Dr. Alan Stern, Sunday, 8-26-12 (53.87MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Alan Stern. Topics: Uwingu space venture, updates for New Horizons, Pluto and more. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed back Dr. Alan Stern to discuss a new kind of business venture, Uwingu (see www.uwingu.com). During our first segment, Dr. Stern fully explained this new venture and showed why it was like no other. We also talked about the start-up funding campaign on Indiegogo (www.indiegogo.com/projects/180221?c=home). For the record, I became a supporter of Uwingu after our program. I found the Indiegogo process to be especially simple, clear, easy, and quick. I do recommend you support Uwingu because it does represent a completely different funding model for space ventures, college education, programs such as The Space Show, research proposals, and more. As you will hear, Uwingu will sell space related products off their website (to be announced later), and the proceeds go to the Uwingu Fund to be used to give out awards based on review, due diligence, and in some cases, peer review. Alan explained this process in our first segment and in parts of our second segment. In our second segment, we asked Alan for updates to the New Horizons Mission on its way to Pluto. We learned about important New Horizon events coming up in 2013, including a full rehearsal of the mission prior to its arrival at Pluto. I asked Alan about the Pluto postage stamp campaign and learned that it is now before the U.S. Post Office for consideration. Alan talked about other projects he is working on, including the suborbital research flight projects with the Southwest Research Institute. These projects include his being the PI of the LAMP instrument on NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, which launched in 2009, and the PI for ALICE on ESA's ROSETTA Mission. Going back to Uwingu, Dr. Stern was asked about ITAR issues, the social media contacts for Uwingu, and then he was asked about other questions pertaining to the Kuiper Belt objects, . As the program ended, Alan talked about the upcoming Next Generation Suborbital Researchers Conference, June 3-5, 2012 in Broomfield, Colorado. For full information about this conference, visit http://nsrc.swri.org. Please post your comments/questions on our blog. If you want to contact Dr. Stern, send your note to me and I will forward it to him.

Dr. Farouk El-Baz, Friday, 8-24-12 (43.97MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Farouk El-Baz. Topics: Apollo lunar landing site selection, lunar geology, Mars-desert analogs and more. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed Dr. Farouk El-Baz to The Space Show. Please visit his website for lots more information on the topics we discussed, lots of great pictures, plus many additional important topics, www.faroudelbaz.com. We started our discussion with Dr. El-Baz having a Star Trek shuttle craft named in his honor. Its a great story you will enjoy hearing. From Star Trek, we got down to business and wanted to know about the Apollo lunar landing site selection process. Dr. El-Baz told us how they did it, especially given the absence of any real information about the lunar geology and surface. Three of the concerns he mentioned included the site being free of rocks, absolutely flat, and making sure the Lunar Lander would not sink in the lunar dust. What's more, Dr. El-Baz was 29 years old when he was in charge of doing this. As you will hear, age is an important part of this discussion in the second segment near the end of the program. I did ask Dr. El-Baz about selecting sites using Egyptian mythology as conspiracy theories suggest, plus his response to those who do not believe we ever went to the Moon. With the latter point, he had much to say about Moon rocks as proof of our lunar visits. His comments on Orion and mythology were very interesting. Another question asked him dealt with the shutting down of the program. NASA risk averseness was the top reason. Nels asked many questions about a possible Apollo polar orbit and lunar ice. Our guest had much to say about this, the sun angles needed for landing, lighting, and more. As we moved to lunar commerce, our guest talked about mining titanium and HE3 but not at this time. I asked Dr. El-Baz about the Apollo-Soyuz Test Flight (ASTF) and working with the Soviets, then we returned to the plausibility of lunar commerce at this time. As we started the second segment, we talked about commercial ROI opportunities for cargo to the ISS by the private companies but he suggested everything else was more distant and would probably need testing & seeding by the government. I then asked him about his work studying deserts and using Earth deserts as analogs for studying Mars. Dr. El-Baz had much to say about deserts, Mars, about their formation by rivers that had dried up & were buried under sand and how they know that. We talked about Earth movement, especially the Sahara Desert, and the impact of natural geological events on climate change. Imaging satellites were discussed & I asked our guest if we would have been able to have today's knowledge were it not for the space program. Don't miss his fascinating answer. At another point in our discussion, Dr. El-Baz mentioned 126 separate university research projects during Apollo. The last listener question asked our guest about the extremely young age of the Apollo scientific & work force. Dr. El-Baz had much to say about this, said that the work could only have been done by people in their 20's and 30's. He said the older folks need to step aside and let the young people go forward, make the mistakes & solve the problems. In the end, age made a huge difference for the good of the Apollo program. Our guest also commented on our present day aging space & technology workforce. Please post your comments/questions on the blog. If you want to email Dr. El-Baz, send your note to me & I will forward it to him. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:52:56 UTC

