Ten Propositions Regarding Spacepower
Schools of thought on American spacepower -- The ten propositions -- A spacepower theory. "As political and military leaders ponder the future of space operations, the time has come to frame propositions regarding space power. Specifically, the author seeks to answer the question, "What is the nature of space power?" Two points come immediately to the forefront of this work. First, space power is different from airpower even though both share the vertical dimension of warfare. Second, space operations have matured to a point wherein valid and unique propositions regarding space power are identifiable. The objective of this work is to stimulate discussions and encourage those who do not yet understand or appreciate the nature of space power in modern warfare."--AU Press web site.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A Space Corps Structure Based on the National Reconnaissance Office Organizational Model
The Space Commission recommendations to realign Air Force space activities were only the first steps towards further reorganization of the national security space community. They also recommended eventually merging Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) into a single organization responsible for the development, acquisition and operation of the nation's military and intelligence space systems. However, the NRO and AFSPC use different organizational structures for their operations and acquisition responsibilities. This paper explores their recommendation to merge AFSPC and the NRO, and proposes a Space Corps organization. Using Luther Gulick's organizational theories on the division and coordination of work to analyze the current AFSPC and NRO organizations, the research shows that the NRO's mission-based organizational model would be the most effective structure for the new Space Corps.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Analysis of Plasma Bubble Signatures in the Ionosphere
Plasma bubbles are large scale structures of depleted plasma density in Earth's ionosphere that disrupt radio and satellite communications, to include global navigation satellite systems. This study used the Ionospheric Forecast Model (IFM) to analyze affected look angles and total electron content (TEC) differences due to plasma bubbles of various sizes for 27 geophysical conditions consisting of different seasons and levels of solar and geomagnetic activity at 421 GPS ground stations worldwide. Overall, different geographic locations and plasma bubble configurations produced different affected look angle profiles. Bigger plasma bubbles, larger density depletion factors, higher levels of solar activity and the equinoctial months resulted in greater slant TEC differences and, hence, greater communication problems. The results of this study not only improved the accuracy of the Air Force's operational ionospheric model and space weather forecasting capability, but also provided military leaders with a clear picture of the expected plasma bubble impacts to communications reliability when planning and executing military operations from the strategic to tactical level.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Analysis of Airborne Radar Altimetry Measurements of the Greenland Ice Sheet
This dissertation presents an analysis of airborne altimetry measurements taken over the Greenland ice sheet with the 13.9 GHz Advanced Application Flight Experiment (AAFE) pulse compression radar altimeter. This Ku-band instrument was refurbished in 1990 by the Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts to obtain high-resolution altitude measurements and to improve the tracking, speed, storage and display capabilities of the radar. In 1991 and 1993, the AAFE altimeter took part in the NASA Multisensor Airborne Altimetry Experiments over Greenland, along with two NASA laser altimeters. Altitude results from both experiments are presented along with comparisons to the laser altimeter and calibration passes over the Sondrestroem runway in Greenland. Although it is too early to make a conclusion about the growth or decay of the ice sheet, these results show that the instrument is capable of measuring small-scale surface changes to within 14 centimeters. In addition, results from these experiments reveal that the radar is sensitive to the different diagenetic regions of the ice sheet. Return waveforms from the wet- snow, percolation and dry-snow zones show varying effects of both surface scattering and sub-surface or volume scattering. Models of each of the diagenetic regions of Greenland are presented along with parameters such as rms surface roughness, rms surface slope and attenuation coefficient of the snow pack obtained by fitting the models to actual return waveforms.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

China in Space
