US and EU tech strategy aren’t as aligned as you think – Brookings Institution

Posted: May 11, 2021 at 10:51 pm

During her speech before the World Economic Forums virtual meeting in Davos in January, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen invited the United States to join Europe in writing a new set of rules for the internet: Together, we could create a digital economy rulebook that is valid worldwide. It goes from data protection and privacy to the security of critical infrastructure. A body of rules based on our values: human rights and pluralism, inclusion, and protection of privacy.

This invitation to collaboration comes at a time of remarkable diversity in how states are approaching internet governance. Beijing is advancing new internet standards to replace the global, open, interoperable ones. Moscow is continuing to clamp down on the web through a combination of online and offline coercive measures. India is advancing a data-protection framework with large carve-outs for state data collection against the backdrop of the Modi governments repressive internet shutdowns. A Brazilian official who authored the countrys data localization proposal recently called data flows abroad a violation of the countrys sovereignty. In Europe, the previous watchword of digital sovereignty may be giving way to talk of strategic sovereignty in the digital sphere, but the underlying premise remains the same: creating an internet environment where European values proliferate. In the United States, the Biden administration is grappling with how to reinvigorate U.S. global engagement on technology while simultaneously managing new regulatory proposals for American tech giants.

This fractured policy landscape has prompted hope that Europe and a United States led by President Joe Biden might collaborate to facilitate a more consistent and predictable approach in internet governance, one that seeks to uphold the fundamental values of the internet. But the United States and the European Union are not as aligned on this question as some might claim. American internet governance has been described as everything from a privatized model to a hands-off-the-internet approach. In the EU, however, varying understandings of sovereignty online both reflect and shape the different political contexts in which member states are designing their internet governance models, which have historically been far more willing to embrace regulation than in the United States.

This divide matters for EU-U.S. technology cooperation, as recent shifts in the EU toward digital self-determination heighten the potential divergence between the Washington and Brussels in internet policymaking. How the visions of the internet in the United States and the EU bloc play out in the coming years, particularly under the Biden administration, will matter greatly for shaping the future of the internet, its freedom, and openness.

Europes internet shift

Between 2016 and 2020, the Trump administration stepped back from the United States historic leadership role on questions of internet governance. Domestically, the administration failed to devise a national plan that would address issues of competition, connectivity, and new technologies, including 5G. While the Trump administration took some action, it was sporadic and mainly driven by larger national and international political forces rather than any serious high-level commitment to ideas like internet openness or security. Internationally, the Trump administration not only abandoned but worked against years of effort by dedicated cyber diplomats to promote and protect the idea of an open, globally connected and interoperable Internet. This abdication of leadership left a significant gap that was felt across the global internet governance ecosystem. It enabled China to introduce a New IP proposal at the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to make internet traffic more easily state-controlled and gave Russia the opportunity to spearhead a United Nations General Assembly resolution on cybercrime that called for countering the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes. It was adopted by 79 votes to 60 with 33 abstentions, despite opposition from several major Western powers.

In Europe, this leadership vacuum was filled by legislative proposals for internet governance driven by two different fears. The first was a philosophical one regarding Europes ability to exert more political control over information and the internet. The other was a pragmatic desire to avoid being stuck in the middle of a toxic rivalry between the United States and China. Both fears were articulated as part of what von der Leyen last year called tech sovereignty: the capability that Europe must have to make its own choices, based on its values, respecting its own rules.

But Europes people-centric idea of sovereignty, albeit relevant to a world recognized by territorial borders, is difficult to reconcile with an internet that has little respect for these physical boundaries. The EUs signature internet regulation, the General Data Protection Regulation, has centered its rules around citizens and users, the political community formed by Europes people, and granted the European Union a measure of internet sovereignty via regulation. This last point is especially important: The European Union may have a seat at the table in international fora, but its individual member states are ultimately the sovereigns, not Europe as a whole.

Europes move toward digital sovereignty and self-determination

The geopolitical shifts of the past four years have caused many in Europe to value strategic self-determination and limiting dependence on foreign powers. In a March letter to von der Leyen, four European leaders, including Germanys Angela Merkel, articulated this desire: We believe that Europe needs to recharge and complement its current digitisation efforts with a self-determined and open digital policy which includes digital sovereignty as leitmotif. The statement is notable for several reasons: It abandons the phrase cyber sovereignty and its evocations of Chinese and Russian internet control; positions Europe as the exporter and not consumer of policy; and expresses a willingness for a European leadership role regarding internet governance questions.

