SUMMARY:Mars Direct: A Practical Approach for Near-Term Human Mars Missions
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Dr. Robert Zubrin\, President of both the Mars Society and Pioneer Astronautics\, author. \nThis lecture investigates means for achieving human expeditions to Mars utilizing existing or near-term technology. \nThe mission plan described here\, Mars Direct is accomplished with tandem direct launches of payloads to Mars using the upper stages of the heavy lift booster used to lift the payloads to orbit. No on-orbit assembly of large interplanetary spacecraft is required. In situ-propellant production of CH4/O2 and H2O on the Martian surface is used to reduce return propellant and surface consumable requirements\, and thus total mission mass and cost. Chemical combustion powered ground vehicles are employed to afford the surface mission with the high degree of mobility required for an effective exploration program. \nData is presented showing why medium-energy conjunction class trajectories are optimal for piloted missions\, and mission analysis is given showing what technologies are optimal for each of the missions primary maneuvers. The optimal crew size and composition for initial piloted Mars missions is presented\, along with a proposed surface systems payload manifest. The back-up plans and abort philosophy of the mission plans are described. An end to end point design for the Mars Direct mission using a Saturn V-equivalent launch vehicle is presented and options for further evolution of the point design are discussed. It is concluded that the Mars Direct plans offers a viable option for robust piloted Mars missions employing near-term technology capable of creating a sustained human presence on the Red Planet. Such a mission could be launched within the early 21st Century. \n  \nA Round Table will follow the lecture

SUMMARY:The Helicopter in France\, from its beginnings to the present day
DESCRIPTION:It was in France\, in 1907\, that the earliest attempts to fly “helicopter” type aircraft took place. It would then take nearly 30 years of research and testing to ensure that this complicated concept reached industrial stage\, and 20 years more for the precursors of a future European helicopter industry to emerge. Today\, rotary wing aircraft are indispensable in both civilian and military applications. France continues to play a major role in this sector. \nThree lectures illustrate the historical and technical aspects of this saga. Their authors\, AAE members\, are former executives of Eurocopter\, now Airbus Helicopters .  \nThe beginnings of the helicopter industry in France\nby Jean-Pierre Dubreuil\, former director of Programmes at Eurocopter\, AAE member \nThe helicopter in all its guises…\nby Michel Hancart\, former technical director at Eurocopter\, AAE member  \nAn “Ecureuil” at the top of Everest: story of an unbeatable record\nby Bernard Fouques\, former director of flight tests at Eurocopter\, AAE member  \n  \nFree admission in the limit of available seats

SUMMARY:Space in the service of defence: issues and threats
DESCRIPTION:by Gal. Bernard Molard\, former defence and security adviser to the President of EADS Astrium\, AAE member \nThis lecture will be presented in cooperation with the AQUI-IHEDN. \nNavigating in the desert\, firing a bomb at a target\, or communicating in the open sea… In a few years satellites have become indispensable to the smooth operation of military operations. In December 2018\, France launched the first satellite of the CSO component\, the first in a series of three\, offering exceptional optical observation capabilities. The same can be said for communications systems. European cooperative initiatives are becoming more and more precise\, enabling information to be exchanged and means supplemented (Germany\, Belgium\, Sweden\, Italy…). \nPresident Trump has decided to create a sixth branch of the U.S. Army in charge of coordinating American space activities; China is asserting its political position and in parallel proceeding to many launches. This shows how essential the space component has become in our operational systems. \nBut in space these structures are vulnerable to many threats: recent incidents have demonstrated this through attempts at intimidation\, forcing our government to take very firm positions. Our speaker will present all of these issues and show how important the space component has become to our defence strategy. \nFree entry\, obligatory registration \n\nIn partnership with. \n \nAQUI-IHEDN and Mollat Bookstore support this lecture cycle

SUMMARY:Towards a revival of supersonic transport?
DESCRIPTION:Gérard Théron\, former head of the Airbus Propulsion competence centre\, AAE member \nAt a time when supersonic aircraft projects\, mainly business aircraft\, are flourishing once again in the media\, this presentation begins by analysing the characteristics of Concorde\, the only supersonic commercial aircraft in the civil market. It then presents the projects developed in the years 1976-2000 by Aerospatiale\, BAe and Boeing\, before giving an opinion on the technical feasibility of recent supersonic aircraft pre-projects proposed by the design offices of various start-ups\, in the light of data currently available on their characteristics. \nFree admission in the limit of available seats. \n\nIn partnership with:
