Space is the future. This is the main reason for which we have chosen our theme, Co-evolution of life. A space settlement is the best modality to study space’s effects on humans. Our inhabitancy will serve not only scientifical purposes, but also social ones.
As the population grows at a fast rate, we are only able to provide resources for a short period of time. Space exploration has become a necessity. I.O.S.S. aims to support the present, but also prepare us for the future.
I.O.S.S. is a settlement made to explore the surrounding area of the natural satellite of Earth. People from almost all fields of activities will be brought to compose this big community of 100000 inhabitants. Engineers, doctors, journalists, scientists, teachers and many others will take part in this “adventure” of living into space.
Because of the global economical crisis, our settlement was made in the most economical way possible and in a smaller scale than the previous settlements. We also approached the challenge scientifically, starting from the calculations and science facts, like our calculation of the gravity and also of the distance to which one can see.

От октомври 2010 г. във варненската народна астрономическа обсерватория с планетариум (НАОП), се провежда визуален патрул на слънчевата активност с образователна и изследователска цел. В настоящия проект се прави ретроспекция на историята на изучаване на Слънцето. Описана е методиката на наблюдения. Проследява се стойността на индекса на слънчева активност, наречен „относително число на Волф”, за периода 2010-2013 година, определен по собствени наблюдения. Анализират се тенденциите в развитието му. Установено е, че максималната активност през настоящия 11-годишен цикъл (№ 24) е есента на 2011 г. След едногодишно затишие, в началота на 2013 г., се наблюдава кратък период на повишена слънчева активност. Изчислен е коефициент на корелация между общата активност и проявите й в северното и южното полукълбо на Слънцето. Установено е, че северната полусфера на Слънцето има по-силен принос в общата слънчева активност. Остават открити няколко въпроса: ще има ли втори максимум на активността на 24-я цикъл през втората половина на 2013 г., колко продължителен ще е този цикъл и ще се активира ли южната слънчева полусфера.

Living in the space, independently from the Earth, is becoming a more and more pressing and mandatory goal of the humanity. To reach this objective, we used Earth's model of life evolution to create a self-sustained new ecosystem of our own, starting with the primordial forms of life and mimicing the way life evolved on Terra at a much faster pace.
It all starts with a dream. Since Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon, everybody has thought how would it be to go further, to reach other planets for example, and why not, to start living around them.
As Earth cannot be our home forever, space exploration has become a necessity. The purpose of our project is to emphasize the steps we have to make and all the difficulties we have to surmount in order to conquer the space.
After studying very well each planet, we have reached a conclusion. Mars, the red planet, raised hundreds of questions since its discovery and, therefore, determined us to find out more about it. Building a space settlement around Mars will not only help us sustain the present, but also prepare for the future.
Furthermore, we identified several basic needs which must be satisfied in order to provide a decent living for our inhabitants. These crucial areas will be heavily regulated, in order to maintain a safe environment.
Expanding into the space can also help scientific and technological progress. Space is the final frontier of exploration and it is virtually infinite.
We make our own future. Therefore, our project outlines a way to the space exploration, which will lead us to new discoveries and to a new way of living.
THOR este o misiune interplanetara realizata printr-o larga cooperare internationala, proiectată pentru a transmite date de mare importanţă stiintifica si economica despre obiectele astronomice trans-neptuniene si resursele minerale si energetice ale acestora, precum şi pentru demonstrarea viabilitatii unui sistem de transport interplanetar. Pentru a realiza acestea, este necesara o misiune de lunga durata, motiv pentru care THOR este o NAVA autoregenerativa si autoupgradabila cu ajutorul robotilor de service si a imprimantelor 3D. Misiunea fiind estimată la minim 35 de ani, singura sursă de putere ce oferă cantitati suficiente de energie pe o astfel de perioada este un reactor nuclear. Lipsa informatiilor exacte despre regiunea exterioara a heliosferei, a condiţionat proiectarea astfel incat, THOR sa poată raspunde la orice problema tehnologica si stiintifica. Din aceste motive, THOR este prima NAVA la bordul caruia se pot monta sau chiar fabrica sonde spatiale configurate pentru misiuni si obiective specifice, precum si roboti de diferite tipuri si dimensiuni. O reţea de sonde-releu, dispuse pe orbite heliocentrice între Terra si nava-mama, vor asigura o viteza suficienta de transmisie a datelor intre doua hop-uri, pentru a vorbi despre comunicatii spatiale brooadband, aceste retea va fi disponibila pentru monitorizare si comunicatii si pentru alte misiuni interplanetare.
Η εργασία μας αναφέρεται σε δευτερογενή υποατομικά σωματίδια που φτάνουν στην ατμόσφαιρα της γης μετά από μια φυσική διαδικασία που πραγματοποιείται στο διαπλανητικό χώρο και είναι η επιτάχυνση πρωτογενών σωματιδίων από τον ήλιο, από το γαλαξία καθώς και από εξωγαλαξιακές πηγές. Μέσω αλληλεπιδράσεων των πρωτογενών με διαστρικά αέρια παράγονται τα δευτερογενή σωματίδια. Το σύνολο των πρωτογενών και δευτερογενών υποατομικών σωματιδίων καθώς και οι ακτίνες γάμμα αποτελούν την κοσμική ακτινοβολία.
Η κοσμική ακτινοβολία και ειδικότερα η μια συνιστώσα της, των δευτερογενών σωματιδίων, προκαλεί ατμοσφαιρικούς καταιγισμούς σωματιδίων, οι οποίοι είναι δύο ειδών, ηλεκτρομαγνητικοί και αδρονικοί. Στον αδρονικό καταιγισμό παράγονται πιόνια και μετά μιόνια υψηλών ενεργειών, τα οποία καταφθάνουν στην επιφάνεια του εδάφους, με συγκεκριμένο ρυθμό.
Το ρυθμό απαρίθμησης των παραπάνω κοσμικών μιονίων μετρήσαμε πειραματικά με τηλεσκόπιο μιονίων στο ΕΜΠ. Τα σωματίδια που παράγονται
από τους ηλεκτρομαγνητικούς καταιγισμούς (π.χ. τα ηλεκτρόνια) βομβαρδίζουν τα υψηλά ατμοσφαιρικά στρώματα στην περιοχή των πόλων και
δημιουργείται το γοητευτικό φαινόμενο αυτό του πολικού
Σέλαος καθώς και το φαινόμενο solar proton events (SPEs). Επίσης, η κοσμική ακτινοβολία αυξάνει την ακτινοβόληση των επιβατών των αεροπορικών πτήσεων, επηρεάζει το κλίμα και τα ηλεκτρονικά στοιχεία των διαστημοπλοίων και των δορυφόρων όπως και την ηλιακή δραστηριότητα.