Europe might be the first to set the rules of the online game, but this alone cannot win the game. Because the internet is founded on and continues to create interdependencies between nations, eliminating dependence on other countries is not just challenging but to some extent contradictory. For instance, European Union privacy rules and limits on cross-border data flows have necessitated the establishment of adequacy decisions and other agreements to enable data to continue flowing across borders. Interconnections and interdependencies between countries have become pervasive and will relatively remain so in a globally interoperable system.

Given this limitation, Europe has focused on regulation and, over the past few years, has managed to establish itself as the de facto global regulator for the internet on a number of issues. When it came into force in 2018, the GDPR represented the worlds most ambitious privacy regulation. Its impact was felt globally, so much so that some 80 countries around the world have implemented GDPR-like statutes. The recently released Digital Services Act package, which addresses rules and responsibilities for online platforms and rules on competition policy, continues the trend of European rule-making leading the way internationally. Meanwhile in Brussels, the digital policy agenda is crowded with issues that range from online terrorism to cybersecurity, data governance, and encryption. All this policy activity has placed Europe at the heart of internet governance discussions, but not necessarily in a way that fully satisfies either Europe or its allies.

Regulation alone is not enough. Many European observers have adopted the view that in order to be competitive in the tech sector, Europe needs to invest in infrastructure. In the past year alone, Europe has embarked on a series of activities that hint at its wish to become an infrastructure pioneer, while also building the legal framework to support it. GAIA-X, the federated Franco-German cloud initiative is an example; proposals for a European DNSno matter how poorly thought out they areare another. In and of itself, building infrastructure is not bad: It could contribute to increased innovation. But many key questions remain, especially the feasibility of such grand ideas in practice.

Europes main challenge is that it continues to be technologically dependent on both the United States and China, placing it in the middle of a technology conflict that will most likely continue and may escalate. Europe faces two different dependency hurdles. The first is its dependence on China. The EUs economic links with Chinas tech sector are pervasive, and Chinese software and hardware are used throughout the EU internet ecosystem. Europe knows that Chinas cheap equipment and financial promises come with attachments and tradeoffs that Europe is struggling to make in a coordinated fashion. For example, Europes indecisiveness and lack of a harmonized strategy among its member states with regards to the deployment of 5G equipment from Huawei, is a case in point. Germany and other countries seem keen to continue some sort of collaboration with China, albeit within limitations, whereas countries like Italy have prevented national operators from making deals with Huawei.

The second dependency hurdle is with the United States. European policymakers understand it is impossible to cut ties with Americas digital companies altogether. Instead, they are focused on how these companies should behave within its borders. By taking advantage of its economic standing, Europe drafts regulation that aims to shape the business models of big technology companies. The impact of this can be quite profound if one considers the opportunities it creates for Europe as a global regulator. However, this also raises a number of questions for cooperation with the United States. When member states are focused on regulation in ways that are still notably different from counterparts in the United States, it begs the question of just what kinds and degrees of internet strategy cooperation are most realistic for the U.S.-EU relationship.

This approach seems to be paying off, but not without hiccups. Europes experimentation with regulation allows it to set the agenda on complex internet governance questions. Despite its unintended consequences, the GDPR continues to be the most influential privacy regulation in the world. In contrast to the chaotic debate in the United States over Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the DSA at least provides some clarity on how regulators envision the roles and responsibilities of online platforms. With both the DSA and the GDPR, European policymakers have resisted regulation that aims to make sweeping changes to the internets core properties. But this is not a guarantee for the future. As Europe becomes more inward looking, it may push further in its approach to asserting a measure of online sovereignty.

Similar to other countries around the world, Europe is facing some hard facts. The internet is becoming lessless global, less interoperable, less open. The internet remains unable to resist the centralization of economic power to a few big players and has become increasingly weaponized through such activities as disinformation campaigns. This type of behavior will most certainly intensify and, as it does, Europe will need to make some crucial choices. What kind of an Internet does it want?

Sooner or later, the United States will face inevitably the same dilemma. This is a point where both allies will converge: recognizing that historically hands-off approaches to the internet no longer suffice in an age of harmful company behavior, internet insecurity, and authoritarian affronts on the open internet. But, ultimately, the biggest obstacle for collaboration will be their divergent views on how regulation should shape the internet: the United States will most likely continue to insist on a market-based approach, perhaps with some minimal interventions, while Europe will persist in a more institutional-oriented process. This schism will be difficult to bridge because it is part of the countries historical and cultural background.

Yet, it can also act as an opportunity. Realizing this difference should encourage both actors to turn their attention to the internet itself. Their common, shared goal can be to rally behind the values that have defined the internet since its early days: its architectural design. The critical properties of the internet can become the starting point and the shared understanding in moving forward, regardless of which approach each decides to follow. This would place both allies in stark contrast to countries like China and Russia.

Much policy discussion has focused on strong cooperation prospects between the European Union and the United States on internet strategy. While an objective worth pursuing, it does not mean the shifts towards digital self-determination in the EU can be ignored. Focusing on these trends, rather than treating all internet democracies as the same, is critical to forging multilateral cooperation on protecting an open, global, and interoperable internet.

Deep Space Exploration and Technology market to showcase strong CAGR between 202 - Fractovia News

Posted in Space Exploration | Comments Off on Deep Space Exploration and Technology market to showcase strong CAGR between 202 – Fractovia News

Editorial: Support local news, and level the playing field with tech giants – Charleston Post Courier

Posted: at 10:51 pm

Those who have followed The Post and Couriers ongoing Uncovered series realize that its about more than stories of state and local officials abusing the public trust; its also about how residents, voters and others struggle mightily these days to learn about this abuse and hold their officials accountable, partly because of the erosion of local newspapers.

Our media landscape has changed dramatically because of technological forces bigger than anyone in the state; the internet, including Big Tech companies such as Google and Facebook, disseminate local news, but not in a way that adequately benefits the companies that did the hard and expensive work to break the news in the first place. As a result, there may be more content than ever online, but increasingly less of it is reliable local news. Its been a downward spiral for years and remains so.

At least 26 weekly South Carolina papers have shut down since 2007, and while 17 new weeklies have started up since then, many of them serve larger metro areas that already have news outlets. Across the country, about 300 news operations have closed in the past two years.

Congress has an important opportunity to help one that not only would advance high-quality local journalism across the country but also would improve local communities because of the additional transparency and accountability such journalism provides. Thats why we urge Sens. Tim Scott and Lindsey Graham, Reps. Nancy Mace and Jim Clyburn, and all other members of South Carolinas congressional delegation to lend their support to the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, also known as the Safe Harbor Bill.

In 2018, Google and Facebook had nearly four times as much revenue as all of our nations TV stations, newspapers and digital outlets combined. Those two companies currently get about 80% of digital advertising spending and 45% of all ad spending; its one reason some newspapers, including this one, have begun fundraising drives to subsidize their investigative reporting and routine journalism.

But while Google and Facebook must pay to license music and other types of content, they have refused to fairly compensate companies that produce local journalism. The bill before Congress would let publishers that provide the information that sustains communities organize to bargain better with Big Tech. (Pre-internet antitrust laws currently protect Big Tech from local news publishers trying to take any such collective action.)

As anyone who has read the Uncovered series and so many other important, relevant news stories in these pages likely realizes, this battle is not about benefiting our company as much as it is about benefiting the entire community all of us.

Good, honest, open government is something we all value and seek, but its only possible when there are independent watchdogs, including those (and perhaps especially those) in the media, to investigate problems and shine a spotlight when things go wrong.

Earlier this year, Facebook removed news from its feed in Australia as a strong-arm tactic against proposed legislation that would require it to pay publishers for their content; the void was quickly filled with misinformation and false news before Facebook changed course after a few days.

That bill passed there; its time for our congressional delegation to take action here.

Facebook ordered not to apply controversial WhatsApp T&Cs in Germany – TechCrunch

Posted: at 10:51 pm

The Hamburg data protection agency has banned Facebook from processing the additional WhatsApp user data that the tech giant is granting itself access to under a mandatory update to WhatsApps terms of service.

The controversial WhatsApp privacy policy update has caused widespread confusion around the world since being announced and already been delayed by Facebook for several months after a major user backlash saw rivals messaging apps benefitting from an influx of angry users.

The Indian government has also sought to block the changes to WhatApps T&Cs in court and the countrys antitrust authority is investigating.

Globally, WhatsApp users have until May 15 to accept the new terms (after which the requirement to accept the T&Cs update will become persistent, per a WhatsApp FAQ).

The majority of users who have had the terms pushed on them have already accepted them, according to Facebook, although it hasnt disclosed what proportion of users that is.

