Abstract:
AbstractAstronomy, Astrophysics and Space Sciences (AASS) play an effective rôle in Sciences, Technology and Community Development. Unfortunately, a small percentage of this knowledge is actually used in teaching at schools, universities and other academic institutions in Arab countries. The challenge is to provide effective professional development for AASS educators and researchers at all levels, from elementary school to university.There is an urgent need for a better communication channels among Arab astronomers and space scientists nowadays. In this respect, the best choice is to identify in the vast cultural heritage of the Arab basin, particularly in astronomy. Building modern and good observatories, planetariums and research centres in the region jointly by Arab astronomers and space scientists is essential and will be an excellent step towards developing AASS. The aim of this paper is to show the importance of the formal and informal astronomical research and education, giving examples of possible astronomical projects, and comments of the experiences that have been carried out in a few Arab Countries. We show as well the importance of the Astronomical Societies in developing Science and Technology in the fields of AASS, and the role of these societies on the community and the country development.

Abstract:
IAU membership is a good indicator of a nationally organized astronomical community. Although IAU membership statistics for Africa continue to be very poor, other indicators (such as publications) suggest that there are many individual scientists in Africa who are attempting research or promoting education in astronomy. The Working Group on Space Sciences in Africa seeks to support these individuals through various means. This poster provides an overview of astronomy in Africa and the activities of this Working Group.

Abstract:
Compression of remotely sensed astronomical images is an essential part of deep space exploration. This study proposes a wavelet-based compressed sensing (CS) algorithm for astronomical image compression in a miniaturized independent optical sensor system, which introduces a new framework for CS in the wavelet domain. The algorithm starts with a traditional 2D discrete wavelet transform (DWT), which provides frequency information of an image. The wavelet coefficients are rearranged in a new structured manner determined by the parent–child relationship between the sub-bands. We design scanning modes based on the direction information of high-frequency sub-bands, and propose an optimized measurement matrix with a double allocation of measurement rate. Through a single measurement matrix, higher measurement rates can be simultaneously allocated to sparse vectors containing more information and coefficients with higher energy in sparse vectors. The double allocation strategy can achieve better image sampling. At the decoding side, orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) and inverse discrete wavelet transform (IDWT) are used to reconstruct the image. Experimental results on simulated image and remotely sensed astronomical images show that our algorithm can achieve high-quality reconstruction with a low measurement rate.

Abstract:
Astronomy was one of the most important sciences in the ancient world. It was rooted in naked eye observations and primitive stone instruments for astrometric measurements to determine the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and some stars that had both practical and sacred meaning. That is why the majority of archaeoastronomical monuments are simultaneously observatories and sanctuaries, with burials and altars.

Abstract:
Two categories — geographical space and social time — allows for the description of any kind of tourist travels. However, although the category of space is usually explicitly present in tourism studies, social time often remains implicit. The authors start their text with the idea that the astronomical concept of time used in economic and geographical studies of tourism cannot explain the complexity of the mobile world. The concept of social time, the authors argue, meets this challenge. Scrutinizing themes of authenticity (starting from MacCannell), a rite of passage from everyday life to the leisure time of tourism (from Graburn), and mobilities and tourism-scape (from Urry), the authors aim to reveal how social time has been “sutured” onto the main areas of tourism studies. This review precedes and brings together a collection of empirical papers on such different forms of tourism in Eastern Russia as cross-border shopping tourism, professional fieldwork travel, and Chinese inbound-tourism. The authors conclude that the attention to social time allows for an understanding that the democratization of tourism is one of the most critical ways to construct a shared experience of living in the modern world, to synchronize multiple temporal worlds, as well as to manage what can be called a politically non-neutral diversity of temporality.

Abstract:
Observations of stars’ occultations by small bodies of the Solar system allow solving of a series of problems described in this article. The Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, together with the Astronomical Observatory of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, created a software and hardware complex for observing the star coatings with long-focus telescopes. The complex uses a highly sensitive Apogee Alta U47 CCD camera in time delay integration (TDI) mode. It also includes a focus reducer with a block of light filters. The stationary variant of the complex can be used on the AZT-2 telescope of MAO NAS of Ukraine and the AZT-14 of the Lesniki observation station. The mobile complex is also made on the basis of the telescope of Newton’s system (D = 203 mm, F = 1200 mm) and the computerized installation of Sky-Watcher EQ-5 with the GOTO system for field observations. The worth of occultation observations increases significantly when using several observation points. To this end, we have initiated the gathering of the group of observers and their instrumentation from Ukrainian astronomical institutions, both professional and amateur. The Odesa Astronomical Observatory is presented in the group by the Richie-Chrétien telescope OMT-800 (D = 800 mm, F = 2134 mm) with the CCD camera QHY174M GPS at the Mayaki station and Schmidt system telescope (D = 271.25 mm, F = 440 mm) with the “VIDEO SCAN-415-2001” camera at the Kryzhanivka station. The group also includes several amateur observatories. Among them, there are stations in the village of Petrovka in the Odesa region, the astronomical observatory of Lozova school in the Ternopil region, private astronomical observatory L33 at Ananiiv, the Odesa region, and private observatory L58 “Heavenly Owl” in the town of Velikodolinskoye, the Odesa region. A description of the equipment used in these observation points and several examples of effective observations of occultations obtained by this group are given.

