	The Space Settlement Initiative
		Space claims based on anything less than settlement would be virtually impossible to justify to the courts and the world.
		Although classic land grants cannot be used in space because sovereignty is prohibited, the objective of land claims recognition in space is the same as the objective of land grants on Earth: the use of property rights as an incentive to get private individuals to do something of great value to the whole society.
		Only when safe, reliable transport has actually been developed, and launch costs have been brought low enough that even the accountants think a settlement could make a sufficient profit by selling land, will it be time for anyone to try to raise the big money to actually establish a settlement.

	Transport and Space
		Helmholtz research in 'Transport and Space' is at home in a single institution: the German Aerospace Centre (DLR).
		'Transport and Space' was one of the first two Helmholtz research fields to be evaluated by internationally-distinguished experts in 2002.
		The major consequence of the evaluation is that the transport programme will be expanded, because it is seen as a particularly important political-strategic field.

	Space science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Space science, or the space sciences, are fields of science that are concerned with the study or utilization of outer space.
		There are several major fields of space science:
		In addition, space sciences impact or are related to many other fields, from the biology of organisms in space environments to the geology of other bodies and planets (astrogeology), as well as nuclear physics in interstellar space and inside stars.

	CCC-0320: DOT-4.2, 2-D Neutron Transport, Gamma Transport with Space Dependent Mesh and Quadrature
		In the discrete ordinates method, the primary mode of operation, balance equations are solved for the flow of particles moving in a set of discrete directions in each cell of a space mesh, and in each group of a multigroup energy mesh.
		Special techniques are available to remove the effects of negative fluxes caused by the finite space and direction meshes, and of negative scattering due to truncation of the cross-section expansion.
		The space mesh can be described such that the number of first-dimension (I) intervals varies with the second dimension (J).

	Exclusive: Rules Set for $50 Million 'America’s Space Prize'
		A key ambition of the Bigelow Aerospace cash reward is to break the monopoly on crew transport to space currently held by Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft.
		In the event that a full-scale orbiting module is not yet in space, a terrestrial facility could be used to demonstrate a spacecraft’s ability to dock to a Bigelow Aerospace orbiting structure, he said.
		Given the re-election of U.S. President George W. Bush, his space vision for exploration of the Moon, Mars and beyond, Bigelow said, means that NASA is abandoning low Earth orbit.

	[37.10] Acceleration of phase space transport in complex Hamiltonian systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		An investigation of the effects of low amplitute noise and periodic driving on phase space transport in three-dimensional Hamiltonian systems will be presented.
		Discreteness effects were idealised as white noise, internal oscillations and the effects of companion objects were idealised as low amplitude periodic driving and the effect of the surrounding environment as coloured noise.
		The experimental results suggest strongly that, like periodic driving, noise-induced phase space acceleration is a resonance phenomenon, which involves coupling between the frequencies at which the noise has substantial power and the natural frequencies of the unperturbed orbit.

	ESA - Kids - Life in Space - New transport
		Although they use much less fuel, they are able to produce a higher exhaust velocity - the speed at which gas from the engine shoots into space.
		Using electricity made by sunlight falling on 'wings' made of solar cells, they can slowly increase a spacecraft's speed until it is travelling many times faster than a chemical rocket.
		Using such engines it may eventually be possible to fly to Mars in just a few days.

		It was written specifically to follow high current beam particles where space charge is important in long distance flight in axially symmetric machines possessing external electric and magnetic fields.
		Space charge is calculated either by application of Gauss' Law or by the potential found from solution of Poisson's equation with a known charge distribution.
		The inter-ray spacing is used to map the appropriate charge density field onto a lattice, which is used on the next cycle to find the space charge field in addition to the electrode field by solution of Poisson's equation.

		The scale of difficulty to reach orbit is so much greater than it is to reach suborbital space, a suborbital vehicle can contribute very little to the development of hardware for orbital launchers.