But the intervention by Hamburgs DPA could further delay Facebooks rollout of the T&Cs at least in Germany as the agency has used an urgency procedure, allowed for under the European Unions General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to order the tech giant not to share the data for three months.

A WhatsApp spokesperson disputed the legal validity of Hamburgs order calling it a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose and effect of WhatsApps update and arguing that it therefore has no legitimate basis.

Our recent update explains the options people have to message a business on WhatsApp and provides further transparency about how we collect and use data. As the Hamburg DPAs claims are wrong, the order will not impact the continued roll-out of the update. We remain fully committed to delivering secure and private communications for everyone, the spokesperson added, suggesting that Facebook-owned WhatsApp may be intending to ignore the order.

We understand that Facebook is considering its options to appeal Hamburgs procedure.

The emergency powers Hamburg is using cant extend beyond three months but the agency is also applying pressure to the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) to step in and make what it calls a binding decision for the 27 Member State bloc.

Weve reached out to the EDPB to ask what action, if any, it could take in response to the Hamburg DPAs call.

The body is not usually involved in making binding GDPR decisions related to specific complaints unless EU DPAs cannot agree over a draft GDPR decision brought to them for review by a lead supervisory authority under the one-stop-shop mechanism for handling cross-border cases.

In such a scenario the EDPB can cast a deciding vote but its not clear that an urgency procedure would qualify.

In taking the emergency action, the German DPA is not only attacking Facebook for continuing to thumb its nose at EU data protection rules, but throwing shade at its lead data supervisor in the region, Irelands Data Protection Commission (DPC) accusing the latter of failing to investigate the very widespread concerns attached to the incoming WhatsApp T&Cs.

(Our request to the lead supervisory authority for an investigation into the actual practice of data sharing was not honoured so far, is the polite framing of this shade in Hamburgs press release).

Weve reached out to the DPC for a response and will update this report if we get one.

Irelands data watchdog is no stranger to criticism that it indulges in creative regulatory inaction when it comes to enforcing the GDPR with critics charging commissioner Helen Dixon and her team of failing to investigate scores of complaints and, in the instances when it has opened probes, taking years to investigate and opting for weak enforcements at the last.

The only GDPR decision the DPC has issued to date against a tech giant (against Twitter, in relation to a data breach) was disputed by other EU DPAs which wanted a far tougher penalty than the $550k fine eventually handed down by Ireland.

GDPR investigations into Facebook and WhatsApp remain on the DPCs desk. Although a draft decision in one WhatsApp data-sharing transparency case was sent to other EU DPAs in January for review but a resolution has still yet to see the light of day almost three years after the regulation begun being applied.

In short, frustrations about the lack of GDPR enforcement against the biggest tech giants are riding high among other EU DPAs some of whom are now resorting to creative regulatory actions to try to sidestep the bottleneck created by the one-stop-shop (OSS) mechanism which funnels so many complaints through Ireland.

The Italian DPA also issued a warning over the WhatsApp T&Cs change, back in January saying it had contacted the EDPB to raise concerns about a lack of clear information over whats changing.

At that point the EDPB emphasized that its role is to promote cooperation between supervisory authorities. It added that it will continue to facilitate exchanges between DPAs in order to ensure a consistent application of data protection law across the EU in accordance with its mandate. But the always fragile consensus between EU DPAs is becoming increasingly fraught over enforcement bottlenecks and the perception that the regulation is failing to be upheld because of OSS forum shopping.

That will increase pressure on the EDPB to find some way to resolve the impasse and avoid a wider break down of the regulation i.e. if more and more Member State agencies resort to unilateral emergency action.

The Hamburg DPA writes that the update to WhatsApps terms grant the messaging platform far-reaching powers to share data with Facebook for the companys own purposes (including for advertising and marketing) such as by passing WhatApp users location data to Facebook and allowing for the communication data of WhatsApp users to be transferred to third-parties if businesses make use of Facebooks hosting services.

Its assessment is that Facebook cannot rely on legitimate interests as a legal base for the expanded data sharing under EU law.

And if the tech giant is intending to rely on user consent its not meeting the bar either because the changes are not clearly explained nor are users offered a free choice to consent or not (which is the required standard under GDPR).

The investigation of the new provisions has shown that they aim to further expand the close connection between the two companies in order for Facebook to be able to use the data of WhatsApp users for their own purposes at any time, Hamburg goes on. For the areas of product improvement and advertising, WhatsApp reserves the right to pass on data to Facebook companies without requiring any further consent from data subjects. In other areas, use for the companys own purposes in accordance to the privacy policy can already be assumed at present.

