Section I. Space Researches in University Education - near-Earth Space Environment and Geophysics

A NOVEL APPROACH OF SATELLITE TRACKING OF ENDANGERED SPECIES

Bhaskar S. (Bhaskar Center Of Innovative Sciences And Research, Chennai, India) einsteinbhaskar@gmail.com
This paper aims at studying the behavior of migratory birds and tracking endangered species of birds like swam, cranes etc using wildlife tracking satellite. Data collected through satellite tracking helps us to understand and protect the endangered and threatened species of the world. Scientists have attached tiny transmitters to wild animals for years, tracking their radio signals with receivers nearby on the ground. Now they track wildlife ranging over much wider areas with receivers high above the ground. A receiver in an orbiting space satellite can hear a transmitter attached to an animal. Even if the animal is out of sight over the horizon from a tracker on the ground, a satellite high in space still can hear the transmitter and repeat its signal down to trackers on the ground. The research comprises of study of factors such as breeding movements, spring and fall migration of migratory birds.

PROGRESS IN LUNAR EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES

Burke J.D. (The Planetary Society, Pasadena, CA, USA), Zhdanovich O. (International Space University) jdburke@its.caltech.edu
With the resuming of robotic lunar mission planning in several countries, there is an opportunity for including educational activities at low cost and minimal interference with primary mission goals. This paper describes current initiatives in that direction by members of The Planetary Society and the International Space University.

THE ROLE OF SOUNDING ROCKET EXPERIMENTS IN SPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY

Chakrabarti S. (Center for Space Physics Boston University Boston, MA, USA) supc@bu.edu
Sounding rocket programs at Boston University provide unique opportunities to train future space scientists and engineers. Besides tting the typical schedule of a student, they allow a small group of students to be involved in all aspects of a space pro ject from its inception through execution to a conclusion involving scientic discovery. These programs are cradles of innovations where the interdisciplinary nature of space experimentation is nurtured. They typically involve a number of students who gain in-depth experience into well-dened and critical components of a space mission. The sounding rocket experiments oer an opportunity to take more risks in terms of their science return. Some of these risks come in the form of new technology invention and development. Sounding rockets, with their exible schedule and fewer formal procedural requirements, thus play an important role in maturing technology and developing new capabilities for satellite missions. In this talk we will highlight the unique aspects of several sounding rocket experiments that we have conducted. We will also describe a Student Launch Program experiment where the proposal was developed as a class pro ject in the astronomy department at Boston University and the ight hardware was built through the Senior Design Pro ject class in the College of Engineering. The students involved in this program gained valuable experience with a minisatellite mission. These sounding rocket experiments and satellite missions have spawned a culture of interdisciplinary space experimentation at Boston University. We believe that these programs are essential for the long-term vitality of the space program and a technology-savvy workforce of the 21st Century.

NSPO'S MICROSATELLITE PROGRAMS

Chen Y.S., Wu B. (National Space Organization, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan) yenchen@nspo.org.tw
A six-microsatellite constellation was recently launched as part of a meteorological research initiative of the National Space Organization (NSPO) of Taiwan. When reached their nal mission orbits, the constellation will provide thousands of data points covering the globe for the research community daily. From satellite design, launch, deployment to their operation, data processing and dissemination, the nal outputs will benet the science community with better atmospheric data and whether prediction capabilities. Other initiatives of university microsatellites managed by NSPO are aiming at enhancing the science and engineering education with hand-on experience of the academic teams and promoting international cooperation in exchanging design experience and science experiment ideas.

PARTICLE DETECTORS NETWORKS FOR THE FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS, SPACE WEATHER AND EDUCATION

Chilingarian A. (Alikhanyan Physics Institute, Yerevan, Armenia) chili@crd lx5.yerphi.am
A network of middle to low latitude particle detectors called SEVAN (Space Environmental Viewing and Analysis Network) is planned to be developed within the framework of the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) in order to improve fundamental research of the space weather conditions and provide possibilities to perform short and long-term forecasts of the dangerous consequences of the space storms. The network will detect changing uxes of the most of species secondary cosmic rays at dierent altitudes, latitudes and longitudes those constituting powerful integrated device in exploring solar modulation eects. Based on our experience with data analysis of multivariate time-series from particle detectors located at Aragats Space-Environmental Center in Armenia we designed and fabricated several new-types of particle detectors measuring charged and neutral component of secondary cosmic rays. In order to keep the instruments inexpensive the options are kept exible by using modular designs. The price of a fully autonomous single unit, with facility to send data to the internet will not exceed $20,000 US, so that the network of nations involved in space research can be signicantly expanded to enable them to participate in IHY. At any time one can cascade these single units to achieve additional functionality. Like the world network of neutron monitors, the new monitors will measure the neutron uxes and in addition they will measure charged particle uxes with dierent energy thresholds, thus allowing the investigation of additional populations of primary ions. These units plan to be deployed at universities and research centers of the developing countries to perform survey and monitoring of most dangerous space storms and to introduce the space research to new generations of students and researchers.

