10/7/22: Discuss MR paper draft

 Agenda and Minutes

 l. Updates

• HA: We may hear about the paper on or about Oct. 23, judging by last time. (Note: OAS said we could submit excerpt to thespacereview.com. Or we could do an updated S-curve figure in early 2023 with 2022 data and submit then.)
• RS: paper will appear in issue 3 or 4 of 2022 (issue 4 comes out in Jan. 2023).
  
• PT: Thank you to those attending his proposal presentation yesterday. Awaiting an evaluation from one committee member who had an emergency and was not there and will view the recording. RS requests the updated slides. Paper: revise and resubmit by the Nov. 8 deadline.
  
• MH: Looking at endogenous growth theory after hitting block on patent tool. 
• What else?
• Recent space activities? 
• DART mission update next time? Camera (LICIAcube) is still in existence.
  
• Here is the lunar calendar for 2022. This is a new potential hiccup in developing a Moore's law for deep space vessel lifetimes.
1. Launched: CAPSTONE, a 12-unit CubeSat, lunar orbiter with 9-month planned lifetime, launched after delays. Launch vehicle Lunar Photon may also be a separate independent deep space vessel.
   
2. Future: Artemis 1 mission launch was delayed a few times, is now rescheduled for a some time yet to come.
   
• Payload: Orion capsule with no crew, will not be reused, and short lifetime of 25 days ending in reentry and recovery
• Contents: instruments, etc.
• Payloads: Multiple CubeSats including JAXA's OMOTENASHI
3. Future: CLPS-1 (Peregrine Mission One), launching in Q4 2022
• Payload: Peregrine lander with short lifetime
• Contents: rovers, instruments, etc. with longer lifetimes
  
4. Future: CLPS-2 (IM-1) (Intuitive Machines 1), launching Dec. 22
• Payload: Nova-C lander (lifetime: 1 lunar day)
• Contents: instruments, rover, CubeSat camera
• DOGE 1 (CubeSat)
• Lunar Flashlight (CubeSat)
5. Future: Luna 25, launching Sept. (doubtful?) by Russia
6. Future: Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM), JAXA vessel launching in 2022, short lifetime of 2-3 weeks in orbit and several days after landing

2. Reading and discussion

• New reading. MR paper (C:\Users\jdberleant\Dropbox\research\SpaceTravelMetric-b6-5-16\PapersAndPresentations\byOthers\MatthewRoughanDraft.pdf. We read parts of it but still need to read section 6 up to 6.1 (which we did read).
  
• Possible readings/videos that have not yet been scanned and voted on. As time allows, read/view paragraph/minute or two of each and vote: Should we read it in more depth? 5=strongly agree, 4=agree, 3=neutral, 2=disagree, 1=strongly disagree.
• Newly added 9/16/22: J. Trancik, Testing and improving technology forecasts for better climate policy, PNAS 2021.
• Chad Jones, https://web.stanford.edu/~chadj/, writes about endogenous growth theory.
  
• Pantelis Koutroumpis, The Productivity Paradox, a report.
• Some interesting videos are at the Kartik Gada channel such as at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuRX67CJhaOT98Jdjh85CEQ which we discussed previously.
• https://www.planet4589.org. Astronautics section. Something we haven't read yet, like one of the yearly reports. 
• Future Spaceflight Meditations, a cosmist perspective, by Jiulio Prisco, physicist formerly with the ESA. 
• Readings that have been rated: we previously scanned and voted on them and they might or might not be read in more depth at some point. Listed in decreasing order of vote score. 
• Https://www.planet4589.org. Examine the various data files ("catalogs") for several sessions/weeks of readings. Vote was 4. The start point is https://planet4589.org/space/index.html.
  
• One of McDowell's *yearly* (not the more frequent news) reports, in particular, the most recent one: https://planet4589.org/space/papers/space21.pdf. We read through the first paragraph of section 1.1. Vote to continue was 4.
• Already voted on: Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology. Let's find out more about it. We skimmed https://www.picmet.org/main/ and the question next is whether we want to read through the site in more detail. Do we search this site for another paper/papers to read? Vote was 3 11/12.
• Already voted on. We found that the paper at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like it might be a good paper for us to read. Vote was 3.9.
• Already voted on: One candidate: https://hrcak.srce.hr/file/394111 is a recent account of using DEA (which is part of TFDEA). We rechecked the abstract and read the first paragraph. Votes were: 3,5,2,5,4, averaging 3.8. 
• Goldin et al., The Productivity Paradox, https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs201/projects/productivity-paradox/. We read the "Home" tab and 2 paragraphs of the "Background" tab. Vote to continue reading was: 3.5.
  
• 5/20/22: We read the enlarged font paragraph at the beginning of "Women's Place in Space Exploration, 1996, ...\femaleAstronauts\relatedArticles\WomenPlaceInSpaceExplorationRef2.pdf. Vote was 3 1/3.
• Already voted on: The Institute for Progress. They address questions like what policies and social factors affect technological progress. We will try out a bit of https://progress.institute/immigration-powers-american-progress/ to see if we want to read it in full. Vote was 3 2/7.
• Voted on 4/15/22: One of McDowell's update reports, available on the website. Link is: https://planet4589.org/space/jsr/jsr.html. We checked #804. Vote was 3 1/12.

• Completed readings
• Https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/07/we-need-new-science-progress/594946 on "progress studies." Completed 9/30/22.
  
• Ryan et al., "A Forgotten Moment in Physiology: the Lovelace Woman in Space Program (1960-1962)", 2009. Completed 7/22/22.
• Various previous papers.
  
• Here are some generic questions about articles (and videos):
  
• What is the source?
• What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper?
• Why is that advance important?
• What important questions arise from the paper for future research?
• What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer?
• What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)?
• What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals?
• Questions from the group?