The privacy policy submitted by WhatsApp and the FAQ describe, for example, that WhatsApp users data, such as phone numbers and device identifiers, are already being exchanged between the companies for joint purposes such as network security and to prevent spam from being sent.

DPAs like Hamburg may be feeling buoyed to take matters into their own hands on GDPR enforcement by a recent opinion by an advisor to the EUs top court, as we suggested in our coverage at the time. Advocate General Bobek took the view that EU law allows agencies to bring their own proceedings in certain situations, including in order to adopt urgent measures or to intervene following the lead data protection authority having decided not to handle a case.

The CJEU ruling on that case is still pending but the court tends to align with the position of its advisors.

Welcome back to Daily Crunch. You look great today!

From our perch, its fascinating to watch the exit market for startups wax and wane this year. And change it has. After kicking off with a blistering pace in early 2021 before succumbing to what felt like a sudden cold snap, it appears that the public markets are once again welcoming startups to their rosters.

At least thats what venture-backed digital mortgage unicorn Better.com hopes. And media companies BuzzFeed, Vice, and the artist formerly known as Bustle. Tech stocks might be losing ground, but the demand for unicorn liquidity appears to be winning out over caution. Alex

The world of startups has become so very broad that its a bit bonkers to try and cut down on the total news volume each day for this newsletter. So what follows is a sampling of what we published today concerning the upstart economy:

Blockchain credit ratings and NFTs and consumer gaming hardware and AR-tech for techs and fintech? Its a busy startup market out there.

Before Twilio had a market cap approaching $56 billion and more than 200,000 customers, the cloud-communications platform developed a secret sauce to fuel its growth: a developer-focused model that dispensed with traditional marketing rules.

Software companies that sell directly to end users share a simple framework for managing growth that leverages discoverability, desirability and do-ability (the aha! moment).

Data show that traditional marketing doesnt work on developers; to create and sell software to developers at scale, youll need to toss that B2B playbook and meet customers where they are.

In Your Backyard: Visit neighboring Ohio to go out of this world – Meadville Tribune

Posted: at 10:51 pm

Since our existence onEarth, humans have watched birds in flight during the day and gazedwith wonder at the jewels twinkling overhead in the dark.

The very first time mankind soaredwith the birds was in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (one of my most favorite areas on this planet).Ohio brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright took to the sky for one glorious and brief moment intime. The beginning to modern aviation, and the gateway for another young Ohio boy, who just33 years later at the age of 6, took his first flight with his father and ignited the spark and lovefor flying.

Neil Armstrong lived with his family for a while in Warren,Ohio, when he was young. His fathertook him to an airfield located at 2553 ParkmanRoad, Warren, where he was treated to hisfirst ride in an airplane. Currently the location of the former airstrip is located beneath a stripmall with an old Kmart building built over the prior runway. This was the launching point (dontmind the pun) for the young Neils fascination with flying. He later went on to get his pilot'slicense and 33 years after his first flight became the first man to step onto the moon.Locatedin a memorial near the McDonalds is a one half scale model of the lunar lander from the Apollo11 mission. It is an amazing tribute to mark a proud American moment in time.

There is a rich history in our area for space exploration that many of our young people may notrealize. So with the new excitement being generated by the Mars exploration currentlyhappening, why not take the opportunity to let your kids know just how much NASAs history isentwined within our neighboring state of Ohio.

In addition to the First Flight Memorial in Warren, you can also visit the boyhood home of JohnGlenn, former U.S.senator from Ohio and also the first American to orbit theEarth inspace. This home is located in New Concord, Ohio. There is also the Armstrong Air and SpaceMuseum in Wapakoneta, Ohio, that includes many exhibits including a moon rock.

Judy Resnik from Akron, Ohio, was one ofsix women accepted into the space program and thesecond American woman to go to space on the space shuttle Discovery. Tragedy followed,however, as she was also on board the space shuttle Challenger during its explosion. I, alongwith thousands of students across the United States, watched this event live in a classroombecause that was also the flight that the first teacher Christa McAuliffe was on.Horrified gaspsand then silence filled the classroom until the teacher quickly turned off the TV.

