  British Interplanetary Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BIS was preceded by the American Interplanetary Society (founded 1930), the German VfR, and Soviet rocket research groups, but unlike these it never became absorbed into a national industry.
In 1978, the Society published a starship study called Project Daedalus, which was a detailed feasibility study for a simple unmanned interstellar mission to Barnard's Star using present-day technology and a reasonable extrapolation of near-future capabilities.
The science writer Arthur C. Clarke is a well-known former Chairman of the British Interplanetary Society.

 Extraterrestrial Intelligence in the Solar System: Resolving the Fermi Paradox - UFO Evidence
Journal of the British Interplanetary Society 36(November, 1983):496-500.
In these cases each society would remain isolated from the others and never forge a pangalactic union, or might choose not to spread their clones throughout the Galaxy.
A typical alien probe might be 1-10 metres in size - this is large enough to house a microwave antenna to report back to the senders, and to survive micrometeorite impacts for millions of years, but light enough to fly across the interstellar gulf without consuming unreasonable amounts of energy [29].

 Interstellar Communication
Thus, acceptance of the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence was a characteristic not only of the dominant classes in society, but also of the younger generation who will guide the course of civilisation in the near future.
Society has a chance for a completely fresh start in space; new social forms and exciting new styles of life can be created on other worlds.
Social Work is concerned with solving problems of our own Society, and it may see investment in extraterrestrial projects as a diversion of resources and concern away from the home where they would wish them to be invested.

All this should be known to any society capable of developing the radio telescope.

 Stride, Scot L.
During his spare time, he has researched the use of existing COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) sensor, instrument, and computer technologies to design SETV experiments to attempt detection of robotic extraterrestrial probes that may have reached Earth.
His article in the January 2001 issue of the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society presented the rationale for the search strategy: it describes an autonomous robotic observatory platform for measuring anomalous observational phenomena.
Together with Bruce Cornet he presented a paper on Solar System at SETICon03, the the third annual technical symposium of the SETI League, in 2003.

 Report on the NASA/ASEE
The study was supported by NASA because of increasing realisation that advanced automatic and robotic services will play a major role in future missions of space exploration and utilisation, and may provide enormously beneficial capabilities at affordable cost.
The 10-week, 10,000-man-hour study, hosted by the University of Santa Clara and jointly sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education and the NASA/Ames Research Center, was given the task of selecting and defining a number of representative space missions which would require extensive application of machine intelligence and automation.
The team consequently defined their overall study concept as an autonomous interstellar space exploration system incorporating advanced machine intelligence technology in order to telescope the customary three stages of investigation currently used by NASA reconnaissance, exploration, and intensive study - into a single integrated scientific phase of discovery.

 INTERSTELLAR PROBES: A NEW APPROACH TO SETI
The maximum technical achievement to which any society may aspire ultimately is fixed by the artificial energy sources which that society controls.
The launching of such a warship would represent, to a Type-II society, a relative energy expenditure equivalent to that of the launching of four Saturn V rockets by human engineers.
To a Type III society, launching the warship is energetically equivalent to a human being flying a powered model aeroplane for 1 minute.

 SETV- References to Pertinent Works
Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Vol.33, pp.251-264, 1980
Since the object of those who operate the source is to find a newly evolved society, we may presume that the channel used will be one that places a minimum burden of frequency and angular discrimination on the detector.
For a culture already supported by mature interplanetary industry, the cost of building planetary or high-power space laser systems for interstellar communication would be marginal, making such projects relevant for the next human century.

A biocompatible planet is one where the long term presence of surface liquid water provides environmental conditions suitable for for the origin and evolution of life.

he British Interplanetary Society motto is "From Imagination to Reality" and, in manned Mars flight we will see both the true magnitude of that challenge and the effort that is needed to achieve it.
This collection of papers from the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society is a contribution to that effort.
he second volume in this compilation of articles published at the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, devoted to the studies on the exploration of planet Mars, is centered on everything having to do with the advanced stages of our presence on the planet (construction of permanent stations, colonisation and even terraforming).

However, it is argued that only a world government will be able to organise a space programme on the necessary scale, and a symbiotic relationship between space development and world government is postulated.
To readers of this Journal, the phrase "even if the largest ideals have been substantively realised here on Earth" (my italics) is likely to appear especially significant, although Fukuyama himself appears oblivious to its implications.
Fukuyama appears to believe that all progress in political philosophy ended with Hegel, apparently on the grounds that if history 'ends', the philosopher who predicted this must have reached the pinnacle of his subject (ref. 3, pp.311-12; inc. note 21).
