Info: Dr Chris Lintott, co-presenter of the 'Sky at Night', STFC Science and Society Fellow and researcher at the University of Oxford, will tell the story of the Hubble Space Telescope. In August, astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis will carry out one of the most difficult repairs in history, with the aim of restoring the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to full working order. Since its launch in 1990, HST has overcome the problem of its flawed mirror to produce a multitude of important scientific discoveries. This lecture will tell its story, and look forward to discoveries still to be made.

Location: Vienna, Austria
Info: In 1958, shortly after the launching of the first artificial satellite, the General Assembly decided to establish an ad hoc Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, with 18 members, in order to consider: the activities and resources of the United Nations, the specialized agencies and other international bodies relating to the peaceful uses of outer space; international cooperation and programmes in the field that could appropriately be undertaken under United Nations auspices; organizational arrangements to facilitate international cooperation in the field within the framework of the United Nations; and legal problems which might arise in programmes to explore outer space.

Location: Pasadena, California, USA
Info: The solar corona accelerates into space to form the supersonic solar wind and push the interstellar medium out of the solar system to distances beyond 100 AU creating the Heliosphere. It also carries the Sun's dipole magnetic field into the Heliosphere filling it with magnetized plasma. The Heliospheric Magnetic Field (HMF) prevents the interstellar plasma and magnetic field from penetrating into the Heliosphere leading to a sharp boundary separating solar and interstellar plasmas. The magnetic dipole is tilted to the Sun's rotation axis and, as the Sun rotates, fast and slow winds interact introducing internal structure and dynamics. Helisopheric dynamics are further enhanced by the penetration of some interstellar constituents into the Heliosphere, namely, neutral gas, electrically- charged interstellar dust and Galactic Cosmic Rays. The structure and dynamics of the heliosphere are profoundly affected by the changes in the solar magnetic field that cause the solar cycle. These physical phenomena will be reviewed based on 17 years of 3D observations by Ulysses, the first spacecraft in a polar orbit that passes above the Sun's polar caps.

Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Info: Explore technological challenges and scientific opportunities associated with entry, descent, landing and flight in planetary atmospheres with fellow scientists, technologists, engineers, mission designers, and policy-makers interested in the exploration of solar system bodies with substantial atmospheres. Building on previous successes, the workshop will promote international cooperation in probe missions to solar system moons and planets with atmospheres and provide students—the next generation of planetary scientists—and spacecraft engineers, an opportunity to participate.

Info: The Space Studies Board (SSB) seminar series takes advantage of the 50th anniversary of the International Geophysical Year (IGY) to engage with the public and the scientific community about the advances that have been achieved over the past 50 years in space science, and the discoveries that await us in the next 50 years. In this context, “space science” incorporates space-based astrophysics, heliophysics, earth science, solar system exploration, and microgravity life and physical sciences. (Add to Google Calendar)
