International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1989 / Town & Country Hotel & Convention Center, San Diego, California / During the current decade, international cooperation in space projects has become more and more popular and this trend is increasing. Initially, this involved only single missions with agencies flying payloads on other agencies' spacecraft. Later, this trend continued with international ventures, involving different agencies. In the immediate future, even more challenging scenarios are foreseen. The best known example and prime driver for such sophisticated missions will be the Space Station Freedom and its participating partners' spacecraft. Some of the international missions (ESA missions) are described briefly in this paper, in order to set the scene for a better understanding of the complex needs for standards within advanced orbiting systems. These ventures call for efficient means for cooperation and interoperability. Part of these requirements can be met by following international standards for space communications and space data systems. The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) undertook the task of integrating the space data systems requirements and developing appropriate recommendations for data systems standards for these Advanced Orbiting Systems (AOS). All international partners in the Space Station Freedom Program participated in the definition, development, and review of the AOS recommendations. The need for better cooperation in space communications via data relay satellite prompted the formation of a three party international panel called the Space Network Interoperability Panel (SNIP). An important aspect is the need for verification and validation of the concept and of the detailed technical recommendations. For the immediate future, special compatibility campaigns, involving the international agencies are planned in order to ensure the smooth application and functioning of the AOS recommendations.

The thesis deals with the issue of the representation of the New World conquest in literature most accessible to the Czech reader, i.e. not only literature of Czech origin but also translations. The thesis contains representation of different kinds of literature and a narratological analysis of work with the selected topic. The work will point out the plurality and diversity of approaches to the topic and the individual authors who interpret the historical event through their texts. Then, with the help of comparing the individual publications, it will identify the author's possibilities to shape the reader's awareness and knowledge of the conquest but also how these can be manipulated. Diachronic comparisons will also point to changes in reception over time.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Douglas Machado.pdf: 1128189 bytes, checksum: 2749c41ecd8769a7b9ae1e25a54f99f1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-02-15 / The present research aims to produce a comparative reading of Columbia (1892), written by John Musick, Los perros del Paraíso (1989), by the Argentinean Abel Posse and A Caravela dos insensatos: uma viagem pela renascença (2006), by the Brazilian Paulo Novaes to expose the characterization of Christopher Columbus' figure in American Literature as a hero on the discovery of America, as well as its deconstruction and its subsequent reconfiguration. The novels in which this comparison was carried out are part of the fictional hybrid genre called historical novel. The first one, written in North America, is a traditional historical novel and it reveals Columbus as a mythical hero of the New World. The second one, written inside the Spanish American context, is a new Latin American historical novel that presents processes of deconstruction of the existing historical speech and gives visibility to the Latin American people so that they are able to make a new reading on their own past. However, the third one, written more recently in our country, brings back the traditional historical novel model and reconfigures Christopher Columbus' traditional heroic-mythical image. Therefore, this novel ignores the voice of the Latin American people and all the critical and deconstructionist production of the Spanish American Literature done along the 20th century, which was based upon deconstructionist resources like parody, carnivalization, intertextuality, anachronies, irony, multiperspectivism and much more. These writings are constantly questioning power relations, control of truth and also deconstruct speeches that had been shaping Latin American s identity. Thus, our research aims to explain the relationship between American and the old European metropolis: colonization, decolonization and maintenance of certain aspects from the colonizatory dependence of America. These processes are reinforced by literary creations; whether they are critical as the new historical novel or traditional, still appealing to the permanence of colonizatory processes that occur by rescuing ethnocentric models of historical and literary references. To do so, we will use a bibliography which enables us to follow the course of the historical novel genre from its European origins until it became the high critical hybrid genre that currently is written in Latin America / A presente pesquisa apresenta uma leitura comparada entre Columbia (1892), do estadunidenese John Musick; Los perros del paraíso (1989), do argentino Abel Posse e A Caravela dos Insensatos: uma viagem pela renascença (2006), do brasileiro Paulo Novaes para evidenciar a caracterização da figura de Cristóvão Colombo na literatura americana sob as configurações do herói do descobrimento, a desconstrução dessa imagem heroico/mítica e a sua posterior reconfiguração. As obras nas quais essa comparação se efetiva são integrantes do gênero ficcional híbrido denominado romance histórico. A primeira delas, escrita em solo norte-americano, situa-se na modalidade do romance histórico tradicional, que revela a figura de Colombo como um herói mítico do Novo Mundo . A segunda, escrita no contexto hispano-americano, é exemplar da modalidade do novo romance histórico latino-americano que apresenta processos de desconstrução do discurso histórico vigente ao dar voz ao sujeito da América Latina para que este seja capaz de efetuar outras leituras sobre o próprio passado. Já a terceira, escrita mais recentemente em nosso país, resgata as tendências da modalidade do romance histórico tradicional e reconfigura a imagem heroico/mítica de Cristóvão Colombo. Com isso essa produção romanesca mais atual ignora a voz do sujeito crítico latino-americano e toda a produção crítica e desconstrucionista hispano-americana do século XX, a qual produziu uma literatura com o emprego de recursos escriturais bastante desconstrucionistas como a paródia, a carnavalização, as intertextualidades, as anacronias, a ironia, o multiperspectivismos e outras mais. Essas escritas constantemente questionam as relações de poder, o controle da verdade e desconstroem enunciados que moldaram a construção identitária dos sujeitos latino-americanos. As análises feitas objetivam, portanto, explicitar a tríplice relação entre a América e as metrópoles europeias: a colonização, a descolonização e a manutenção de certos aspectos da dependência colonizadora da América. Tais processos são reforçados pelas criações literárias, sejam elas as críticas do novo romance histórico ou as tradicionais que ainda apelam à permanência dos processos colonizadores que ocorrem com o resgate dos modelos etnocêntricos de referenciais históricos e literários. Para tanto, utilizaremos um referencial teórico-metodológico que nos oportunize acompanhar a trajetória do gênero romance histórico desde suas origens europeias primeiras até a constituição das modalidades que transformaram essa escrita híbrida em uma das formas mais relevantes da produção literária latino-americana