On 8 October 1956, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, presided over by Mao Tse-tung, established the Fifth Research Academy of the Ministry of National Defense to develop a space effort. This was the official beginning of the People's Republic of China (PRC) space program. Just four years later, on 5 November 1960, China launched its first rocket becoming the fourth country behind Germany, the United States, and the Soviet Union, to enter space. The Chinese space program has survived periods of traumatic upheaval during its 44-year history. Today, space is the cornerstone of China's national science and technology development effort. Beijing is advancing China's space program on a number of fronts hoping to become a recognized international space power. The Chinese leadership under Jiang Zemin wants China to become a strong, modern, and ultimately wealthy nation, in short a great power. Given its natural resources, manpower, nuclear forces, seat on the UN Security Council, and growing economy, China wants parity with other great powers. To do this Beijing has crafted a national development strategy led by certain sectors. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how China's space program aids the government in reaching for great power.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Validation and Assessment of DMSP Electron Temperatures in the Topside Ionosphere
Geomagnetic disturbances in the near earth space environment can adversely affect numerous military and Department of Defense (DoD) systems and operations. To improve the prediction accuracy of such disturbances, the Global Assimilation of Ionospheric Measurements (GAIM) working group is spearheading an effort to incorporate near real-time ionospheric measurements into the next generation of space environment forecast models. Since the model software is designed to automate the data ingest process, the need arises to examine and validate the quality of such measurements before being assimilated into such a model. One such measurement to explore, which is the focus of this research, is the Defense Military Satellite Program (DMSP) measured electron temperature (Te). DMSP Te data were validated against near simultaneous incoherent scatter radar (ISR) Te measurements from Millstone Hill, MA and Sondrestrom, Greenland for a select 43 conjunctions between Winter 1996 and Summer 2000. DMSP Te measurements for a given overpass were averaged, while ISR Te values were either averaged or extrapolated, depending on the ISR mode, to determine Te comparison values. In some cases, instrument related anomalies produced unreliable measurements. Of the 37 Millstone and six Sondrestrom conjunctions compared, DMSP Te values exceeded ISR Te values by an average of about 25 percent, which is nearly three times the mean ISR uncertainty. Photoelectrons collected by the DMSP Electron Probe contaminated Te values particularly during solar minimum.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A City on Mars
* THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Winner of the Hugo Award * Scientific American's #1 Book for 2023 * Winner of Royal Society's Trivedi Prize * A Guardian Best Book of 2024 * A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice * A Times Best Science and Environment Book of 2023 * A Tor.com Best Book of 2023 * "Exceptional. . . Forceful, engaging and funny . . . This book will make you happy to live on this planet -- a good thing, because you're not leaving anytime soon." --New York Times Book Review From the bestselling authors of Soonish, a brilliant and hilarious off-world investigation into space settlement EARTH IS NOT WELL. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away--no climate change, no war, no doomscrolling--beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren't so sure it's a good idea. Space technologies and space businesses are progressing fast, but we lack the knowledge needed to have space kids, build space farms, and create space nations in a way that doesn't spark conflict back home. In a world hurtling toward human expansion into space, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won't create nightmares, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process, the Weinersmiths answer every question about space you've ever wondered about, and many you've never considered: Can you make babies in space? Should corporations govern space settlements? What about space war? Are we headed for a housing crisis on the Moon's Peaks of Eternal Light--and what happens if you're left in the Craters of Eternal Darkness? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals, what's the legal status of space cannibalism? With deep expertise, a winning sense of humor, and art from the beloved creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself--whether and how to become multiplanetary. Get in, we're going to Mars.
Otherwhere Ethnography
What happens when contemporary space exploration outgrows Space Age modernity? In this volume, a collective of social scientists and humanities scholars provides an introduction to the emerging field of outer space studies. This is done by means of "otherwhere ethnography," richly detailed accounts of how space research and space enterprises are being rethought in an age where extraterrestrial exploration is no longer the monopoly of a handful of superpowers. While many off-Earth endeavours remain embedded within characteristically modern forms of thought--scientism, productivism, extractivism, (neo-)colonialism--there is also an emerging trend to move away from such ingrained conceptual frameworks. If one looks beyond the much-hyped projects of billionaire space gurus and their coterie of rocket-obsessed followers, one notices that Space Age modernity can also be thought otherwise, and that the very idea of "exploration" has already mutated into something else. Outer space studies can be envisaged as the antenna that seeks to capture this momentous, ongoing mutation.

