 Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, we have been inspired by the heavens to explore and to dream. As our exploration and use of outerspace continues, however, what happens when different individuals or nations have different thoughts on how to use it? And how do we prevent and resolve conflicts, including damages and insurance claims, when they occur? Some sample questions: - Could I buy a vacation home on the moon?
- What happens if my pico-satellite hits a Chinese satellite?
- Is space piracy a growth industry?
Captain Justin Boileau and Mr. Greg Linton will try to answer such difficult questions and provide an overview of Space Law in today’s society. In the 1950′s, the pioneers of the space industry saw a need for Space Law to govern all national and international activities in outer space. As the first artificial satellites were designed and launched, scientists and engineers realized the potential for both significant benefits and dangers associated with outer space. Therefore, in 1959, the United Nations created the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) and assigned it the difficult task of discussing and negotiating international agreements relating to outer space activities. COPUOS drafted five international treaties that form the foundation for space law including activities in outer space and celestial bodies, safety of astronauts, and liability for damages caused by space objects. Date: Thursday, March 24, 2011 Time: 5-7pm Location: E2-320 Engineering Information and Technology Complex, University of Manitoba Cost: $2 for students, $5 for IEEE Members, and $10 for Non-Members. Includes light refreshments. Registration: Register online before March 2011 by clicking here. |

An Overview of the Rocket Propulsion Research at Technion-Israel Institute of TechnologySPEAKER: Victor Chernov, PhD
Leon Sachs Post-Doctoral Fellow,
Department of Mechanical and Industrial Eng.
University of Toronto The Fine Rocket Propulsion Center (FRPC) at the Technion IIT is the only rocket-oriented university facility in Israel. This seminar aims at presenting the Technion and the work done in the FRPC. A short introduction into rocket and jet propulsion will be followed by an overview on the research activities in at the FRPC, such as marine ramjet propulsion, hybrid rocket propulsion and gel fuel ramjet combustor. More emphasis will be given to the gel fuels research. Gel fuel is a non-Newtonian, shear-thinning fuel that is obtained by adding gelling agents to a standard hydrocarbon fuel. The ideal modus operandi of such fuels is "Store as solid, use as liquid". Such a behavior allows for a more safer and more energetic performance. The reason for former is minimizing of involuntary flows and spills and the reason for latter is the possibility of adding metal powders to the fuel. However, this mode of operation presents new challenges in combustion, atomization and rheology, all of which will be presented at the seminar.
BIO:
Dr Victor Chernov graduated from the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering in the Technion, August 2010. He is now a Leon Sachs Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto. During his PhD, he was awarded the Ilan Ramon scholarship for space related research by the Israeli Ministry of Education. DATE: November 25, 2010 (Thursday)
