Book Access To Space in the Southern Hemisphere

Download or read book Access To Space in the Southern Hemisphere written by ATF Press and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The space sector worldwide is experiencing a shift from traditional activities involving large heavy launch vehicles and satellites to a much faster paced NewSpace paradigm. NewSpace is primarily driven by private organizations and is characterised by smaller and lighter missions involving Smallsats. The space launch sector is primarily the domain of the Northern Hemisphere, however, this is beginning to change as Southern Hemisphere nations seek to pursue access to space in their own right. This report considers three scenarios through which Southern Hemisphere nations may pursue access to space. The third of these scenarios is then expanded upon to explore the benefits of an international collaborative framework to facilitate this access. Australia is used as a case study to identify considerations for enabling access within the framework.

Book Early Public Libraries and Colonial Citizenship in the British Southern Hemisphere

Download or read book Early Public Libraries and Colonial Citizenship in the British Southern Hemisphere written by Lara Atkin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access Pivot book is a comparative study of six early colonial public libraries in nineteenth-century Australia, South Africa, and Southeast Asia. Drawing on networked conceptualisations of empire, transnational frameworks, and ‘new imperial history’ paradigms that privilege imbricated colonial and metropolitan ‘intercultures’, it looks at the neglected role of public libraries in shaping a programme of Anglophone civic education, scientific knowledge creation, and modernisation in the British southern hemisphere. The book’s six chapters analyse institutional models and precedents, reading publics and types, book holdings and catalogues, and regional scientific networks in order to demonstrate the significance of these libraries for the construction of colonial identity, citizenship, and national self-government as well as charting their influence in shaping perceptions of social class, gender, and race. Using primary source material from the recently completed ‘Book Catalogues of the Colonial Southern Hemisphere’ digital archive, the book argues that public libraries played a formative role in colonial public discourse, contributing to broader debates on imperial citizenship and nation-statehood across different geographic, cultural, and linguistic borders.
