Japan CP – AT: DAICHI DeadJapanese Ibuki satellite system still solves EOS climate detection Talmadge 9 (Eric, Japan correspondent, Huffington Post, 1/23, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/23/japan-launches-satellite-_n_160413.html, accessed 7-9-11, CH) The satellite named "Ibuki," which means "breath" was sent into orbit along with seven other piggyback probes on a Japanese H2A rocket. Japan's space agency, JAXA, said the launch was a success, and officials said they were monitoring the satellites to ensure they entered orbit properly. Ibuki, which will circle the globe every 100 minutes, is equipped with optical sensors that measure reflected light from the Earth to determine the density of the two gases. Ibuki satellite expanding to solve DAICHI capabilities JAXA 10 (8/20, http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2010/08/20100820_ibuki_e.html, accessed 7-9-11, CH) The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) (hereafter referred to as the "Three Parties" collectively) are jointly promoting the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT) Project. The spacecraft was launched successfully on January 23, 2009, and has been operating properly since then. The GOSAT observational data and its processed products are released to the public. The Three Parties would like to accept research proposals for the third time for the purpose of facilitating the data quality evaluation, including calibration, validation, and the utilization of the GOSAT data. As appeared in the first and the second Research Announcement (RA), which adopted 88 research proposals in total, the Three Parties would like to accept research proposals in any of the following five specific topics also in the third RA: 1) Calibration, 2) Data processing algorithm, 3) Carbon balance estimation / Atmospheric transport modeling, 4) Validation, and 5) Data application. Japan CP – AT: US Key to RefugeesJapan leads humanitarian efforts, increasing role in post-conflict scenarios specifically Watanabe 4 (Makiko, Japan International Cooperation Agency, Humanitarian Practice Network, March, http://www.odihpn.org/report.asp?id=2617, accessed 7-9-11, CH) Japan’s humanitarian assistance dates back to 1953, when the government started funding UN relief work for Palestinian refugees. Since then, Japan has provided a vast amount of assistance worldwide, including financial aid, emergency supplies and personnel. This was primarily in response to natural disasters: Japan only became actively involved in conflict-related emergencies in 1992. Legally, humanitarian assistance for natural disasters remains distinct from humanitarian assistance in response to conflict. Nonetheless, Japan is starting to play a larger role in post-conflict environments, such as post-war Iraq, where Japanese troops were deployed in January 2004. ESA CP – SolvencyESA solves for disasters, environment, and resource security planning Space Activities Commission 5 (Special Subcommittee for Earth Observation, July, http://www.mext.go.jp/b_menu/shingi/uchuu/reports/05120701/002.pdf, accessed 7-9-11, CH) The European Space Agency (ESA) and European Union (EU) are planning to integrate the satellites that are already in operation and those that will be launched in the future to establish the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES), with the objective of autonomous monitoring of the global environment and security issues. ESA is currently implementing the Earth Watch missions as the first phase of that plan. The Earth Watch missions were designed to perform observations for application fields related to strategically and economically important fields (agriculture, forestry, geology, environment monitoring, risk management, marine and coastal monitoring, cartography, utilities and planning, and security). Though the development and initial operation of the system, including satellites, will be implemented by ESA, essential to the system is the concept of guaranteed provision of services in the long-term outside ESA. The Earth Explorer missions, which are also implemented by ESA, are research and development plans to contribute to Earth sciences providing advanced observation for ice sheets, gravity field, three-dimensional wind vector, soil moisture, ocean salinity, geomagnetic field, and other areas. ESA CP – Solvency – Satellite RecoveryESA means superior solvency—most innovative in solving technical issues Wagenseil 5 (Paul, reporter@ Fox News, MSNBC, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43647936/ns/technology_and_science-space/, accessed 7-9-11, CH) Proving once again that not all hackers are bad, engineers from the European Space Agency performed a "dirty hack" to revive a dying scientific satellite. Samba is one of four identical satellites that were launched in 2000 as part of the Cluster mission to study Earth's magnetosphere, the largely invisible blanket of charged particles that surrounds the planet and, not incidentally, shields us from deadly radiation. Ground controllers at the ESA's mission center in Darmstadt, Germany, were dismayed to discover in March that Samba wasn't responding to commands. Apparently all five power relays had locked into the "closed" position. The engineers searched the manuals for a fix, only to find none. But leaving Samba for dead would have meant scrapping the entire Cluster mission, since Samba and its siblings — Tango, Salsa and Rumba — need to dance in the sky as a foursome. So the German rocket scientists put their heads together and devised a way to get around the problem. They rewrote some software, uploaded it to one of Samba's sisters and found that it opened the power switches. Ground control then uploaded the same code to Samba itself, took a deep breath and pressed "Enter." The power switches opened and Samba came back to life. "The solution was based on a 'dirty hack' — jargon referring to any non-standard procedure — but we really had no other option," Cluster operations manager Juergen Volpp said in an ESA press release. "When everything goes as planned, flying a mission can be routine," said head of mission operations Manfred Warhaut. "But when unexpected trouble occurs, and there's nothing in the manuals, you really want to have an experienced and talented team on hand to solve the problem."
