<<
Follow-ups to APRSAF-9 >>
To seek the possibility of joint research in Space Environmental
Utilization Field such as holding the cooperation workshop,
we are making the list of the researchers who has a possibility
to cooperate with. We've already asked some researchers in
Japan and Korea.

Result of APRSAF-9 >>
At APRSAF-9, the Space Environmental Utilization Working Group
(WG) consists of the participants (See below) under its own
concept (See below).
At the working group, the following presentations were made
and discussed based upon them:
| · |
“ Action items (APRSAF-8)
“Easy access to space” ” by Dr. Yoshinori
Fujimori (NASDA, Japan) |
| · |
“ Ionospheric observation
using Korean Satellites” by Professor Kyung W.
Min (KAIST, Korea) |
| · |
“ Current status
of ACCESS program” by Dr. Hae-Jin-Choi (KARI,
Korea) |
| · |
“ Current topics
and issues in space medicine” by Dr. Won-Keun
Lee (Asiana Airline, Korea) |
| · |
“ Application of
remotesensing and geographic information system on environment
monitoring” by Mr. Sitha Phouyavong (Sci. Tech.
& Environment Agency, Laos) |
| · |
“ Investigations
of fluid behavior in microgravity environment and its
induced electromagnetics/MHD effects, and Predicted
Example of Density Driven Flow in EOR process”
by Professor Utoro Sastrokusumo (Institute Tech. Bandung,
Indonesia) |
| · |
“ Ground Based Microgravity
Experiment” by Dr. Muneo Takaoki (NASDA Japan) |
| · |
Malaysian representative
expressed nation’s space utilization plan including
astronaut training. |
As the result of discussion at WG,
the recommendations were proposed as follows:
| a. |
The space environment
utilization working group’s mission is to establish
the framework for future collaborations. |
| b. |
Collaborations will include
utilizations of short-term microgravity such as parabolic
flight, drop shaft, sounding rockets. |
| c. |
Information exchange on
ISS utilization should be encouraged(1) NASDA will provide
information packages depicting space environment utilization
project, including microgravity science, technology
development, industrial research, general applications.(2)
WG members will provide their own activities, problems,
etc. |
| d. |
Personal exchange(1) Space
environment utilization research center of NASDA has
invited scientist program.(2) Japanese Science and Technology
Corporation (JST) personnel exchange program is helpful
to invite Asian scientists to NASDA.(3) Personnel exchange
program should be encouraged under APRSAF initiative. |
| e. |
Personnel directoryWG
participants list will be posted in NASDA website (TBD)
to facilitate information exchange. |

WG Report and its Participants List” as follows |