Aside from the disasters and disappointments, I am sure the initial space race was an excitingtime to be alive and watch the events unfold. The Cold War era is something spoken about soinfrequently that the young people of today probably have little idea what was on the line forthe United States and space exploration. The disappointment of losing the race of getting thefirst man into space to the Soviets, the joy of the words Thats one small step for man, onegiant leap for mankind the deadly accidents of the Apollo 1 capsule and the shuttlesChallenger and Columbia are just a few of the ups and downs our nation has endured in therace to the heavens.

Kids today learn about the International Space Station and how the counties work together fora common goal and may not realize just how new of a concept this truly is. In fact, even thephrase Houston, we have had a problem is notorious because it was changed to Houston, we have a problem in the "Apollo 13" movie staring Tom Hanks and is often quoted byyoungsters who dont know said it or what it is actually referring to. Thespaceshuttle programended in 2011, so many kids under the age of 15 do not have a first-hand account of some ofthe most exciting and dangerous events of the the20th century. In fact, I was even a bitshocked to learn that Ohio alone has had 25 natives become astronauts that have flown closeto 80 space missions.

So take a moment to wander over to Warren, where the man who stepped on the moon firstlearned his love of aviation and then get lost in the history of some of mans most exceptionalaccomplishments. Why did they go? the kids might ask, Because it was there, we cananswer.

WATCH NOW: LSU Tiger Eye 1 mission set to take place next year on the moon – BRProud.com

Posted: at 10:51 pm

BATON ROUGE, La (LSU) Next year, LSU will be the first university in the world to put science and research technology on the Moon. The Tiger Eye 1 research mission is part of a multi-disciplinary university-industry collaboration to make future space travel safer for people and equipment by providing insight into the complex radiation environment in space. LSUs radiation detection device is now officially on the manifest for the broader IM-1 mission, the first in a series of commercial flights and the first-ever to land on the Moon that will bring science and technology to the lunar surface throughNASAs Commercial Lunar Payload Services, or CLPS, initiative. This will also be the first time the U.S. lands on the Moon since 1972 and the Apollo program.

Students in five different LSU colleges and schools are leading the charge under the direction ofAssistant Professor Jeffery Chancellorin the LSU Department of Physics & Astronomy, head of itsSpace Radiation Transport & Applied Nuclear, or SpaRTAN, lab. All are undergraduate seniors from Louisiana:

Haley Pellegrin, from Bourg in Terrebonne Parish, is a LaSpace Undergraduate Research Fellow and member of the SpaRTAN lab where she develops new technologies to make better radiation shielding in the LSU College of Science. She graduates this month.

Jacob Miller, from Crowley in Acadia Parish, is an electrical engineering major who builds new devices for medical applications in the LSU College of Engineering and the Roger Hadfield Ogden Honors College. He graduates in December.

Katie Hostetler, from Zachary in East Baton Rouge Parish, is a graphic designer who creates art for LSU Athletics and this spring came up with the winning design for the Tiger Eye 1 mission patch; shes double-majoring in religious studies in the LSU School of Art + Design and the LSU College of Humanities & Social Sciences. She graduates in December.

NOTE: Media are invited to join the research team on Zoom on Monday, May 10 from 12:00-1:00 p.m.To receive the Zoom link and password, emailasatake@lsu.edu.

Were immensely proud of the LSU students leading this work on the frontier of science, technology, art and the human imagination, said Samuel J. Bentley, vice president of research and economic development. Its been incredible to see and support all of LSU coming together to move this mission forward. There should be no barriers to expertise, and this university-industry collaboration is a great example of how the caliber of our students and researchers can advance projects of critical importance to our nation.

This student-led, cross-campus collaboration reinforces LSUs impact on space exploration and planetary science, said Cynthia Peterson, dean of the LSU College of Science.As we prepare to put people on the Moon again in 2024, we must not only understand what it takes to protect our astronauts, but also what is required to perform science experiments in a space environment and safeguard the technologies needed to conduct the research.

Through itsmedical and health physics program and the SpaRTAN lab, LSU helps agencies and companies understand background radiation in space, one of the hard limits on how much time people and equipment can spend out there, beyond the Earths protective magnetic field. Understanding the types and amounts of radiation that exist on the Moon will be key to establishing a sustainable human presence on Earths nearest neighbor as well as traveling to Mars. The data brought back by Tiger Eye 1 will further the SpaRTAN labs research on improved radiation shielding in both materials and design.

We have models and predictions for human health risk on the Moon, but we dont yet have actual measurements of the radiation spectrum on the lunar surface, Chancellor said. Now that well get real data, we can use it to validate our models, make better predictions and increase the safety of future space travel.

