Presentation Transcript

  1. Workshop 1 Outer Space Use / Knowledge / Power

  2. Power generation (1) • Helium-3 • Nuclear fusion • Great reserves on Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Moon • Hydrogene • Synthesis of water (no nuclear waste!) • Nuclear fusion (rare isotopes D and T)

  3. Power generation (2) • Solar power • Solar cells in space • black hole • Radiation while contact with matter → solution of problems with fossile fuels

  4. Military Use

  5. Rubbish in space • old rockets (parts) • satellites • Burn up while falling through atmosphere

  6. Galileo Project • 30 Satellites until 2010, only civil use (telecommunication, logistics, navigation), 27 Nation (EU) • 3,3 billions € (building), 220 million €/year • Independence of US-Systems

  7. Inventions and discoveries • Fuel cell • Velcro fastener • Weather forecast • TV • Hole in the ozon layers • Micro chips • Calculator (Apollo mission)

  8. India (and developing countries) • 1.13 billion people • Unemployment 7.2 % • Illiterate people 33% • People below the poverty line 25% • Living with less than 1$/day 44% • 2.2 Billion $ invested in Space research

  9. Pro and Contra (1) • European opinion about the undeveloped states starting space exploration: • + • Information about climate and geographical stuff • International space and research programs • Global balance of space use • - • Loss of power (identity / pride of nationality) • Money would be better used if it’s spent on education and rural regions

  10. Pro and Contra (2) • Should India (or in general developing countries) invest large sums of money into space exploration? • + • Information about climate and harvest • Equality (why shouldn’t we?) • Safety (military and civil problems, protection against Pakistan) • Global balance of space use • Independence (self-confidence) • Energy resources • Knowledge • satellites • - • money probably better used for educational/civil purposes ( many Indians can’t read or write) • infrastructure • education • against poverty  food