Open Lines, Tuesday, 8-21-12 (70.90MB; download) -- Guest: Open Lines with Dr. David Livingston. Topics: Space policy, STEM, Curiosity, Mars Society Conference, SLS, heavy lift, sequestration, & more. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. As I started the first segment of this 2 hour plus Open Lines program, I identified some news items suggesting that some listeners might be interested in discussing them. Not so. Our first caller, Patrick from Quebec, debriefed us on the Mars Society Conference in Pasadena, the Curiosity landing & JPL as well as some of the main conference keynote speakers. You can see the videos of all the keynote speakers from this conference at www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL57B8D5FFF5B55A62. In telling us about the conference, Patrick focused in on the talk given by Elon Musk. Later, Patrick mentioned his visit to the largest ground based optical telescope on the East Coast, the Megantic Observatory. Charles Pooley called in next to continue to raise issues about the NASA Nanosat Challenge. If anyone knows anything about it, do let us know. We started the second segment with a call from Brett in Philadelphia to talk about his efforts in STEM and student space outreach. Check out the website he talked about regarding "How to be a Rocket Scientist or Aerospace Engineer" at www.squidoo.com/how-to-be-a-rocket-scientist-or-aerospace-engineer. Your suggestions on additions to his lists are welcome. Our next caller, Doug from S. California, offered us some comments from the recent program featuring Chris Carberry and humans to Mars. He talked about going back to the Moon but as part of a mission to Mars. He also talked about the Carberry comments regarding the upcoming 50th anniversary of when we left the Moon for the last time, suggesting we turn it into a positive statement for the future. In addition, we talked about the viral JPL video, "We Are Nasa And We Know It" at www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFvNhsWMU0c. Our next caller was John from Atlanta. He responded to my request that listeners tell us if they thought space would make it into the presidential campaign as an issue. John did not think it would but check out his comments on this subject. John also took issue with an earlier caller pertaining to Elon's comments regarding rocket reusability, Falcon Heavy, a reusable Falcon 9, and SLS. Our next topic was sequestration and I talked about the report by Dr. Fuller at George Mason University which details job losses in all states in DOD and space related work if sequestration is allowed to take place. You can download this excellent study/report at www.aia-aerospace.org/assets/Fuller_II_Final_Report.pdf. As we were drawing to a close, both John and Doug called back to clarify statements and positions spoken about earlier in the program. Please post your comments on our blog. If you want to email anyone who participated in our discussion, send your note to me and I will forward it to them. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 22 Aug 2012 15:57:59 UTC

Chris Carberry, Monday, 8-20-12 (45.86MB; download) -- Guest: Chris Carberry. Topics: Explore Mars programs, space policy & presidential campaigns, HSF to Mars. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed Chris Carberry back to the show to update us on new Explore Mars programs and also to talk about space policy & issues as part of a presidential campaign. You can follow along on their website, www.exploremars.org. In our first segment, Chris started out talking about the Curiosity rover on Mars and its impact on policy and programming back here on Earth. He also told us about a website created by Explore Mars, www.getcurious.com. This additional site focused on Curiosity, but also as you will hear, described their Mars boulder program, what happened and where the thousand pound boulders went after Curiosity landed. During this segment, we had a lengthy discussion about space as a political priority in presidential campaigns and Chris told us why in his experience space policy does not typically enter a presidential campaign. Later we both said that the biggest issue facing our space program and HSF to Mars is the lack of political will. Chris went on to tell us about their upcoming Space Blitz on Capitol Hill on Sept. 12, 2012, a joint program and effort with the NSS. Chris concluded the first segment by telling us about an Explore Mars upcoming conference on Mars education scheduled for May 6-8, 2013. In the second segment, a listener asked Chris why Explore Mars targeted women in its programming. Don't miss the explanation offered by Mr. Carberry. By the way, as far as I know, Explore Mars is one of only a few, maybe the only