Abstract:
This article briefly introduces the missions-financing praxis of four Pentecostal churches that are prominent in the emerging African-to- Africa missions, and how this could form a basis for missional practice. The four major churches are, The Church of Pentecost of Ghana, The Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa, Light House Chapel International of Ghana, and The Redeemed Christian Church of God of Nigeria. Before we examine the missions-financing of these missional Pentecostal churches, it will be helpful to explain some of the terms that are used in this article, namely, Mission, Missions and Africa-to-Africa missions.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the origins of Anglican Anglo-Catholic missions, through the missionary theology and practice of the founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, Fr Richard Benson, and an exploration of its initial missionary endeavours: the Twelve-Day Mission to London in 1869, and two missions in India from 1874. The Indian missions comprised an institutional mission at Bombay and Pune, and a unique ascetic enculturated mission at Indore by Fr Samuel Wilberforce O'Neill ssje. It is argued that Benson was a major figure in the inauguration of Anglo-Catholic missions; that his ritualist moderation was instrumental in the initial public success of Anglo-Catholic domestic mission; and that in overseas missions he had a clear theological preference for disconnecting evangelism from Europeanising. Benson's approach, more radical than was normal in the second half of the nineteenth century, was a consequence of envisaging mission's being undertaken by a religious order, an entirely new phenomenon for Anglican missions.

Abstract:
This paper explores how Korean migrant churches in Aotearoa New Zealand can find a balance between missions (understood as extending the Church) and Mission (construed as participation in the missio Dei), in relation to their sense of belonging. For this purpose, the research uses a qualitative methodology interview method guided by interpretivism. The paper begins by identifying key contextual factors related to Koreans in New Zealand as migrants, Christians and missional beings. The responses of 31 research participants regarding what constitutes a “sense of belonging” are analysed in terms of visible and invisible belonging. Visible belonging is associated with churches that have strong boundaries, and invisible belonging is found in one’s relationship with God; the two can be correlated with missions and Mission, respectively. The analysis suggests that a missional understanding can be a trigger for enabling interaction between visible belonging as missions and invisible belonging as Mission, through three missional concepts: purpose, progress and experience. Finally, the paper suggests practical ways that Korean churches in New Zealand can balance missions and Mission by following three missional guidelines.

Full text
Abstract:
Emergency observations are missions executed by Earth observation satellites to support urgent ground operations. Emergency observations become more important for meeting the requirements of highly dynamic and highly time-sensitive observation missions, such as disaster monitoring and early warning. Considering the complex scheduling problem of Earth observation satellites under emergency conditions, a multi-satellite dynamic mission scheduling model based on mission priority is proposed in this paper. A calculation model of mission priority is designed for emergency missions based on seven impact factors. In the satellite mission scheduling, the resource constraints of scheduling are analyzed in detail, and the optimization objective function is built to maximize the observation mission priority and mission revenues, and minimize the waiting time for missions that require urgency for execution time. Then, the hybrid genetic tabu search algorithm is used to obtain the initial satellite scheduling plan. In case of the dynamic arrival of new emergency missions before scheduling plan releases, a dynamic scheduling algorithm based on mission priority is proposed to solve the scheduling problem caused by newly arrived missions and to obtain the scheduling plan of newly arrived missions. A simulation experiment was conducted for different numbers of initial missions and newly arrived missions, and the scheduling results were evaluated with a model performance evaluation function. The results show that the execution probability of high-priority missions increased because the mission priority was taken into account in the model. In the case of more satellite resources, when new missions dynamically arrived, the satellite resources can be reasonably allocated to these missions based on the mission priority. Overall, this approach reduces the complexity of the dynamic adjustment and maintains the stability of the initial scheduling plan.

Abstract:
Many church leaders conclude that immigrant churches are not engaged in missions, based on a limited view of the geographic scope of missions. The “going principle” assumes that mission activity involves cross-cultural engagement, while the “staying principle” refers to embracing the local neighborhood where the church is located. While useful, both principles limit our vision of missional engagement. It is helpful to employ the theory of transnationalism to expand the notion of place and geography, allowing us to capture the full scope of missional engagement by many immigrant churches. The article concludes with a case study of Kerala Pentecostal churches.

