From the JUSTSAP to the PISA

Transcription

1 From the JUSTSAP to the PISA Osamu Odawara, Tokyo Institute of Technology Japan-US Science, Technology, and Space Application Program Pacific International Space Alliance

2 JUSTSAP ( established in 1990 ) A venue for a wide range of people-to-people communication where individuals from the industry, government and academia get together and exchange ideas and thoughts frankly for serving as a safety valve in space exploration Why JUSTSAP? The trade legislation of the USA called Super 301 against Japan asked to open the market such as satellites for application of government programs Space development activities between the USA and Japan have been based on the friendship and cooperation such with the development of the INTELSAT system

3 J U S T S A P i n H a w a i i The first meeting named as "Japan-US Cooperation in Space" (JUCS) was held at the East-West Center of Univ. Hawaii on Nov Dec. 1, Hawaii island 1993 Maui island 1994 Kauai island 1995 Maui island 1996 Oahu island 1997 Hawaii island 1998 Oahu island 1999 Kauai island 2000 Hawaii island 2001 Hawaii island 2002 Maui island 2003 Oahu island 2004 Hawaii island 2005 Oahu island 2006 Hawaii island 2007 Hawaii island 2008 Hawaii island 2009 Hawaii island 2010 Hawaii island 2011 Hawaii island 2012 Hawaii island "Japan-US Science, Technology and Space Applications Program" Meetings in Hawaii: geographical location in the middle of two capitals Strong support of Hawaii State in administrative and operational roles

4 Japan-US Cooperation in Space (JUCS) World Environment and Disaster Observation Satellite system Satellite Communication Small Satellite/Launcher and Infrastructure Space Technology Assistance Center JUSTSAP to promote Japan-US cooperation for the benefit of human being to invite participation of those experts from the Asia-Pacific region Disaster Management and Observation WG Satellite Communication WG Small Satellite WG Micro-gravity Experiment WG Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems Space-Based Energy Systems Commercial Utilization of the International Space Station Robotic Precursor Missions Energy Independence Space Commercialization Development Earth Observation Space Exploration

5 Disaster Management and Observation "World Environment and Disaster Observation Satellite System" proposal The joint symposium of "Applications of Space Technology for Mitigating Disasters" with the UN/CRD ranged from Asia to South America The collaboration of two Disaster centers: Asian Disaster Research Center and the Pacific Disaster Center headquartered at Ohau.

6 Satellite Communications To serve as a brain for the Global Inter-operability of Broadband Network (GIBN) The proposal of an "Experiment of Post Production over the Pacific through a High Data Transmission Networks configured with Satellites and Terrestrial Fiber Optic Cable systems"

7 Small Satellite A project of University Space Systems Symposium(USSS) Several proposals of Student Project Teams such as Can-Sat and TAKO

8 Micro-gravity Experiment JUSTSAP G-jitter experiment performed at STS-95 Space Shuttle mission JUSTSAP*STARS educational program performed at STS-107 Space Shuttle mission

9 Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES)

10 JUSTSAP has played a valuable role in establishing an unfettered international proposal group on the science, technology and space programs assembling experts from both public and private sectors in Japan and United States plus Canada, Europe and other nationalities.

11 What s Changed Since 1990 Now there are many countries with active space programs. Of the countries with current missions, five are located around the Pacific Rim. There are scores of entrepreneurial space companies, tourism is building and prizes are being offered for commercial missions. The Space Station s life will be extended to 2020 and perhaps 2025, offering ample opportunity for microgravity, commercial and space exploration projects. Now, from the JUSTSAP to the PISA Pacific International Space Alliance

12 SHIMOJI AIRPORT UTILIZATION PLANS Non-decision on the use of Shimoji Airport (used as a training base by Japanese commercial airlines) and surrounding land of some 550 hectares after the fiscal 2015 Okinawa Prefecture officials announced that they would accept plans for the land from companies both in and out of Japan; Applications have been accepted until the end of 2014, and now be gathered 10 proposals. New Bridge between Miyako and Irabu Nine years in the making, a new bridge connecting Miyako and Irabu Islands is set to open on 31 st of January, Shimoji airport is the best civil airport in the region, equipped with a 3,000- meter-long, 60- meter-wide runway, a 30-meter-wide taxiway and other necessary facilities and installations.

13 IRENA: International Re-Entry demonstrator Action IRENA mainly aims at: - creating a cluster of European and international stakeholders to study two types of demonstrators aimed at developing entry/re-entry technologies and suitable for other enabling technologies - jointly defining two technology demonstrator projects relevant for international cooperation - contributing to a European position for ISEF and - disseminating the results and preparing the next steps.

14 Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum ( from 1993 ) Participants 33 countries and regions - Australia People's Republic of Bangladesh Federal republic of Germany India Union of Myanmar Nepal Kingdom of Thailand U.S.A Brunei Darussalam Republic of Indonesia New Zealand Social Republic of Viet Nam Bhutan Japan Islamic Republic of Pakistan Italian Republic Canada Republic of Korea Republic of Philippines Republic of Chili Kingdom of Cambodia China French Republic Lao People's Democratic Public Malaysia Mongolia Russian Federation Republic of Singapore Democratic Socialist Republic 0f Sri Lanka Republic of Kazakhstan State of Israel UK Great Britain and Northern Ireland Taiwan

15 4 Working Groups; Earth Observation (EO) Communication Satellite Applications (CSA) Space Environment Utilization (SEU) Space Education and Awareness (SEA) APRSAF supports the establishment of international projects as solutions for common issues such as disasters and environmental protection so that the participating parties can realize cooperation.

18 LEO Debris (NASA model) GEO Debris (NASA 2009 LEO is the most concentrated area for orbital debris The Way 2009 GEO images generated from a distant oblique vantage point to provide a good view of the object populat imagesion in the geosynchronous region (around 35,785 km altitude). Continue to populate the Space Debris Catalog through the use of space and ground based sensors, both optical and RF and discover a means by which to remove or neutralize non-functional objects in LEO and GEO