An optical detector that is a part of the research equipment system installed aboard the MSU research and educational supersmall satellite "Universitetskiy-Tatyana" and intended to study the atmosphere in the ultraviolet spectrum is described. The method of digital oscilloscope was applied for recording time proles of the atmosphere glow intensity in a wide range of durations. Intense ultraviolet ashes have been detected in the equatorial region of the Earth. Examples of temporal proles of the ashes recorded by the detector, their geographical coordinates distribution and measured atmospheric radiation intensities including Aurora light are presented.

THE UNITED NATIONS BASIC SPACE SCIENCE INITIATIVE

Haubold H.J. (United Nations Oce for Outer Space Aairs, Vienna, Austria) hans.haubold@unvienna.org
Pursuant to recommendations of the United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE III) and deliberations of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS), annual UN/European Space Agency workshops on basic space science have been held around the world since 1991. These workshops contributed to the development of astrophysics and space science, particularly in developing nations. Following a process of prioritization, the workshops identied the following elements as particularly important for international cooperation in the eld: 1. operation of astronomical telescope facilities implementing TRIPOD, 2. virtual observatories, 3. astrophysical data systems, 4. concurrent design capabilities for the development of international space missions, and 5. theoretical astrophysics such as applications of nonextensive statistical mechanics. Beginning in 2005, the workshops focus on preparations for the International Heliophysical Year 2007 (IHY2007). The workshops continue to facilitate the establishment of astronomical telescope facilities as pursued by Japan and the development of low-cost, ground-based, world-wide instrument arrays as lead by the IHY secretariat.

The "Universitetskiy-Tatyana" is a supersmall satellite launched on January 20, 2005. Despite the fact that 2005 was the quiet Sun year, several solar energetic particle events were observed. Energy spectra of proton uxes for ve solar events were studied using data from the "Universitetskiy-Tatyana" supersmall satellite ying on the polar orbit at the altitude of 950 km and inclination of 83 degrees. Proton uxes were measured within the wide energy range (E>1 MeV) by the instrument designed and created at SINP MSU. The solar energetic particle distribution (peaked values of uxes during a solar event) was described by a power law function of rigidity. Spectral indices of the energy spectra for proton uxes measured onboard the "UniversitetskiyTatyana" satellite and GOES satellites t satisfactory. Features of solar energetic particle event occurrence in quiet Sun years are discussed. Identity of the studied energy spectra with ones measured during the other periods of solar activity is presented.

Special manuals in the form of atlases of satellite images and their interpretation results are within the best tools for support of the geographical and ecological research and thematic mapping. The team of the Moscow State University geographers, in cooperation with the Institute of Space Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, and other organizations, have developed a series of such atlases. The rst two volumes, named "Interpretation of multiband aerospace images. Techniques and results" were devoted to the processing of the multispectral imagery. The rst one is based on photoimages, taken with MKF-6 camera from Soyuz-22 spacecraft. The second volume used images taken by Fragment scanner system from Meteor-30 satellite. They were prepared in the international cooperation within the frames of "Intercosmos" and were published in 1982 and 1988 in Berlin in three languages: Russian, English and German. The following triad is the methodological basis of the atlases: satellite images - interpretation techniques - interpretation results. In 1997 the new scientic-methodological atlas "Space Methods for Geoecology", prepared by the geographers of the Moscow State University, was published. It represents the methods of satellite images' application for ecological purposes. It generalizes the experience and achievements on space methods application in geoecology and shows the ways of satellite images use in wide spectrum of geographical investigations, also for geoecological monitoring and for investigation and solution of the ecological problems. The Atlas characterizes the possibilities of space methods for investigation of the global ecological problems, such as global climate warming, loss of plant