Abstract:
Is the acquisition of personnel for UN peacekeeping missions susceptible to free-riding by UN member states? If so, what drives this behavior and what impact does this have on obtaining required personnel for the mission? Using data from 21 missions in 13 African countries between 1990 and 2010, this article addresses whether UN peacekeeping missions experience a shortfall in personnel due to incentives to free-ride by contributing states. It argues that as the number of states contributing to a mission increases, contributors have a greater incentive to free-ride and make suboptimal personnel contributions, leading to greater overall shortfall in the mission’s personnel. However, this free-riding behavior can be mitigated by the economic incentives of contributor states. The findings support two central tenets of collective action theory: that free-riding by member states contributing to the mission is more prevalent when the number of contributors is larger, and when selective incentives such as economic gains are lower. These findings have implications for the strategic composition and efficacy of peacekeeping forces. More broadly, the results underscore the struggle of international organizations to obtain compliance from member states in achieving their international objectives.

Abstract:
Missions concerning small-body celestial objects are of growing interest due to the resources and information they can provide. Such missions require detailed information about the surface of the body for interactions, such as landing on the surface, as well as predicting the gravity field of the object. This work provides a means of optimizing the mission elements of trajectory and imaging target schedules so that the level of knowledge of the surface can be increased. The information required to increase one's knowledge of the surface is described as a set of conditions placed on the collection of images taken of each facet of the surface; these requirements constitute the concept of "coverage" and were provided by NASA. Currently, no comparable optimization capability exists. The trajectory optimization task is done using an adapted form of the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-2 (NSGA-2) in which the genetic mutation and recombination operators are replaced with operators inspired by a different Evolutionary Algorithm, Differential Evolution. Since small-body objects have irregular distributions of mass, this optimization accounts for this by using a higher fidelity gravity model; the expense of the calculation causing a significant increase in fitness evaluation time. The trajectory optimization uses the maximization of possible coverage (the coverage achieved is every surface element were targeted for imaging at every opportunity) and minimization of a time quantity that typifies covering less but doing so quickly as the primary optimization objectives with an additional ancillary objective which rewards the fulfillment of the individual aspects of coverage so as to better condition improvement in the first objective. The optimization of imaging schedules is handled using a less adapted version of NSGA-2 in which the base operations were only tailored slightly. This differs from the previous task in that limitation are placed on the imaging process; namely that the camera may only target a single surface element at each opportunity and is thus only able to observe the faces caught within the narrow field-of-view. This optimization trades the minimization of time objective and the ancillary objective for the minimization of the required rotational effort of the imaging spacecraft. Both works result in sets of solutions to their respective problems that capture the trade-space between the considered objectives. The last work detailed here examines the consequences of how velocity domains are phrased in space trajectory optimization problems. Multiple means of framing the optimization domain are examined and the results detail the complications encountered by the more common formulations for a set of test problems.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter reviews theoretical rationales for mission-oriented innovation policy and provides an empirical overview of extant 28 papers and 49 cases on the topic. We synthetize varieties of mission formulations, actors involved, and characteristics of missions described as more or less failed or successful. Fifty-nine percent of the studied missions are still ongoing, 33 percent are considered successful, and 8 percent as failures. Sixty-seven percent of the studied missions have taken place in Europe, 24 percent in North America, and 8 percent in Asia. The majority of innovation projects referred to as missions do not fulfill the criteria defined by the OECD. Results suggest that missions related to technological or agricultural innovations are more often successful than broader types of missions aimed at social or ecological challenges. Challenges regarding the governance and evaluation of missions remain unresolved in the literature. We find no case that contains a cost-benefit analysis or takes opportunity cost into account.

Abstract:
Surveillance missions that involve unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) include situations where a UGV has to choose between alternative paths to complete its mission. Currently, UGV missions are often limited by the available on-board energy. Thus, we propose a dynamic most energy-efficient path planning algorithm that integrates mission prior knowledge with real-time sensory information to identify the mission’s most energy-efficient path. Our proposed approach predicts and updates the distribution of energy requirement of alternative paths using recursive Bayesian estimation through two stages: (1) exploration — road segments are explored to reduce their energy prediction uncertainty; (2) exploitation — the most energy-efficient path is selected using the collected information in the exploration stage and is traversed. Our simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms offline methods, as well as a method that only relies on exploitation to identify the most energy-efficient path.

Abstract:
NASA has previously designed and described set of concept aircraft to serve as reference vehicles for Urban Air Mobility (UAM), to encourage public discussion and research. These vehicles are used in this paper to quantify how suitable UAM aircraft might be for missions other than their primary commercial design missions. A set of representative public good missions are described, along with design requirements and equipage. For two of these missions, the additional weight, power, and cost to facilitate a basic vehicle which may be built or configured with the ability to perform these missions is quantified. Special layout and other considerations which may impact vehicle design are described. For aircraft designed to the NASA UAM reference mission, the addition of some meaningful public good missions causes less than 10% growth in weight and power for fossil-fueled aircraft; advanced battery-electric powered aircraft grow by a significantly larger amount and may only be possible with relaxed requirements. Meaningful public good missions with UAM vehicles are feasible, provided that public good mission requirements are considered and incorporated in the conceptual design stage of development.