organization, that does programming specifically for women in space and for Mars activities. Chris returned to Mars and space policy in political campaigns as well as political agendas, both in Congress and among the nation's general population. Since Chris is from Massachusetts, he got a few questions asking about congressional races in the state and the space policy/positions of the candidates competing for house and senate seats. Chris was unsure of the various space/Mars candidate positions but noted that neither space or Mars had been or would likely be a discussion topic in anyone's campaign this year. I then asked Chris if he could design a space policy for a political candidate and he said yes though he would have to be very careful about how the policy was put forth and debated. Don't miss this discussion! I did encourage him to create such a campaign and post it on a blog or website for general information available to any candidate of any party who actually is interested in space or Mars. Later in the segment, we talked about the importance of a Mars sample return mission, the potential for the private sector to fund an HSF program to Mars, and what he thought the Mars program in particular would look like in five years. As the show was ending, he was asked about a Martian moon mission to either Phobos or Deimos. In his concluding comments, he mentioned the upcoming 50th anniversary of our leaving the Moon and not returning. He said we can certainly do better than that. Please post your comments/questions on the blog. You can email Chris through the Explore Mars website. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:02:30 UTC

Space Show-SWF On-Orbit Satellite Servicing Webinar, Sunday, 8-19-12 (41.49MB; download) -- Guests: Brian Weeden, Richard DalBello, Major General, USAF (Retired) James B. Armor, Jr.. This is a SWF sponsored webinar addressing issues related to the on-orbit servicing of satellites. You are invited to comment, ask questions, & discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, & any discussion must be relevant & applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A TWO HOUR WEBINAR PRODUCTION SPONSORED BY THE SECURE WORLD FOUNDATION (SWF). The webinar video will soon be archived on our Vimeo Space Show channel. When available, I will modify the archives to include the webinar video URL. We welcomed Brian Weeden, Richard DalBello, & Major General, USAF (Retired) James B. Armor, Jr. to the program for an in-depth discussion of on-orbit satellite servicing. This is a new business/industry that is emerging with great interest from governments, the satellite industry, & many other interested parties. During our first webinar hour, our guests explained satellite on-orbit servicing, why the interest in it, the values on the table, & the economics behind this developing industry. We heard from the perspective of the satellite operator with Mr. DalBello, from General Armor with the perspective of a company wanting to provide these services plus what they are commercially doing now in this emerging industry. Gen. Armor talked about the new ATK venture for satellite repair, Vivisat (www.vivisat.com). He was followed by Mr. Weeden who connected the dots with us regarding the big picture implications for security, stability, & policy. We talked about liability issues, insurance, & LEO & GEO satellites in terms of their respective economic value & lifespan. A listener asked about GPS satellites, launch costs, & competition here & abroad. In fact, Brian mentioned several projects outside the US with the Canadians, Germans, & JAXA. Toward the end of the first hour, caller Jack asked about testing & reliability, wondering if repairing satellites would reduce reliability engineering & testing on the ground, thus lowering the satellite's cost given the possibility of on-orbit repair. Ben followed asking if satellites having a longer life would be sold, comparing this potential to selling real estate once a property has been fully depreciated. In our webinar second hour, Brian described the DARPA Phoenix Satellite Service project, www.darpa.mil/our_work/tto/programs/phoenix.aspx. The issue of satellite abandonment came up & as you will hear, there is no way to abandon any object in space. Another issue in this segment was space situational awareness (SSA). We talked about SSA in LEO, with the new entrepreneurial small satellite companies doing LEO ventures, & the implication of this new industry for launching to & operating in GEO. Later in this segment, we learned that there was no commercial incentive to address the space debris issue. Don't miss the analysis behind this statement as its important in understanding the space debris issue. A listener asked Richard about launch vehicle insurance & premiums, specifically for the Falcon 9. Also in this segment we talked about the NASA satellite servicing mission, the Restore Mission (http://ssco.gsfc.nasa.gov/robotic_servicing_mission.html). As our webinar drew to a close, we addressed the importance of a STEM education for our young students & the exciting space projects that today's students will get to do in their careers. Everyone's closing comments reflected the future orientation & focus for this evolving industry. Please post your comments/questions on the blog. If you want to email our guests, send your note to me & I will forward it for you.

