The Global Network on Sustainability in Space (GNOSIS)

这是STFC未来计划的网络+提案。其主要目的是帮助有意愿的科学界解决与可持续利用空间有关的一些基本问题。其主要目的实际上是通过展示他们对这一世纪挑战的影响力来告知和指导STFC社区。目前地球上的汽车比我们所知道的空间碎片要多得多，但我们不认为“汽车问题”源于汽车的剪切数量，这是因为，一般来说，我们知道它们在哪里。这不是空间碎片的情况，这是一个问题，只是因为我们不了解他们的位置和运动足够好。STFC社区拥有了解这些材料及其相对于卫星人口的移动所需的所有技能。因此，这一网络+建议是一项社区建设活动，并与工业界和政府伙伴进行互动，以解决碎片问题。大多数活动的目的是帮助这些互动发生，因为已经有一些科学技术委员会的科学家和这一领域之间的联系，然后一些重大的问题将得到解决。根据最佳做法，将在讲习班和沙坑讨论的主题上咨询社区，并由一个专家小组审查更详细的研究。所有项目等将需要提供完整的行动清单和报告，概述成功和失败以及吸取的教训。

This is a Network+ proposal for the Futures programme of STFC. Its main aim is to help a willing STFC scientific community tackle some of the fundamental problems associated with the sustainable use of space. Its main aims are actually to inform and orientate the STFC community, by demonstrating their ability to impact on this 21st Century Challenge. There are currently far more cars on earth then we know of space debris but we do not consider the "car problem" originating out of the shear number of cars and thats because, in general, we know where they are. This is not the situation with space debris which is a problem only because we don't understand their positions & movement sufficiently well. The STFC community has all the skills needed to understand this material and its movement relative to the satellite population. This Network+ proposal is thus a community building exercise and forming interactions with industry and government partners in order to tackle the debris problem. Most of the activities are designed to help these interactions occur and as there are already some linkage between STFC scientists and this area then a few significant problems will be tackled. In line with best practice the community will be consulted over the themes for discussion at workshops and sandpits and more detailed studies will be examined by an expert panel. All projects etc will need to provide full action list and reports outlining successes and failures and lessons learnt.