Full text
Abstract:
Missions onboard the International Space Station rely on the real-time availability of a large ground team of system experts to command the vehicle, solve safety-critical problems, and guide the crew during complex operations. Also, in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), supplies can be sent and crews evacuated quite quickly if needed. Future missions Beyond Low Earth Orbit (BLEO) will not have this 24/7, real-time safety net as communication latency increases, resupply difficulty increases, and evacuation opportunities diminish. There are few, if any, terrestrial analogs for human spaceflight missions BLEO that reflect the conditions—including extreme environments, long mission durations, and small crew sizes – that make these missions so high risk. Studies on specific conditions, such as communication delays and asynchronous interactions, have been performed in NASA Earth-based analog missions and have found that communication delays can disrupt ground-crew interactions and adversely impact team performance. However, there are gaps and limitations in studies conducted to date, notably on human spacecraft system failure response and recovery, the impacts of shorter lunar-relevant communication delays on complex operations, and the effectiveness of countermeasures. The work presented here breaks down real anomalies that occurred on ISS and Apollo missions and creates example scenarios fort Lunar Surface and Mars missions to explore the impact of communication delays of varying length on onboard operations and mission outcomes. Our analyses indicate that short communication delays (e.g., seconds to a minute) adversely impact the ability for ground to provide real-time oversight and guidance and to catch quickly emerging problems in time. Longer communication delays (e.g., up to 40 minutes on Mars missions) call for a shift of responsibility for tactical operations from ground to crew; crew must make time-critical decisions independently and respond to time-critical vehicle anomalies to prevent consequences.

Fteval - Austrian Platform for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation, April 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.22163/fteval.2022.540.

Full text
Abstract:
Mission-oriented policies (MOIP) have become important means to foster transformative change in many countries. Yet, approaches for assessing these policies' impacts are still in their infancy, not least due to the complexity of MOIP. To address this gap, we propose a toolbox approach that supports policy-makers during policy design and implementation, and allows for an identification of potential impacts by a theory-based approach. To disentangle the complexity of missions, we first conceptualize MOIPs as multiple translation processes from mission formulation and design to implementation. Each translation step shapes the policies' impacts. Based on this framework, we develop a set of specific analytical tools that are intended to support the process of bringing missions into realization, but also help to assess whether missions contribute to the postulated goals. These tools include a mapping of the socio-technical systems, a typology to explore the transformative ambition of missions, a process to develop impact pathways, an inventory of policy instruments to support the mission design, and indicators to measure mission progress along the developed pathways. Finally, we propose several analytical questions to explore the context for the development of potential impacts.

Abstract:
This SIPRI Background Paper provides an overview of the European Union Training Mission in Mali (EUTM Mali) and assesses its impact on Mali’s conflict dynamics since it was established in 2013. The third of three country-specific papers, it is part of a larger SIPRI project analysing the effectiveness of the EU’s training missions in Somalia, the Central African Republic and Mali. All three papers will feed into a synthesis paper that will offer a comparative analysis of the missions and recommendations for the way forward. This paper analyses EUTM Mali’s main training and advisory activities, before assessing its political and operational impacts. It summarizes the main factors that account for the mission’s successes and limitations, and makes three recommendations to augment the future impact of the mission. It concludes that EUTM Mali has made an impact in terms of military capacity building, but that further progress is needed to improve coordination with the Malian Armed Forces (Forces Armées Maliennes, FAMA). In addition, EUTM Mali faces many obstacles that lie largely beyond its control, including the deteriorating security situation in the centre of Mali and in the border region of Liptako-Gourma

Abstract:
MAGIC is the joint NASA/ESA constellation concept based on NASA’s Mass Change Designated Observable (MCDO) and ESA’s Next Generation Gravity Missions (NGGM) studies. The main objective of MAGIC is to extend the mass transport time series of previous gravity missions such as GRACE and GRACE-FO with significantly enhanced accuracy, spatial and temporal resolutions and to demonstrate the operational capabilities of MAGIC with the goal of answering global user community needs to the greatest possible extent. This document defines unambiguous and traceable requirements for preparing and developing MAGIC. The scope of the MAGIC Mission Requirement Document includes end-to-end Earth observation system including user/scientific requirements, mission operations, data product development and processing, data distribution and data archiving. The intention of the document is also to accommodate results from NASA MCDO study, ESA Phase-0 NGGM and other national studies on future gravity missions. The MAGIC MRD is a NASA/ESA reference document frozen in its current version 1.0 that defines the mission requirements achievable by an optimised two-pair Bender-type constellation of a future implementation. Subsequent ESA and NASA official documents of updated implementation baseline will be traceable to the MAGIC MRD.

