In 1957 we were sticking our heads above the atmosphere. In 2007 we will stick our thumb into the LSIM International Heliophysical Year & United Nations Basic Space Sciences An international program of scientific research to understand external drivers of the space environment and climate Evolution of System Studies Size Scale Studied IGY 1957 grew out Lloyd V. Berkner’s suggestion in 1950 that in the period 1957-1958 there should be a Third International Polar Year. In the course of soliciting participation, the enterprise was enlarged to encompass the scientific study of the whole earth, a subject more broadly appealing than polar investigations. IGY IPY-2 IPY-1 IHY 1883 1933 1957 TIME 2007 During the period between the orbiting of Sputnik-I and the creation of NASA, these activities-scientific research in the high atmosphere and outer space-began to be thought of as space science. … Homer E. Newell, “Beyond the Atmosphere: Early Years of Space Science” 2 Grass-roots Planning Process SCIENCE PLANNING AND COODINATION IHY RESOURCES International Executive Committee Campaign Coordination International Advisory Committee Africa Data System Asia-Pacific Europe E. Europe & Cental Asia Balkan Distributed Instruments Program EPO Press Latin America North America Western Asia Publications National Committees Web 3 Elements of IHY Plan • • Observing (or modeling) campaigns: Make use of as many existing facilities/expertise as possible. Identify past data bases Distributed small instrument arrays – Magnetometers, radio telescopes, GPS receivers, all-sky cameras, Neutron Monitors, etc. – Lead investigator provides instruments – United Nations Basic Space Sciences Initiative (UNBSS) members may choose to provide instruments, local facilities, or data acquisition • • • Series of cross-cutting Coordinated Data Analysis Workshops to develop interpretations Publication of workshop results Outreach and History Initiatives – Preservation of IGY history – IGY Gold Club to recognize the contribution of IGY participants 4 UNBSS • United Nations has adopted IHY as their program for 2005-2009 • UN supports 5 workshops 2005 (UAE), 2006-2009 (TBD) • These workshops are for match-making to deploy IHY instruments • PI from developed nation provides instrument • UN contacts potential host country/university/scientist and bring the potential host scientists to the workshops 5 UN & IHY UN Office for Outer Space Affairs Contact: Hans Haubold UN TRIPOD PI from developed Nation E.g.