From Dying Stars to the Birth of Life
With the beginning of the new 21st century, mankind is 竅finally close to being able to answer the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe. The rise of computers and rocket science in the last half of the 20th century allowed scientists to make two amazing discoveries that indicated life may be widespread throughout our universe. In the1970s, life scientists started 竅finding small bacterial-like creatures living on our planet in extreme hostile environments that everyone believed should instantly kill any living things. Some of these life-forms lived in hot or boiling water that was extremely salty, acidic, or alkaline. A few made their homes inside icebergs, while others lived inside rocks located miles below ground, or even on the power rods of nuclear power plants. These fi竅ndings challenged science's long held belief that life is an extremely complicated and fragile process that demands equally complex and fragile environmental conditions. These strange creatures (which scientists call extremophiles or "lovers of extreme environments") appear to be the direct descendants of the earliest life-forms that evolved on earth almost four billion years ago when our world was extremely hot and believed to be totally incompatible with any kind of life. Scientists suddenly realized that life may be far more resilient, flexible, and adaptable than previously believed possible and might easily evolve on other worlds that have environmental conditions that are very different from those found on earth. Then, in the 1990s, astronomers began discovering that "homes" for alien or extraterrestrial life might also be very common in the universe. Powerful new ground-based and space telescopes have confi竅rmed that our sun is only one of innumerable stars in our galaxy that has planets circling it. Many scientists now believe that de竅finitive evidence of extraterrestrial life will be found well before the end of the 21st century.

The Russell Cosmogony; A New Concept of Light, Matter, and Energy
In this visionary work, artist-philosopher-scientist Walter Russell offers a bold and revolutionary framework for understanding the nature of the universe. Challenging the assumptions of conventional science, The Russell Cosmogony presents a dynamic, holistic vision in which light is the fundamental substance of creation, and energy, matter, and motion are unified through universal principles of rhythm and balance.Drawing from both scientific inquiry and intuitive insight, Russell redefines cosmology as an interplay of consciousness and physics, bridging the gap between the material and the metaphysical. He outlines a universe not of chaos, but of order, design, and purposeful intelligence, in which the seen and unseen are governed by spiritual law.Profoundly original and deeply provocative, The Russell Cosmogony invites readers to reconsider their understanding of life, light, and the cosmic plan. It is essential reading for seekers, scientists, and thinkers drawn to the edge where science meets spirit.
Confidence in Life
Confidence in Life offers a theologically-robust evaluation of the good of procreation, which emerges out of both careful interactions with contemporary analytic philosophy and a reconstructed reading of Karl Barth's doctrine of (pro)creation. While analytic moral philosophy has rarely been brought into close proximity to Barth's work, the conjunction underscores the deep difficulty of accounting for procreation's value within non-theological frameworks, and helps clarify what is distinctive and valuable about Barth's own moral reasoning on this subject. Though primarily staged as an intervention in Protestant moral theology, Confidence in Life's rehabilitation of the Virgin Mary's role in Barth's thought has promise for an ecumenical retrieval of the good of procreating within the economy of redemption-and its retrieval of honour as an indispensable aspect of Barth's theology will be of interest to Barth scholars and moral theologians alike.
The Machinery Of The Universe Mechanical Conceptions Of Physical Phenomena
The machinery of the universe: Mechanical conceptions of physical phenomena explores the principles of physics and astronomy, focusing on mechanical explanations of physical phenomena, particularly the transformation of energy and the role of matter and the ether. The work aims to clarify complex scientific concepts while rejecting outdated metaphysical interpretations, advocating for a mechanical understanding of the universe. The opening section contrasts ancient and modern ideas, illustrating the evolution of thought about forces, energy, and matter. Historical figures like Newton are referenced to highlight past contributions and misconceptions regarding concepts such as 'imponderables.' The work stresses the need for a more precise mechanical interpretation of energy transformation, suggesting that all physical phenomena can be understood through the concepts of motion and energy interaction. This perspective challenges metaphysical explanations and sets the stage for a systematic examination of the relationships between matter and ether. The subsequent chapters continue to build on this foundation, analyzing the mechanical nature of the universe and proposing a clearer understanding of the underlying forces and energy dynamics that govern the cosmos.

Extreme Exploration
This book describes a relatively unsung triumph of the Apollo program. The extreme limitation of resources available for exploring the lunar surface required the creation of an altogether new approach to science and exploration-- the "Apollo Approach," also known as the "Extreme Science Approach." This book analyses the record of Apollo and essential pre-Apollo precursor (Ranger, Surveyor, Lunar Orbiter) programs, including firsthand interviews with the people involved; recently archived training, simulation, planning documentation; and the Apollo Lunar Surface Log, to show how the missions to the Moon created a novel baseline for field exploration. As we approach the new series of Artemis missions, the book looks forward, applying what Apollo taught us to the scientific exploration that will be conducted in the future. With each breakthrough, Apollo created the foundations not only for lunar missions, but for any space exploration activity that followed. This book will show you how it did so, and what's next.