Abstract:
Das Stadt der Zukunft (SdZ) Programm des Bundesministerium für Klimaschutz, Umwelt, Energie, Mobilität, Innovation und Technologie (BMK) hat sich aus dem Haus der Zukunft Programm weiterentwickelt und bedient daher eine breitere Stakeholderlandschaft als früher. Zudem gibt es Dezentralisierungstendenzen in der Energieversorgungsbranche sowie das Entstehen neuer AkteurInnen durch neue Innovationen, weshalb sich die Stakeholderdiversität ebenfalls erhöht und das Potenzial haben, Kommunikationsaufgaben komplexer zu machen. Zudem versteht sich das SdZ-Programm als einer der österreichischen Vorreiter der missionsorientierten Innovationsförderung und möchte sich in dieser Tradition weiter in ihrer Abwicklung und Kommunikation Richtung Missionsorientierung entwickeln. Diese Studie stellt sich daher die Frage, wie Programmmanagement und Wissenskommunikation in der missionsorientierten, angewandten Forschung konzipiert und effektiv umgesetzt werden können. Es wurden mittels Literatur- und Dokumentenanalyse, Stakeholderanalyse, zweier internationaler Fallstudien, Interviews mit insgesamt 15 ExpertInnen und AkteurInnen aus den verschiedenen Stakeholdergruppen, zweier Fokusgruppen sowie einem Co-Creationworkshop Rückschlüsse auf die aktuelle Wirkung der Kommunikationsdimensionen des SdZ-Programmes gezogen und Überlegungen hinsichtlich der Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten zu Missionsorientierung nach OECD-Definition angestellt. Das resultierende Modell wurde in einem finalen Reflexionsworkshop mit dem Auftraggeber diskutiert. Der analytische Zugang unterteilt Missionsorientierung für die „Stadt der Zukunft“ in drei Ebenen, wovon die erste die Kommunikation auf Programmebene betrachtet, die zweite Ebene eine programmübergreifende Koordination im Sinne gemeinsamer Missionen überlegt und Ebene 3, auf welcher eine klar definierte „Mission Stadt der Zukunft“ angenommen wird und eine Stakeholderkommunikation als Kooperation in einem komplexen System verstanden wird. Dieses Verständnis wird bei der Entwicklung der Lösungsvorschläge berücksichtigt und einerseits Weiterentwicklungsvorschläge für jeden einzelnen Programmschritt gemacht, um die Kommunikation auf Ebene 1 und 2 nach den drei Hauptfunktionen receive, transmit und collaborate zu verbessern. Eine Kommunikation für Ebene 3, so wird geschlussfolgert, kann am effektivsten über eine offene Kommunikationsarchitektur gelingen, die als Kooperationsplattform orchestriert wird, um möglichst vielen Individuen aller denkbaren Stakeholdergruppen problembasiert dynamische Interaktion und Kollaboration zu ermöglichen. Als Ergebnis liefert diese Studie einen Vorschlag für eine Vorgehensweise, die es ProrammeignerInnen ermöglichen soll, Kommunikation und Programmmanagement für missionsorientierte Innovationsförderung in diesem Kontext zu planen. Folgende drei Schritte werden empfohlen: 1. Die Mission definieren: Typus und Rahmenbedingungen der Mission berücksichtigen. 2. Die Handlungsebene verstehen: Das „Ebenen-Modell“ gibt Empfehlungen, auf welche Kommunikationsaktivitäten auf welcher Ebene besonderer Fokus zu legen ist. 3. Den besten Weg zur Stakeholdereinbindung finden: Je nachdem, auf welcher Ebene die Mission stattfinden soll, werden unterschiedliche Funktionen des Public Engagement Triangle wichtiger. Anhand von zwei konkreten Beispielen für im Rahmen des SdZ-Programmes möglichen hypothetischer (Sub-)Missionen werden nun diese drei Schritte exemplarisch angewendet und gezielt Vorschläge für Management und Kommunikations-Maßnahmen gemacht: 1. Beispiel 1: Mission zur Etablierung von Plus-Energie-Quartieren in Österreich 2. Beispiel 2: Mission zur Realisierung klimaneutraler Städte in Österreich Die in dieser Studie erarbeiteten Modelle und Zugangsweisen sind so konzipiert, dass sie für die Gestaltung beliebiger Missions- und Zielsetzungen nützliche Orientierung geben können.