SmallSat Conference Interviews, Tuesday-Friday, 8-17-12 (48.85MB; download) -- Guests: Robert (Bob) Meurer of ATK; Dr. Peter Wegner of ORS; Fred Slane of Space Infrastructure, Inc. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcome you to this series of three recorded interviews from the SmallSat Conference 2012. After each interview is completed, there is about a ten second pause followed by the next interview. The program concludes when the final interview with Fred Slane is completed. I was assisted with all three interviews by Dr. John Jurist who was also present for the SmallSat Conference. Our first interview was with Robert (Bob) Meurer of ATK. Mr. Meurer is the VP of Business Development in the Commercial and International Programs, Space Mission Systems with ATK Aerospace in Beltsville, MD. During our half hour with Bob, we discussed the ATK series of small satellite buses, ITAR & international business issues, customer responsibility as opposed to manufacturer responsibility, LEO as compared to GEO satellites and much more. While The Space Show has featured many ATK programs, this programs focused on the ATK satellite business rather than the launch and SRB side of the business. I am sure you will find it to be a most interesting & informative discussion as did Dr. Jurist and I. Our second interview was with the Director of the ORS Office, Dr. Peter Wegner. Dr. Wegner was first on The Space Show in 2009 so we asked him for updates with ORS. We discussed their funding status, what constitutes an ORS satellite or ORS mission, national security and ORS, plus I asked about other space nations and their advances in operationally responsive space capabilities. I was a bit surprised to learn that the U.S. definitely has competition and others may actually be making more progress than we are. You don't want to miss this discussion. We talked about student projects, internships, and even garage innovators submitting projects to Dr. Wegner's office or by chance stumbling on classified technology. Our final interview was with Fred Slane as I asked Fred for an annual update on the progress toward adopting space standards. We discussed the need for space standards, the role of the U.N. in promoting space standards, and why adopting standards is important, even for the small entrepreneurial start-up space company. Fred was asked the difference between a standard and a specification, who the various international players are in the process, and just who gets a seat at the table. I think you will agree with both Dr. Jurist and myself that having operationally sound space standards are important for everyone. Post your comments on the blog and let us know what you think about space standards. If you want to email any of the guests for this special SmallSat program, please send your note to me and I will forward it to the guest of your choice. Also, do post general comments and questions on The Space Show blog for all to see and comment on if they so desire. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Sat, 18 Aug 2012 02:56:07 UTC

Brian Weeden, Friday, 8-10-12 (47.29MB; download) -- Guest: Brian Weeden. Topics: Economics for LEO, GEO, space debris mitigation, & space sustainability. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed Brian Weeden back to the program to discuss space economics per his June 4, 2012 Space Review article, "The economics of space sustainability." You can read this article by visiting www.thespacereview.com/article/2093/1. I strongly recommend you read the article prior to listening to our discussion. In our first segment, Brian spent time with us defining important terms including space as a global commons, space as a common-pool resource, GEO and LEO satellite usage, space debris regions, the Kessler Syndrome, good rivalrous, economic exclusion, economic non-exclusion, private goods, public goods and more. Brian makes the valid point that in understanding how both GEO and LEO have been viewed and treated, we have a partial explanation of why it has been and still is so challenging to do something about the growing debris problem. In Brian's Space Review paper and in our discussion, he takes us to a point where we can view LEO and Geo differently than the more normal way of looking