The Art face of the Universe
"What if the universe isn't just math and matter, but melody and mirror, dream and dance?"The Art Face of the Universe is not your typical nonfiction book. It doesn't hand you facts like a textbook, nor does it settle for easy mysticism. Instead, it dares to wander through stars, stories, particles, and poems, asking the oldest questions in the newest ways. What is time? Is death a pause or a page-turn? Are we living a scripted destiny or improvising reality with every breath?I invite you on a contemplative journey that sits at the crossroads of science, philosophy, and artistic intuition. With lyrical prose and mind-expanding metaphors, he explores topics like the Big Bounce, simulated realities, emotional geometry, and quantum observation-not to prove or preach, but to provoke wonder.Drawing from sources as diverse as Hindu cosmology, modern physics, Jungian psychology, and artistic abstraction, this book doesn't claim to know "the truth." It offers something more useful: new ways to think, feel, and imagine the universe-within you and beyond.Highlights you'll experience: A poetic yet intellectually provocative reinterpretation of time, death, and reality.Artistic and metaphorical re-readings of scientific concepts like the observer effect, quantum fluctuations, and entropy.Cross-cultural reflections grounded in Vedic traditions and modern cosmological thought.A contemplative, immersive narrative style that feels part meditation, part conversation.This is not a manual. Not a doctrine. Not a spiritual sales pitch.This is a thought experiment in book form-an invitation to step beyond certainty and sit in the wonder.So, if you've ever looked at the stars and felt more than curiosity-felt a pull, a silence, a sense that something both ancient and personal was staring back-you may find yourself at home in these pages.Read it not to find answers, but to fall in love with better questions.
The Eternal Dimension
The Eternal Dimension: The Reason Before RealityWhat if the universe isn't the starting point-but a consequence?In this bold and mind-expanding journey, Steven Lizarazo explores the deep logic beneath time, matter, and consciousness. Blending mathematics, metaphysics, and cutting-edge science, The Eternal Dimension argues that reality rests on something timeless: an immaterial source where information, language, and mind converge. Clear, provocative, and deeply resonant, offers a compelling answer to one of life's oldest questions: Why does anything exist at all?

The Cellular Cosmogony
In this singular work of visionary cosmology and fervent conviction, Cyrus Reed Teed-self-declared messiah and founder of Koreshanity-lays out a radical reinterpretation of the universe.The Cellular Cosmogony presents Teed's belief that humanity lives not on the outside but within the concave interior of a hollow Earth, with the Sun, stars, and moon suspended at its core. Rejecting conventional science-from Copernican astronomy to optics and chemistry-Teed constructs a world governed by divine revelation rather than empirical method. Positioned amid 19th-century religious utopian movements and pseudoscientific ideologies, this book reflects the era's deep spiritual searching and mistrust of institutional authority. Teed's sweeping, often impenetrable theories were undergirded by elaborate experiments and communal devotion. A compelling study in belief and delusion, The Cellular Cosmogony offers enduring insight into the human desire to reorder reality through faith.
Cosmos, Man and Society
COSMOS, MAN AND SOCIETY considers every field of human knowledge and presents the first complete synthesis that closely relates each part of life into a harmonious and intelligent whole, extending from the early history of man to modern cosmic science and including in its scope ethnology, medicine, world politics and economics, ethics and all human culture. The aim of Cosmos, Man and Society is to teach and make known the new science of Paneubiotics which shows the way to live the maximum good life in every respect and which will ultimately lead to the creation of a perfect human race. Szekely presents a visionary framework that seeks to reintegrate the fragmented domains of science, philosophy, ecology, and spirituality. Drawing on sources as diverse as ancient Essene texts, Eastern cosmologies, and Western metaphysics, Szekely articulates a comprehensive worldview-Paneubiotics-where cosmic order, human consciousness, and societal well-being are understood as inseparably linked. His method blends textual exegesis, comparative cosmology, and natural science, offering a bold synthesis that anticipates later developments in systems theory and deep ecology.This work occupies a unique place in 20th-century intellectual history, bridging perennial philosophy with ecological humanism. It challenges both reductionist materialism and abstract idealism by proposing a living, participatory cosmos in which human beings are active agents of harmony or dissonance. As a synthesis rooted in philological rigor and visionary insight, Cosmos, Man and Society remains an essential reference for scholars exploring integrative approaches to the human condition within the natural world.
