV rocket has successfully blasted into orbit carrying two United States Air Force Space Command spy satellites designed to study other satellites and to track space debris. As well as monitoring other spacecraft, the United States Air Force Space Command is currently tracking over 23,000 pieces of orbiting debris. *China launches first quantum encrypted satellite China has launched its new quantum satellite aboard a Long March 2D rocket. The 500 kilogram Quantum Science telecommunications Satellite – called Mozi -- after an ancient Chinese philosopher and scientist -- is designed to test quantum entanglement from a 600 kilometre high orbit -- sending messages using quantum encrypted keys between ground stations in China and Europe. *Long March 4C launches Gaofen-3 Earth Observation Satellite A Chinese Long March 4 C rocket has blasted into orbit carrying the new Gaofen-3 surveillance satellite. The spy satellite flight comes amid growing tensions over Beijing’s annexation of parts of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our guests for this episode Kathryn "Kat" Robison and our very own Kassy Tamanini (aka Craft Lass) took on the task of studying the impact of social media on space flight outreach and awareness. In an academic paper entitled "Hastags for Outreach", both had an opportunity to present their findings at the 2014 International Astronautical Congress held in Toronto, Ontario from 29 September to 3 October. This installment explores the results of their combined research. Ms. Roberson is a graduate student and teaching assistant at Youngstown State University in Ohio, Her main speciality is the impact of social media and how it is leveraged by various interest groups. Ms. Tamanini has distinguished herself not only as a talented singer/songwriter with her ground breaking 2009 single "Bake Sale for NASA" but as a leader in innovative science outreach methods. Both are the masterminds behind the blog "Geek Girls Night Out" an online community for "female geeks both in and off line." Show recorded 10/13/2014 Host this week: Gene Mikulka.
