SUMMARY:Spacecraft Rendezvous and Proximity Operations
DESCRIPTION:Online short course on Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO)\, critical for crew transfer\, in-space assembly and space debris removal\, among other uses. Instructor is Pradipto Ghosh; 12 classroom hours / 2.4 CEU-PDH; online via Zoom with replays available. Students will receive Certificates of Completion from both AIAA and Johns Hopkins University. \nTopics covered include RPO Concept of Operations (ConOps)\, relative orbit design\, maneuver calculation\, and elements of navigation. The objectives of this course are to develop the general principles governing spacecraft proximity operations\, rendezvous\, and docking. Students will be introduced to topics such as near and far range rendezvous\, natural motion circumnavigation\, safe relative motion\, phasing\, and rendezvous trajectory design. After completing this six-week course\, students will be able to conceptualize the operations of rendezvous and prox-ops missions such as the International Space Station (ISS) resupply\, crew transfer\, extra-vehicular activities\, and on-orbit assembly/refueling. A basic knowledge of Newtonian Mechanics and Ordinary Differential Equations is expected.

SUMMARY:IAU Symposium 405: Traversing the Galactic Center in Space and Time
DESCRIPTION:Galactic Center of the Milky Way is instrumental in mapping and understanding galaxies since it is the closest galactic nucleus to us. At Brno Observatory and Planetarium\, Kraví hora 522/2. \nDespite many detailed\, multiwavelength studies of the central regions of our Galaxy\, we still have many open questions concerning its history and future evolution. This symposium will bring together experts working on both observational and theoretical studies of the Galactic Center so that they can “traverse” this exciting region and look at details of its past processes and potential future. We will explore the remarkable progress made since the last major meeting of the community—the Galactic Center Workshop in Granada\, April 24–28\, 2023. We will examine exciting new results\, including those from JWST and GRAVITY/ERIS at the VLT\, as well as insights from ALMA and MeerKAT.

SUMMARY:Launch Vega-C / Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE)
DESCRIPTION:Set for 00:52 French Guiana Time UTC-3 | 17:52 HST May 18 to send astrophysics satellite to elliptical orbit. Joint mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to investigate the interaction between Earth’s protective shield – the magnetosphere – and the supersonic solar wind.

SUMMARY:Talk: Telescopes on the Moon\, the Future of Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Joe Silk to discuss the Moon as the next great frontier for astronomy. Terrestrial telescopes are facing a crisis as our night skies become increasingly crowded and bright. The solution? Looking upward—and staying there. \nJoin IAU Commission C2 (Communicating Astronomy with the Public) on 19 May 2026 for a fascinating talk by the world-renowned Prof. Joseph Silk (Johns Hopkins / Oxford / CNRS). We won’t just be talking about lunar missions; we’ll be exploring how the Moon’s surface offers a unique sanctuary for the future of science.From the radio-quiet “Far Side” probing the Dark Ages of the universe to optical interferometers searching for biological tracers on Earth-like exoplanets\, the Moon is about to become our most important laboratory.Key Highlights:The Dark Ages: Probing the universe 50 million years after the Big Bang.Gravitational Waves: Capturing the history of merging massive black holes.Are We Alone? Using ultrahigh resolution to image nearby exoplanets.

SUMMARY:Launch Solid-Fuel SLV (Space Launch Vehicle) / Test Flight
DESCRIPTION:South Korea’s solid‑fuel space launch vehicle\, commonly abbreviated GYŪB (Korean: Goche Yeonlyo Uju Balsache or 고체연료 우주발사체)\, is an orbital booster developed by the state-run Agency for Defense Development (ADD). It is based on solid propellant stages\, with a liquid-fuel post‑boost stage (PBS)\, designed to deploy small satellites—particularly synthetic aperture radar (SAR) reconnaissance payloads—into low Earth orbit as part of the country’s independent space-based surveillance capability.
