Human
Activity in Space (18 papers)
Papers submitted to this Session represented two
question areas: - advanced programs and technologies for manned space flight; -
cosmonauts training problems.
Paper by Soloviev V.A. and Lubinsky V.E. (RSC Energia)
examined the aims of human research and exploration of Solar System planets.
According to the authors the main factor determining
the necessity of human research and exploration of the Moon and Mars is to
insure the survival of humanity and Earth civilization in case of global
disaster which can occur if our planet collides with an asteroid or due to
another possible natural or anthropogenic cause. An acceptable option is to
create an autonomous manned base on the Moon or Mars. In addition to providing
habitat, this base should preserve genetic material of all species of flora and
fauna, including human beings. It should also store a constantly refreshin fund of knowledge, technologies and works of
culture collected by the humanity.
Moon base projects development is illustrated in paper
by I.V. Barmin, A.V. Yegorov
et al. (General Machine-Building Design Bureau (KBOM),
The idea of deploying human outposts on the Moon was
first proposed back in the mid

According to Prof. V.A.Menshikov
the initiative on system development should come from International
Academy of Astronautics. After the extensive discussion of the project by
scientific community IAA should appeal to UNO (UNEP - United Nations
Environmental Program) for UN support and start of "Creation of
International Aerospace System for Monitoring of Global Phenomena" Project.
The meeting unanimously approved of idea of such
international aerospace system development itemizing the absolute timeliness of
proposal. At the same time the meeting participants advised to organize a
workshop at IAA Academic Day in
Results of the Conference were summed up in a
Memorandum signed by IAA and RACTs Presidents.
MEMORANDUM
Results of the 1st
IAA-RACTs Conference
The 1st Conference "Space for Humanity" held by International Academy
of Astronautics and
Representatives from 14 countries, including
Belarus, Canada, Czech Republic, China, France, Germany, Italy, Republic of
Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Taiwan, Ukraine, USA took part in the
conference. At the conference commencement meeting the leaders of Roskosmos, Moscow Region and Korolev
city authorities, representatives of public organizations greeted the guests.
At plenary session the Heads of both Academies (conference organizers)
announced the purposes and basic directions of activity of these organizations,
their structure and tasks being solved nowadays. Promising directions of
international scientific and technical cooperation in space development were
planned as well.
Heads of some leading organizations of
space-and-rocket industry showed working conditions in the field of practical
outer space exploration and shared the information concerning solving the most
pressing problems. They also outlined promising research directions including
history and prospects of Russian-Ukrainian cooperation in international
projects; contribution of Arianespace Corporation and EADS Astrium
Space Transportation to space exploration; prospects of space-rocket systems development
by S.P. Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation Energia; international cooperation in the field of
preparation and realization of manned space flights carried out by Yu. Gagarin
Cosmonaut Training Center; promising developments of Khrunichev
Space Center; new automatic space complexes of S.A. Lavochkin
Scientific Production Association for planetary and astrophysical researches;
main directions of "TsSKB-Progress" Samara Space
Centre activity. To attract investments into space branch it was useful to consider
risks insurance of space activity in which
Conference sessions were held in four basic
directions: space and society; space engineering, systems, infrastructure;
basic researches of space and international cooperation; space and energy of
the future. The range of presentations was wide enough: from system development
of space activity in
The conference highlighted and determined the
most important promising directions of domestic and world global astronautics,
such as:
-
Complex research
of astronautics problems, complying with global tasks of world and national
activity;
-
Development of
global concept of space activity, particularly in the 21st century;
-
Integration of
efforts of Academies and countries taking part in conference in direction of
creation and deployment of International Multifunctional Aerospace System for
Monitoring of Global Events;
-
Participation in
development of federal programs in the field of space activity;
-
Long-term
forecasting of space activity development;
-
Assistance in
introduction of new progressive technologies into astronautics;
-
Independent scientific and technical examination of space projects;
-
Development of fundamental
bases of astronautics and solution of its certain problems;
-
Estimation of expected
results of future manned flights to the Moon and Mars;
-
Estimation of possibility of
power supply from space to the Earth;
-
Preventing large space
objects from colliding with the Earth;
-
Development of international
project of heavy carrier-rocket for distant manned flights.
The conference attracts attention of world
community to global character of practical results of outer space exploration
and appeals for mobilization and consolidation of efforts of all countries in
this area to provide stability and safety of all people on the Earth.
The conference recommends to IAA to hold round
table concerning creation and deployment of International Multifunctional
Aerospace System for Monitoring of Global Events during Academy Day in
The conference recommends to IAA to consider
participants' desire to hold a round table "Space and Human" during the 3rd
International Conference "Space and Society" in Dniepropetrovsk,
on 15-17 April, 2009.
Conference entrusts to Organizing Committee to
get this Memorandum to state and public organizations of countries that take
part in conference.
The conference
organizers and participants express gratitude to Moscow Region and Korolev city, and Jubileiniy city
authorities and also to Program committee and Organizing Committee for
impressing work, which was made on preparation and holding the conference.
It is recommended to hold a joint
IAA-RACTs conference in