The IM in IM-1 stands forIntuitive Machines, a Houston-based company pioneering humanitys next stepreturning the U.S. to the surface of the Moon. IM holds NASA and commercial payload contracts for two separate lunar landings through IM-1 in the first quarter of 2022 and IM-2 in the fourth quarter to help pave the way for the Artemis program, which will put the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon as early as 2024. The CLPS flights are all uncrewed and will make use of rovers and robots to conduct science experiments and test technologies in different areas on the lunar surface. Intuitive Machines is providing the vehicle, communication network and mission operations center for LSUs device to safely land on the Moon and effectively conduct research. IMsNova-C lunar landerwill be launched from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The solar battery-driven vehicle will spend two weeks on the surface before succumbing to lunar night, not far from Tranquility Base where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first walked on the Moon in July 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission.

The two main barriers for human spaceflight are propulsionhow to get there fasterand how to protect humans and equipment from radiation, said retired Colonel Jack 2fish Fischer, astronaut and vice president of strategic programs at Intuitive Machines. Without the shielding and radiation modeling LSU is helping to develop, the radiation effects on crews and equipment during deep space exploration would be catastrophic.

Using Jeff Chancellors ability to model this stuff and figure out what kind of shielding to use and where to put it, we see a future where it will be much easier and cheaper to go into space because we could open the lunar and space economy to a global supply chain, Fischer continued. We could put commercial, off-the-shelf technology out there and lessen the dependency on expensive, overdesigned solutions. The radiation data well get on IM-1 will change the equation of whats possible in space.

LSUs Tiger Eye 1 mission was enabled in partnership withGeocent, a New Orleans-based company that provides solutions and talent for the space, defense and homeland security communities. Geocent chose LSU as a research and development partner to test some of their radiation shielding, which led to an opportunity to share physical space onboard IM-1.

Geocent and our teammatesPlasma Processes, the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Tennessee, Knoxvilleare proud to bring Geocents ACCRES Radiation Shielding technology to the partnership with LSU and Dr. Jeff Chancellor, Intuitive Machines and especially LSU students to work on critical research and technologies that truly advance human spaceflight and exploration, said Robert A. Bobby Savoie, CEO of Geocent and LSU College of Engineering alumni. Were a national company but Louisiana-born, and its thrilling to see students from several disciplines coming together to make significant contributions to an important mission. Geocents technical strength is in its people, and we cant imagine a better way to build talent than challenging students to work together and rise to the occasion to put Tiger Eye 1 and their footprint on the Moon.

The LSU radiation detection device is currently being customized by Pellegrin and Miller who, as official project manager, also will engage LSU mechanical engineerings advanced manufacturing and machining capabilities to etch Hostetlers Tiger Eye 1 mission patch onto the physical device casing, which will occupy a space about the size of an iPhone 12.

The most challenging thing on missions like these is working within strict limitations on mass, volume, power, bandwidth and time, as well as communicating with and controlling devices from Earth, which means solving problems no ones solved before, Pellegrin said. Im super excited to be part of this mission and the knowledge and skills Ive gained have already kickstarted my career. They helped me land an internship at Geocent, which is a dream come true since I want to work in space and missile systems development.

Pellegrin and Miller are also working withAdvacam, a company based in the Czech Republic, on adapting radiation detection hardware, which is similar to a USB flash drive, that it has previously supplied for the International Space Station, or ISS. But while laptops and off-the-shelf equipment can be brought to the ISS to help integrate and connect such devices, that isnt possible on IM-1. Much of Millers work on Tiger Eye 1 lies in software development and coding, and possibly some wiring and soldering, to make sure the data from the sensor makes sense to the device, which must be able to communicate with the main Intuitive Machines flight computer to receive time stamps, temperature readings and other critical data. The LSU team is setting up a Tiger Eye 1 ground control center right on the main campus and hopes to be able to receive raw data as well as issue commands to the device while it is traveling through space and on the lunar surface.

Its sort of an engineering and computer science joke, but the amount of problems we solve by turning a device off and back on again is kind of astounding, Miller said. So, if we stop being able to communicate with the device or get weird readings, we need to be able to tell the lander to perform a power cycle to reboot our device or change other settings. Rather than just seeing a problem, we need to be able to do something about it without physically touching the device.

Earlier this year, Pellegin walked the Timepix chip the team will be using as a sensor over to the LSU School of Veterinary Medicines linear accelerator, where radiation is used to help treat animals with cancer, for initial testing.