at space, economics, and debris issues. We came to view space not as a global commons but more as a common-pool resource. From this vantage point, we can look at policy and programs that influence behavior toward a desired objective. He cited as an example the Chinese anti-satellite test that caused so much debris several years ago but told us that the test was repeated in 2010 without causing debris. Listen to his explanation of this in the second part of our discussion. In the second segment, we talked about the value of both LEO and GEO. All space is valued at $290 billion. $110 billion is assigned to space services and related things. The total insured value of GEO is around $20 billion but the insured value of LEO is only $1.4 billion. He explained why this is so and the impact it has have on understanding the economics of space development and debris mitigation. At one point in the discussion in response to a question, he talked about the pain threshold of the company or country. Don't miss this discussion. Later in the segment, Brian introduced us to game theory and information economics as we continued to explore space economics. Near the end of our program, we talked about the European Code of Conduct for Outer Space, how it might or might not become law in the U.S., and the realization that there must be more benefits flowing to the space companies and nations for dealing with debris than the costs, liabilities, and challenges. Please post your comments on the blog. If you want to email Brian Weeden, you can find his address on the SWF website or you can send it to me and I will forward it.

Dr. Trevor Sorensen, Jeff Laube, AIAA Space 2012, Thursday, 8-9-12 (33.93MB; download) -- Guests: Dr. Trevor Sorensen, Jeff Laube. Topics: AIAA Space 2012 Conference & Exposition. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed our two guests to the program, Dr. Trevor Sorensen & Jeff Laube, to discuss the upcoming AIAA Space 2012 Conference to be held in Pasadena, CA from Sept. 11-13, 2012. For full conference information, the agenda, technical sessions, keynote speaker information, conference and hotel registration, please visit www.aiaa.org/SPACE2012. You can also follow along with us via the specific web pages pertinent to our discussion. Our one hour no break discussion started with an overview of Space 2012 with Dr. Sorensen. We covered keynote speakers at the lunches, the conference and hotel logistics. We highlighted some of the tracks and then with Jeff, we talked about the special sessions including those dealing with space entrepreneurship, space access, Cislunar development, space mining, and more. You can see the full agenda which has yet to be finalized here: www.aiaa.org/Secondary.aspx?id=4571. We also talked about the Special Events including the Young Professionals Networking Reception, the Pickering Lecture, and the Monday evening conference reception. I asked about the Exhibit Hall this year and we talked about the Poster Session. Several policy questions were asked of our two guests given that this is an election year. We did learn that both presidential candidates have been invited to talk about their space policy plans at the conference. We noted that this is a pivotal year for DOD Space, civil space, and private space for the future, a fact which makes this year's Space 2012 Conference very important and significant. A listener asked if sequestration and the coming job losses of skilled workers was part of the formal program. It was not but as you will hear in my comments, I am quite sure it will show up in many ways throughout the questions, networking sessions, and possibly even the planned talks and panel discussions as it is a very important issue facing all aspects of our space program. Our final questioner wanted to know if for this year there would be another Smartphone App as there was last year. We did not know the answer but I suggested the AIAA App would be updated for Space 2012 when the agenda becomes finalized. If you have comments/questions, please post them on the blog above. Conference questions should be addressed to custserv@aiaa.org or through contact information on the conference website. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Thu, 09 Aug 2012 23:04:03 UTC