Abstract:
AbstractDecades of efforts made by Chinese astronomers have established some basic facilities for astronomy observations, such as the 2.16-m optical telescope, the solar magnetic-field telescope, the 13.7-m millimeter-wave radio telescope etc. One mega-science project, the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), intended for astronomical and astrophysical studies requiring wide fields and large samples, has been initiated and funded.To concentrate the efforts on mega-science projects, to operate and open the national astronomical facilities in a more effective way, and to foster the best astronomers and research groups, the National Astronomical Observatories (NAOs) has been coordinated and organizated. Four research centers, jointly sponsored by observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and universities, have been established. Nine principal research fields have received enhanced support at NAOs. They are: large-scale structure of universe, formation and evolution of galaxies, high-energy and cataclysmic processes in astrophysics, star formation and evolution, solar magnetic activity and heliogeospace environment, astrogeodynamics, dynamics of celestial bodies in the solar system and artificial bodies, space-astronomy technology, and new astronomical techniques and methods.

AbstractAware of the possibility that astronomy in the Philippines will remain as lethargic as it has been for a hundred years if drastic changes are not made, various revitalizing activities were planned in 1997 and some have been implemented. These activities were divided into five categories and included the promotion of astronomy throughout the country and the attendance of some personnel of the Atmospheric, Geophysical and Space-Sciences Branch at various international meetings. Project proposals were also prepared and submitted to various local and foreign institutions in order to acquire astronomical equipment. The Philippines also applied for, and received, associate mebership of the International Astronomical Union.

Abstract:
Entre la première photographie jamais prise de la Lune en 1840 par J.W. Draper et la première photographie prise depuis le sol de notre satellite en 1969 par la mission Apollo 11, l’aventure spatiale occidentale a donné lieu à une vaste production d’images. Toutes ont cherché à comprendre, capturer et communiquer au plus grand nombre l’aspect du cosmos. Absorbé comme une évidence par la culture collective, ce corpus hétérogène, protéiforme et aux délimitations complexes, relève d’une histoire culturelle qui reste difficile à classer, entre histoire des sciences et histoire des images. Les visualisations qui en résultent, marquées par les traditions de l’histoire de la représentation et fabriquées en parallèle des évolutions technologiques de l’astronomie et de ses moyens d’observation, ont tout autant façonné le regard de l’astronomie physique et la culture visuelle de ses observateurs néophytes. L’analyse de la formation et de l’épanouissement de l’Art spatial au XXe siècle nous ouvre ainsi les yeux sur un corpus visuel où la coalescence entre science et style est une condition nécessaire à son existence. A l’épreuve de l’histoire de l’histoire de l’art et des études visuelles, ce dernier trouve également toute sa place dans une analyse qui vise à dévoiler la puissance et la qualité performative des images. Qu’il s’agisse d’une imagerie vulgarisant le savoir savant à des fins didactiques, d’une volonté de saisir l’image du cosmos pour le découvrir ou d’une dissémination culturelle au cœur des grands mythes du siècle, l’exploration spatiale fut aussi une entreprise du regard qu’il nous incombe d’observer
Between the first photograph taken from the moon in 1840 by J.W. Draper and the first photograph taken from our satellite’s ground in 1969 by Apollo 11’s mission, western space odyssey led to a wide range of images. They all had the common goal of understanding, apprehending and sharing the aspect of cosmos with as many people as possible. Evidently absorbed by a collective culture, this heterogeneous and multifaceted corpus with many complex boundaries is based on a cultural history, which remains hard to classify, between science history and images history. The resulting visualizations, heavily influenced by the traditions of the history of representation and made in parallel of the technical evolutions of astronomy and its means of observation, have equally shaped the look of physical astronomy and of the visual culture of its neophyte observers. The analysis of the creation and the fulfilment of Space Art in the twentieth century make us open our eyes on a visual corpus where the coalescence between science and style is a necessary condition to its really existence. Confronted to History of Arts and to visual studies, this corpus finds its place within an analysis, which pursues to disclose the power and the performative quality of images. Whether it be an imagery popularizing the deepest knowledge for teaching purposes, a will of grabbing the image of cosmos in order to discover it or a cultural dissemination at the heart of the most important myths of the century, spatial exploration was also an experience of the look we need to observe