Most of our patients are dogs and cats, but we do treat the occasional reptile, rabbit, horse or other pet, said Jayme Looper, director of the LSU Small Animal Hospital and itsradiation oncology services. Our recent collaboration with the LSU medical physics team to test the radiation detection device prior to its journey to the Moon is an example of a long history of intercollegiate collaboration at LSU.

Chancellor did the initial characterization of the Timepix technology in the 1990s as a masters student under advisor Larry Pinsky at the University of Houston, who did the dosimetry for the Apollo mission.

It takes a lot of time to sort of gather all of the information about how everything communicates and the protocols everybodys following, Miller said. It gets complicated really fast. But as an engineering student, I like the challenge of doing something thats really, truly new in just a few months. Its as scary as its appealing, and the result is going to benefit human spaceflight for years to come.

For Hostetler, the design of the mission patch didnt feel as new as it felt familiar. In a recentLSU Art + Design profile, she shared how her first opportunity to send art into space actually arrived already in fifth grade.

It was a contest to design a flag to go into space and I was really far ahead in the contest but ended up in second place, Hostetler said. So, when my professor, Courtney Barr, came to me with the Tiger Eye 1 opportunity, I was like, Fifth-grade me would be proud. My mom was especially excited.

Barr recruited seven undergraduate and graduate art students to come up with 19 different design ideas for the space patch. After careful vetting and input from the other students on his team, Chancellor chose one of Hostetlers designs, which features a fierce but protective tiger eye overlooking a spacecraft landing on the Moonbecause he appreciated the symbolism and also because it looked awesome.

The patch is an important symbol because it includes everyone on the team, Chancellor said. Folks like Danielle Cintron, Darya Courville, Greg Trahan, Shemeka Law and countless others at LSU have worked really hard behind the scenes to make Tiger Eye 1 possible. Space missions do not happen entirely in a vacuum and the patch itself helps to represent that idea.

I came up with a few different versions, but Im so glad he picked this one; its my favorite, Hostetler said.

With an eye on IM-2, Chancellor expects to call on Hostetler and the LSU Art + Design team again soon. Intuitive Machines will bring an ice drill and use a small drone ship to explore hard-to-reach areas on the Moon and test the Nokia 4G LTE network, while LSU is considering sending up a larger and more robust radiation detector, based on lessons to be learned on IM-1. When it comes to shielding materials and design, the vast spectrum of radiation in space doesnt lend itself to easy or particularly intuitive solutions. Adding more shielding or encasing everything in lead isnt an option in space. Not only would this add too much mass and cost; shielding in the wrong place could also slow down the radiation particles to the extent theyd get trapped inside the space vehicle or the human body, causing devastating damage to astronauts and equipment. Sometimes minimal shielding is the safest option and the LSU SpaRTAN labs research will continue to help the aerospace industry find out exactly where, when and how to effectively use it.

The upcoming missions reflect the importance and impact of LSUs Space Grant status, supporting critical space research across a range of topics. LSU manages the National Center for Advanced Manufacturing, or NCAM, a partnership between LSU, NASA, the state of Louisiana, the University of New Orleans, or UNO, and the UNO Research and Technology Foundation that is focused on applying advanced manufacturing technologies in support of NASA space programs. NCAM is located at NASAs Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, where critical hardware components for exploration vehiclessuch as core Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket components for NASAs Artemis mission to the Moonare engineered, manufactured and tested. Beyond state-of-the-art research, NCAM has a strong educational and talent development mission, working with aerospace companies to build the next generation of scientists and engineers.

With NASAs Johnson, Stennis, Michoud and Marshall Space Centers all within arms reach, LSU is helping to develop the workforce needed for the next step in space explorationlong-term, crewed space missions and a return to the lunar surface, said Jeffrey Blackmon, chair of the LSU Department of Physics & Astronomy. TheLouisiana Space Consortium, or LaSPACE, and the High-Altitude Student Platform, or HASP, have played major roles, but were especially excited about the tremendous opportunity Tiger Eye 1 is for LSU students to be involved in forefront space-science research.

As the Tiger Eye 1 team works to get everything ready for launch, something else just came upthe LSU SpaRTAN lab will be flying yet another radiation detector on SpaceXsInspiration4mission using their Falcon 9 launch vehicle and Dragon spacecraft this September, in collaboration with Pinsky. It will launch from NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida and be the worlds first all-commercial, all-civilian mission to space. It will circle the Earth before making a soft water landing off the Florida coast.
