The Global Network on Sustainability in Space (GNOSIS)

这是STFC期货项目的网络+提案。其主要目的是帮助有意愿的STFC科学界解决与空间可持续利用有关的一些基本问题。它的主要目的实际上是通过展示他们对21世纪挑战的影响能力，为STFC社区提供信息和指导。目前地球上的汽车比我们知道的太空碎片要多得多，但我们不认为“汽车问题”是由汽车数量的减少引起的，这是因为，总的来说，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，只是因为我们不太了解它们的位置和运动。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，“网络+”提案是一项社区建设活动，并与行业和政府合作伙伴形成互动，以解决垃圾问题。大多数活动的目的是帮助这些互动发生，由于STFC科学家与该领域之间已经存在一些联系，因此将解决一些重大问题。根据最佳做法，将在研讨会和沙坑上就主题进行讨论，并由专家小组审查更详细的研究。所有项目等都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.