Abstract:
Two new Kolsky bar techniques were developed to address a lack of capability in existing torsion Kolsky bar experiments. The side-impact torsion Kolsky bar provides for controllable duration, amplitude, and shape of the incident torsion wave, allowing for more ideal conditions during dynamic torsion experiments. The technique provides an ideal platform to study dynamic friction as well as dynamic shear of a material. The technique makes use of soft pulse shapers to convert longitudinal loading into torsional loading. The technique also brought forth a secondary technique to allow combined dynamic compression and dynamic torsion for soft materials. The combined loading was applied to study both shear properties and the friction behavior of a
particle composite, which was imaged using x-ray phase contrast imaging. The same composite was studied with different surface conditions on the side-impact torsion Kolsky bar to discover the differences in behavior brought about by the choice of manufacturing method. The composite showed different friction behavior to metallic
materials, and exhibited much more shear deformation during the experiment. The composite was also prone to surface evolution, leading to complex friction behavior.

Abstract:
Shape and attitude of near-Earth objects directly affect the orbit propagation via drag and solar radiation pressure. Obtaining information beyond the object states (position and velocity) is integral to identifying an object. It also enables tracing origin and can improve the orbit accuracy. For objects that have a significant distance to the observer, only non-resolved imaging is available, which does not show any details of the object. So-called non-resolved light curve measurements, i.e. photometric measurements over time can be used to determined the shape of space objects using a two step inversion scheme. It follows the procedure to first determine the Extended Gaussian Image and then going through the shape reconstruction process to retrieve the closed shape even while measurement noise is present. Furthermore, it is also possible to generate high confidence candidates when follow-up observations are provided through a multi-hypotheses process.

Abstract:
The earth sciences may have experienced their most recent conceptual revolution in the 1970s with the acceptance of plate tectonics, but that was by no means their only major revolution. T. C. Chamberlin (1843–1928), America’s most eminent geologist turned geocosmologist, experienced three major conceptual revolutions in his field. As a student in the 1860s, he rejected the scriptural geology he had learned in his youth. As a working geologist interested in multiple glaciations, he rejected the dominant theories of hot planetary birth and secular cooling of the Earth as severely lacking in explanatory power. As one of the leading interdisciplinary scientists of his day, he formulated a new theory of the origin and evolution of the Earth and solar system—the planetesimal hypothesis. Glacial theories of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries appear in three distinct clusters: astronomical theories involve changes in the Sun’s luminosity, the passage of the Earth through opaque regions of space, and the variation of the Earth’s tilt and orbital elements; terrestrial theories include mountain building, volcanism, and changes in atmospheric and oceanic circulations; and molecular theories invoke changes in the water vapor or CO2 content of the atmosphere. The favorite among geologists was Charles Lyell’s theory of continental uplift and mountain building. James Croll’s theory of periodic changes in solar insolation due to changes in the Earth’s orbital elements was tantalizing but did not fit with geological evidence. Speculations about possible changes in the Sun were popular as well but were impossible to prove. Lord Kelvin had decided that the Sun was simply cooling off and the Earth’s future climate would be a cold, frozen one. Most theorists focused on a single mechanism of glaciation, with perhaps a secondary cause added in. There was some lip service to but little interest in multiple causation. Chamberlin tried to keep his options open by advocating his “method of multiple working hypotheses.” He was one of the first geologists to see the Ice Age as a series of multiple glaciations, and he was interested in searching for fundamental mechanisms of change that would explain the details, including the repeated oscillations between cold and warm epochs, the timing and duration of these events, and the differences between high and low latitude glaciation.

Abstract:
Organized by KU Leuven and Ghent University, two leading Belgian universities, the Master of Space Studies is an interdisciplinary post-master program that aims to equip students with the skills they need to initiate a career in the space sector. Beyond the deepening of their initial expertise, the program exposes the participating students to a broad range of topics, from human science (space law and policy, international organizations, project management, ...), to technical science (space missions, spacecraft and payload engineering, satellite telecommunications, ...), and exact sciences (Earth and Space observations, medical sciences, human explorations, ...) with the aim to provide the students with a broad overview of the interdisciplinary expertise required by many space projects. Initiated in the late 2000s, the program has served as a gateway into the space sector for over 100 students since its creation. After a brief introduction to the program, we present a programmatic analysis, based on quantitative and qualitative surveys of students and alumni. We present the demographic, career tracks and current professional situations of students in the last 10 years, allowing us to identify trends that affects tertiary education to space sector. We conclude by briefly highlighting other ongoing space education activities, from the Belgian antenna of ESERO to the involvement of students in CubeSpec, a 6U CubeSat platform selected as ESA in-flight demonstrator to enable low-cost versatile spectroscopy of astronomical targets
