Undeniably, This is a dark time for the international cooperation of the space industry as the stability and integrity of world peace are now in question. However, in a desperate moment just like this, a flare of unfortunate wake up call now roam close to space agencies around the world, a call to pursue their own independent capabilities in order to achieve the objective and one day may take these skills out into the global stage and push the specie forward as a whole. One example is European Space Agency - ESA's continuous chase toward a manned space flight ability and as ESA Director-General: Mr. Josef Aschbacher just announced in his speech - that ESA wants to be able to launch its own astronauts, an ambition that has been sought for decades and if successful, will grant this planet another access to our final horizon. This inspired me to pick up a concept of spacecraft named Hermes, a canceled ESA "mini-shuttle" development program that actually gives me my interest in this mini lifting body type of spacecraft (apart from its big "Space Shuttle" and "Buran" brothers, of course). Shown below is my amateur artist's impression of the fictional "Hermes II" spacecraft named "Unity" which represented an alternate future in which Hermes really become ESA's equivalent of Soyuz or the STS. The shuttle is operating in full-stack configuration (including the cone-shaped "Resource Module") and preparing itself to dock with the ATV-X (Automated Transfer Vehicle - Specialized Block) that acts as an in-orbit depot station. The "Unity" will dock with ATV-X through its dorsal hatch for resupply just before maneuvering into the higher orbit for the satellite service mission. Last but not least, The situation of space exploration is now critically significant more than ever so stay decisive, ESA - and continue humanity's mission in exploring the infinite frontier. In the end, we're all living on the same pale blue dot... #hermesspacecraft #space #future #digitalart #esa #hermes #peace

2024-04-17 (1/3) Chanud Sithipreedanant's first visit to the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) headquarters in the heart of London to provide continuous coverage for the International Conference on Energy from Space 2024, organized by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero European Space Agency - ESA (ESA SOLARIS) UK Space Agency and partners. The conference's futuristic topic focuses on how we can realize the potential of Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) to provide near-unlimited energy to Earth, Lunar, and beyond. This seemingly Sci-Fi concept has since been revived back onto the stage since the beginning of the new era in space exploration. It's with great honour to meet with the president of the society, Kerissa Khan MRAeS (Pictured) as well as prominent speakers and personnel within the field whose passion and enthusiasm convey their strong initiative to pursue SBSP as another option to tackle our exponentially increasing demand for clean energy. Not only that, the topic also shines more light on the development of in-orbit megastructures and space engineering. Special visual lecture notes were completed for this event with direct discussion and support from the speaker (Graphic Facilitation Process). More dedicated materials are to be released. PS. Truly one of the most captivating advanced technical events I have attended in the UK so far, I appreciate the kindness of everyone that I met during the event (The Energy is really high!). #EnergyfromSpace #ESASolaris #RAeSHQ

✈ Congratulations to my team and strategic partners back in Thailand who work tirelessly to cover the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration ASIA-AQ mission as the agency sent in the rare DC-8 and accompanying G-III airborne laboratory to conduct research about atmospheric science in the country at the end of March 2024. We are monitoring and processing all of the exclusive in-flight footage and information for additional release and will make sure that these unique materials are being effectively utilized for the benefit of the public as the country is now facing an even more damaging air pollution issue. #NASA #ASIAAQ #NARIT #GISTDA
Although the ASIA-AQ flying mission has completed, the team Thailand remains to analyze the gathered data to address the air pollution challenges in Thailand. On March 26, 2024, GISTDA organized a seminar entitled “Perspectives on studying air quality and air pollution management in Thailand under the ASIA-AQ project” at the Asawin Grand Convention Hotel in Bangkok. This event not only signifies the conclusion of the flying mission but also serves as a platform to announce what NASA and the team Thailand preliminary found from the survey as well as to outline the subsequent actions to be taken by Team Thailand. During the seminar, James Crawford, NASA's Senior Scientist for Atmospheric Chemistry, delivered a preliminary report highlighting that the majority of the observed smoke originates from open burning activities in the northern part of Thailand. The data obtained from these surveys will be used to build models for forecasting and predicting further reductions in air pollution. In addition to this report, representatives from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, GISTDA, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Silpakorn University, NARIT, and The Standard (Media) deliberated on the benefits to Thailand resulting from its involvement in the ASIA-AQ project. The team Thailand, led by GISTDA, will continue to work with stakeholders to utilize and apply the analyzed data to conduct scientific papers, develop more accurate and effective applications on air quality and pollution as well as propel the Clean Air Act in Thailand. The first official report will be made public after 1 year. #NASA #GISTDA #ASIAAQ #AirQuality
