[Chapter-delegates] WEBCAST TODAY 1130-2200EST: Space Technology Innovations Conference

[Joly MacFie]

We have come a long way since Claude Shannon first theorized digital
communications<http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/401112/claude-shannon-reluctant-father-of-the-digital-age/>in
1948. The cutting edge is the ongoing development of DTN - Delay
Tolerant Networking<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay-tolerant_networking>-
that can extend the Internet over the immense distances of Space. The
Internet Society's IPNSIG has, for quite some years, coordinated the
effort. This is their first full conference.  Many of the technologies have
terrestrial applicability, too, in reaching remote regions. Agenda is
here<http://ipnsig.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/AgendaDraft7.png>

Friday January 24 2014 the Internet Society's InterPlanetary Networking
Special Interest Group <http://www.ipnsig.org> (IPNSIG) will be hosting a
one-day conference entitled “Space Technology Innovation: Enabling
Exploration Above—Improving Life
Below”<http://ipnsig.org/2014/01/16/details-about-the-space-technology-innovations-conference/>at
Google HQ in Mountain View CA. Confirmed speakers include: *Vint
Cerf*—VP & Internet Evangelist at Google—on the history and future of
interplanetary networking; *David Brin*—Physicist, futurist and major
science fiction writer—on the paths that space technology innovations might
take in the next 10 – 100 years.; *Maria Uden*—Lulea Technical University,
Sweden—on the application of Delay & Disruption Tolerant Networking
technologies (which were originally developed to enable interplanetary data
communications) to solve connectivity problems for remote and disconnected
communities here on earth; *Michael Cassidy*—Director of Google X Lab’s
“Project Loon—on Project Loon: GoogleX Lab’s project to bring internet to
the world via high altitude balloons;  *Scott Burleigh*—JPL’s chief
architect for Delay & Disruption Tolerant Networking—on the Ring Road
Architecture (a proposal to provide basic network services to any
geographical region through a constellation of nanosatellites using Delay &
Disruption Tolerant Networking); *David Israel & Dr. Don Cornwell*—with
NASA’a Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) – on the recent
demonstration of DTN over laser communication links to the Moon; *Paco
Ragageles*—founder of Campus Party—the largest technology festival
organizer in the world—on engaging youth to participate in technology; *Dr.
Frederick Mednick*—founder of Teachers without Borders (TWB)—on TWB’s work
to improve teaching skills and outcomes for students around the globe—and
opportunities to use Delay & Disruption Tolerant Networking to deliver TWB
content to teachers and students in remote areas; *Chris Carberry*—Executive
Director of Explore Mars, Inc. —on: when will humans step foot on Mars;
 and *Boeing/NASA’s team* managing DTN deployments on the International
Space Station—on recent and planned uses of DTN on ISS.  The entire event
will be webcast live via the Internet Society livestream
