A proposed architecture for theater coordination of global space capabilitiesWille, Dennis G. 09 1900 (has links)
This thesis proposes an architecture for the coordination of global space capabilities in a joint force commanderâ s theater of operations. The current architecture for space capabilities coordination in a geographic area of operations is not standardized, and is instead left up to each theater to develop independently. As dependence on space capabilities proliferates to the lowest levels of operations, while the capabilities and products provided by space systems becomes increasingly complex, ad hoc relationships are no longer sufficient. Purely because of physics, assets on orbit are global, rather than theater, in nature, and require a global level of control. The interaction of a unified global controlling organization with disparate theater coordination constructs results in confusion, inefficiency, and potentially lost opportunities to influence or support operations. The standardization of space coordination across theaters will ensure that similarly trained and operating organizations are able to interact within their theater, across theaters, and up to the space command and control organization. This thesis proposes the establishment of a theater space coordination cell on the staff of the joint force commander in order to provide theater-wide space capabilities coordination and reach-back to U.S.-based space resources.

Development of a Long-Term Earth-Moon Trans-Lunar Libration Point Orbit for a Communication Relay SatelliteRowells, Michelle Tamasco 11 May 2013 (has links)
Given the absence of an orbital system to communicate from the far side of the Moon, it is likely that such a system shall be needed in the near future with the continued interest in lunar exploration and utilization. A strategy for a long-term libration orbit at the Earth-Moon L2 point is developed. This strategy allows for uninterrupted two-way communication between the Earth and the far side of the Moon and vice versa while also maintaining low fuel costs, thus increasing the duration of possible missions. A scenario was created in STK that created such an orbit. The results of the scenario predict a total station keeping delta-V cost of only 3.23 m/s for a satellite to stay in the vicinity of the EML2 point for five years.

On Sets and Functions in a Metric SpaceBeeman, Anne L. 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to study some of the properties of metric spaces. An effort is made to show that many of the properties of a metric space are generalized properties of R, the set of real numbers, or Euclidean n--space, and are specific cases of the properties of a general topological space.

The commercialisation of the international space station /Koulikova, Ioulia. January 2000 (has links)
The assembly of the International Space Station opened a new era of space exploration. It also created new challenges for the lawyers that had to deal with new issues related to this endeavour. This study will focus on the prospect of commercialisation of the ISS and on the legal problems that could appear with respect to this undertaking. By examining available markets and managing structure of the ISS, this study will reveal the potential and the drawbacks of the international enterprise. Furthermore, the detailed analysis of the Intergovernmental Agreement signed by the State Partners to the ISS will describe the particularities of ISS' legal regime, especially emphasising on the Intellectual Property provisions and other issues not covered by the cross waiver of liability.

Legal and technical considerations of space debrisHürl, Kay-Uwe. January 2000 (has links)
This thesis deals with the technical and legal measures presently available to combat space debris. Space debris is not as far out as it sounds. The issue is real and may become severe if no action is taken. / Focusing on existing legal instruments, this study shows their inadequacy in addressing space debris. As space debris was not considered an actual or a legal problem at the time of drafting, the provisions of international space law fail to provide solutions in certain areas. / Recommendations for the future are made. Considering the increase in outer space activities, solutions for the space debris threat are a necessity. Developing technology will only solve some of the problems as the amount of space debris proliferates in collisions of existing debris. Therefore, legal challenges will also be faced, some of which are discussed herein.

Legal aspects of the use of force in spaceGleeson, Patrick K. January 2005 (has links)
As the advantages of space based systems to support global communications, data transfer, navigation and military activities have been identified and exploited through the decades, the economic and security well being of many nations has become increasingly dependent upon space. In a world of evolving threats, dependence has highlighted the vulnerability of space assets. This thesis considers the current legal framework governing outer space and whether or not the framework supports space weaponization and the use of force in space. Chapter One provides an overview of the journey into space and how the military has taken advantage of space. In Chapter Two, the international legal regime governing outer space is analyzed, and the principle of "peaceful purposes" examined. Chapter Three considers the legal authority to resort to the use of force under international law, how that law applies in the outer space environment and briefly addresses arms control restrictions in outer space. Chapter Four focuses on the future, considering the question of whether or not space weaponization and the use of force in space are inevitable developments in the evolution of uses of space or, if there are viable alternatives that will address valid security concerns while preserving space as a weapons free environment.
