Title: Indigenous Space Social Justice, ITEK Artemis Objectives, Power of Lunar Dust, Lunar Regolith, Space Radiation Hardening, Nuclear Space Propulsion & Objective Due Regard SaaS
Summary: Traditional Ecological Knowledge is critical to sustainability in Space. What has been forgotten is the interconnectedness of all things. What are the issues? Dust: From the dust bowl to the Lunar surface, Lunar regolith and Lunar dust have special qualities in Space that are only now beginning to be understood. Radiation Hardening is needed for equipment and to support life in Space. Increasing Orbital Space Debris Cadence is increasing the probability of collisions between Space Objects. Solutions involve in situ debris and dust characterizations and accurizing of conjunction assessments. Objective Due Regard SaaS is one of those Solutions. Propulsion: From Voyager to Now to Nuclear - The Future

Title: Title: - The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Abstract:
The James Webb Space Telescope is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. It is the largest space telescope ever constructed and is giving humanity its first high-definition view of the infrared universe. The Webb is observing early epochs of the universe that the Hubble cannot see to reveal how its galaxies and structure have evolved over cosmic time. The Webb is exploring how stars and planetary systems form and evolve and is searching exoplanet atmospheres for evidence of life. The Webb’s science instrument payload includes four sensor systems that provide imagery, coronagraphy, and spectroscopy over the near- and mid-infrared spectrum. NASA developed the JWST in partnership with the European and Canadian Space Agencies, with science observations proposed by the international astronomical community in a manner like the Hubble. Launch of the Webb occurred during Christmas day 2021. In-flight commissioning was completed during June 2022 and science operations are now underway.
