“…To help satisfy the growing demand for simulants in the space industry, we have developed a general-purpose lunar regolith simulant called LCATS-1, named for the Lunar Caves Analog Test Sites program and introduced in Hooper et al (2020). LCATS is a Space-STEM program, described in Hooper et al (2017), Ximenes (2019), and Ximenes et al (2019, that uses robotic technologies and terrestrial analogs in a lunar mission context. Other components of LCATS include the lunar dust environment and ISRU technologies for regolith simulant research and manufacturing for habitat design and planetary construction.…”

Lava tubes are potentially important sites for the long-term human presence on the Moon because they provide shelter from surface hazards, including micrometeorites, radiation, extreme temperatures, and dust. The discovery of a lava tube opening or pit at Marius Hills in Oceanus Procellarum is compelling motivation for robotic and eventually human exploration missions to these sites for in situ investigations and site assessments to determine viability for habitation and utilization of lunar resources. We make the case for Marius Hills to be a high-priority landing site and present elements of lunar data analysis, instrument/payload concepts, science justification for robotic missions, and thematic geologic reconnaissance and remote sensing that should be conducted prior to any construction or emplacement of infrastructure. This is described as a “green reconnaissance” approach to lunar exploration and exploitation, which seeks to address such contamination factors as sprayed rocket exhaust and sublimating water in order to preserve science fidelity. We are developing a concept of operations called the Leto mission for a green reconnaissance approach to robotically access the Marius Hills sublunarean void.

“…Second, the industrial agglomeration NBRI 14,2 theory; industrial agglomeration refers to the related enterprises in a certain area, complementary advantages and close connection between each other. A group of industrial group phenomena manifested in geographical communication and cooperation were formed (Ximenes et al, 2019), and the industrial ecosphere is also an advanced development form of industrial agglomeration. Third, the theory of symbiosis; industrial symbiosis is a symbiotic unit composed of different industries.…”

Purpose As the saying goes, “food is heaven of people” the development of agriculture is not only related to the quality of human life but also profoundly affects the efficiency of economic operation. However, under the background of rapid economic and technological development, China’s agricultural modernization process is very slow and incompatible with the development trend of economic modernization. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to innovate the traditional agricultural development model to break through the bottlenecks encountered in the transformation process of agricultural modernization. The proposal of the agricultural logistics ecosphere is to solve the problems of poor industrial linkage, low technical level and backward operation mode in the development process of traditional agriculture, and it is an important starting point for agricultural supply-side structural reform. This study aims to answer three questions in three aspects, namely, what is the agricultural logistics ecosphere, analyzes the general composition of the agricultural logistics ecosphere and how the subjects of the agricultural logistics ecosphere cooperate. It also puts forward suggestions for the coordinated development of the agricultural logistics ecosphere under the leadership of Taoxin. Also, it inspires the transformation of the agricultural development model in other regions and countries. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts a case study and a qualitative analysis method to collate the first-hand and secondary data obtained from the interview and form a tertiary coding. It explores the mechanism of coordinated development of the agricultural logistics ecosphere from four levels: goal synergy, resource synergy, ability synergy and benefit synergy. Findings First, the formation of the agricultural logistics ecosphere will not be achieved overnight, as operational management matures and ecosphere experiences the germination-development-mature evolution process. Second, target synergy is the foundation and premise for the formation of agricultural logistics ecosphere: to attract external resources with Taoxin characteristic core resources, to attract external resources to achieve synergy, to provide a guarantee for the realization of the maximum value of the agricultural logistics ecosphere and then to realize the interest synergy of internal and external subjects. Third, driving agricultural products upward in the “10 + 1” model: it is the core resource of the agricultural logistics ecosphere led by Taoxin and attracts external subjects to gather with core resources to further improve the value of the ecosphere. The improvement of the value of the ecosphere can broaden the ecosphere network. This is both an important construction of the ecosphere, and it is also the path choice of the coordinated development of the agricultural logistics ecosphere. Originality/value This study has a very important practical value and theoretical significance. In practical terms, the integration of “primary, secondary and tertiary industries” is helpful to foster new momentum for the development of agriculture and rural areas and promote the general framework of the agricultural logistics economy, the analysis of the general mechanism and extension of the transition of the new economy.

“…Consequently, the development of an aerospace culture associated with the development of capacities, in particular the design and development of networked satellite systems, such as constellations with low-cost satellites (Yoon et al, 2014), will significantly contribute to the sustainable use of resources and the protection of Colombian society (Corredor-Gutiérrez, 2017;Ximenes et al, 2019).…”

El desarrollo de las zonas rurales de Colombia y su conexión con las áreas urbanas ha sido uno de los grandes desafíos para garantizar una presencia efectiva del Estado en el territorio. Como parte de las alternativas para potenciar el desarrollo integral de la infraestructura y las comunidades rurales, se han propuesto opciones para la prestación de servicios aeroes- paciales que ofrecen medios de comunicación permanentes y herramientas para la observación terrestre, asistencia ante los efectos de fenómenos climáticos, cuantificación demográfica, control de áreas y poblaciones, y la determinación de rutas y vías de acceso, entre otras. A partir de ello, se propone una metodología para el análisis, diseño, desarrollo, implementación y evaluación de un proyecto espacial, que incluye el cálculo de condiciones operacionales y elementos orbitales, parámetros de desempeño, áreas de cobertura, número de aviones y satélites, y varios modelos de constelaciones de satélites dentro del territorio nacional. Esta propuesta busca identificar diferentes alternativas para el diseño y uso de equipos satelitales, con el fin de formular planes estratégicos a nivel estatal que permitan la apropiación de las tecnologías aeroespaciales, ofreciendo servicios equiparables al nivel de acceso a las comunicaciones y la observación terrestre, como medio para la planificación de políticas públicas orientadas a mejorar la conectividad y las capacidades tecnológicas de Colombia.
