Event Description:  On the occasion of the celebration of Space Week, the Vice-Rectorate for Smart-Campus, with the collaboration of the Vice-Rectorate for Strategic Projects, the Malaga Astronomy Society, Canovas Foundation and the Green-Senti research team (project of the First Own Plan of Smart-Campus) organizes the day entitled "A Look at Space" on October 7. The event will bring us closer to the world of space and will allow us to discover projects currently carried out by the University of Malaga related to space such as the International Space Station, space junk, circular economy in space and other applications that facilitate our day to day In addition, we will be shown different types of views on the development that currently exists and will offer the opportunity to perform an astronomical observation. Programming 6:00 p.m. The circular economy and the Melissa project. Clara Plata (Team member of the Vice-Rectorate for Strategic Projects and Manager of Operations and Technologies at SEMiLLA IPStar Bv). MELiSSA, an English acronym for Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative, is a multidisciplinary project conceived as an ecosystem based on micro-organisms and higher plants, designed as a tool to understand behavior of artificial ecosystems and to develop the necessary technology for future regenerative life support systems for long-term manned space missions and their application, through the SEMiLLA platform to the terrestrial environment. 6:30 p.m. Green-senti José F. Aldana Montes (Professor at the University of Malaga. Degree in Computer Science and Doctor in Computer Science from the University of Malaga) The Green-Senti project funded by the I Smart Campus Own Plan proposes a new web service for monitoring the green areas of the University of Malaga campus, and its evolution in general, through the capture and analysis of images of Sentinel-2 satellite of the EU Copernicus program. 7:00 p.m. University Debate: "Balance between space progress and pollution" University Debate Group of the Cánovas Foundation. Teacher: Pablo Sánchez Molina Responsible: Pepa Leiva Florido and Álvaro Aleñá Burgos Cánovas-UMA team in favor: María Guerrero Campos, Mario González Bisbe, Raquel Meco Menéndez, Pablo Ruiz Ramírez Cánovas-UMA team against: Francisco Zambrana Durán, Álvaro Robles Aguilar, Pablo Orti García, Carmen Coronas Muñoz They will offer us a debate on technological development and space that will lead us to know different types of views, advantages and disadvantages, giving us a transversal view of the subject. 7:30 p.m. Talk about the International Space Station and the surveillance of space debris Alberto Castellón (Professor of the Department of Algebra, Geometry and Topology of the University of Malaga. President of the Malaga Astronomy Society The International Space Station will be discussed, as well as the monitoring of space debris. The launching of a multitude of satellites into orbit since the beginning of the space age has come to populate the terrestrial environment of a cloud of artefacts already out of service (or fragments of those that have been destroyed) whose increasing density threatens those who continue in active. In addition, there are especially desirable orbits, such as geostationary, where finding a hole is increasingly difficult. Only from a few years ago the seriousness of this problem is assumed and solutions are proposed. The Global BOOTES Network (Burst Optical Observer and Transient Exploring System) of the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia participates in the monitoring of space debris. This talk will give a brief description of the methods used for the follow-up and try to project some of the images taken live by one of its observatories, the one located in Yunan (China). ” 8:00 p.m. Astronomical observation Malaga Astronomy Society If the weather conditions permit, it will begin by seeing the flight of the International Space Station with the naked eye. Then the Moon, the planets Jupiter and Saturn and some deep-sky objects (open clusters and double stars) will be observed.
