"Bremen has everything that a hub for the space industry needs"
15 February 2017 - Nina Svensson
Interview with Dr Peter Vits, Bremen's State Coordinator for the Space Sector
In December 2016, ministers from the ESA member states met in Lucerne to determine the roadmap for the European space sector for the years to come. Ahead of the event, the three German federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Bremen developed joint recommendations, with Bremen's interests being represented by its State Coordinator for the Space Sector, Dr Peter Vits. In the following interview Dr Vits talks about Bremen's strengths and opportunities.

What does the joint position paper for the 2016 ESA ministerial council conference propose?
In 2014 the ESA member states passed a resolution to develop and build the Ariane 6 launch vehicle and to operate the International Space Station (ISS) up to 2020. These were key decisions that it is hoped will secure independent European access to space and the future of human space travel. They are helping to maintain existing and create new jobs and to expand technological expertise at locations including Bremen. It is crucial that both decisions continue to be followed through with.
What joint recommendations did Bremen, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg make for the conference?
All ISS partners, with the exception of Europe, agreed to continue operating the ISS until 2024. However, both Germany and Europe should be making longer commitments than always just for two years. For the carrier rockets, we need to systematically implement the resolutions made in 2014. Moreover, close technological integration between Ariane 6 and Vega should result in greater German participation in Vega. For Bremen and for Airbus Safran Launchers, it is important to retain and expand responsibility for the upper stage of the rocket. At the same time, we recommend putting the focus on new and innovative satellite applications in the areas of navigation, telecommunications and Earth observation. These could be satellites that combine Earth observation with applications for the maritime industries or logistics, such as port security and coastal protection. I see a lot of potential here.

What could this mean specifically for Bremen?
Bremen-based companies and institutes could support these developments in individual projects. OHB SE, for example, is developing an advanced electrically powered telecommunications satellite called Electra that will weigh less than three tonnes. This would reduce launch costs and make the satellite a more attractive prospect for new users.
Germany, and Bremen in particular, already play a leading role in the field of robotic exploration. This role is going to be secured and built on going forward through German involvement in the robotics programmes.
Which projects or programmes might benefit from Bremen's robotics expertise?
Removing space debris – or preventing it from being created in the first place – is an issue that will become increasingly urgent. And it's not just a matter for Europe of course. This is a global problem. Regulations need to be put in place to avoid the creation of space junk. The second point covers the documentation and measurement of existing space junk and the prevention of accidents. And the third point: what do we do with it all? Catch it, vaporise it under controlled conditions or move it into safe orbit? Thanks to its capabilities gained in robotics and in the Automated Transfer Vehicle project, Bremen already offers technologies that can and should be used to solve these problems. Airbus Defence and Space, for example, have started to build the European Service Module (ESM). The ESM is a key element of Orion, a next-generation spacecraft that NASA will be using to send astronauts into space for the first time since the space shuttle programme came to an end.
The big question when it comes to space law is who does the debris actually belong to? And who is responsible for getting rid of it? Who should be paying for this?
On the other hand, it's not always clear who, for example, is allowed to dispose of an old satellite that is 'in the way'. At the moment, the country where the launch took place is liable for any damage that occurs. But of course they just pass the liability to the country that commissioned the launch – it's going to be very interesting to see how these legal questions and licensing procedures get resolved.
How do you assess the future of Bremen as a hub for the space industry?
Very positively, because in Bremen we have everything that a hub for the space industry needs. That includes three industrial giants, three universities, lots of suppliers, an integrated subcontracting network for electrical and mechanical services, and research institutes such as the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence, the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM and the Centre of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity. Maintaining this status quo is the minimum requirement; building on it is our goal. To this end, we need to do better at coordinating and providing information so that all our stakeholders can work more closely together and jointly harness the opportunities on offer. We have to think more holistically, as one Bremen location, and not just in the interests of the individual companies.
At the end of September you attended the 2016 International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Mexico. What was your role there as Bremen's State Coordinator for the Space Sector?
The IAC is a key event for scientists, agencies and commercial organisations – basically the key decision-makers of the industry. I was mainly there to promote the 2018 IAC in Bremen to delegates and exhibitors. But I also took the opportunity to hold discussions with political decision-makers from Germany, which I think is important too. As state coordinator it is my job to hold lots of talks, to represent the interests of Bremen's space industry, and to gather information on things like new technologies, developments and programmes so that I can then report on this to Bremen's state government, mayor and Bremeninvest.

You've heard of the Vatican, Athens, and Iguazú — heck, you've probably been there. These sites draw the big crowds, thanks in part to the UNESCO statuses they gained for their cultural significance, natural beauty, or both. What you may not know is that there are 1,092 UNESCO World Heritage sites across the globe, each chosen for the same reasons. For reasons stemming from difficulty to access to a lack of hype in guidebooks, many of these sites see far thinner crowds than others. If you're willing to travel a bit deeper, you can check out these eight amazing and underrated UNESCO sites around the world — and have the place nearly to yourself.
Madagascar gets all the attention for its natural beauty and diverse wildlife — DreamWorks even made a movie about it. But just north sit four islands making up the Aldabra Atoll, one of the largest coral atolls in the world. Aldabra boasts a range of habitats that easily rival the more famous island's level of biodiversity. Due to its isolated location in the Indian Ocean, mankind has yet to disturb these habitats teeming with wildlife. Strict tourism regulations further protect the coral atoll and its population of over 150,000 Aldabra Giant tortoises — the world's largest population of this reptile. If you're lucky, you might also catch a glimpse of the white-throated rail, the last remaining flightless bird of the Western Indian Ocean.
Move aside, Stonehenge. Three megalithic tombs — the Menga and Viera dolmens and the Tholos of El Romeral — collectively represent one of the most remarkable examples of European prehistory and European Megalithism. Built in the Neolithic and Bronze Age, they're hidden beneath the natural landscape, but you can find them by their location near natural landmarks La Peña de los Enamorados and El Torcal. The recent inscription of Antequera Dolmens in the southern region of Andalusia means it's still largely unknown as a UNESCO site to the many visitors who flock to la Alhambra of Granada or the Alcazar of Sevilla.
Maybe travelers miss this ancient hub of Islamic culture because of Uzbekistan's proximity to Middle Eastern nations shown in the news for ongoing conflicts — or maybe they just can't find it on a map. But you've definitely heard of the city's most famous visitor: Marco Polo. The Italian merchant and his family set up shop here for three years due to its location along the Silk Road. While individual highlights like the beautiful brick Poi-Kalyan minaret, the Magoki Attori mosque, and the famous Ismail Samani tomb are highlights of 10th- and 11th-century Muslim architecture, it's the entire urban center as a whole, the world's most complete example of a Central Asian town, that stands out.
Once you've done your obligatory visit to Machu Picchu, head northwest to the striking landscape of the Cordillera Blanca — the world's highest tropical mountain range. Here you'll find over 100 glacial lakes, pockets of varying vegetation, and tropical glaciers set amongst the towering, snow-covered peaks. The spectacled bear and Andean condor call this breathtaking UNESCO site home. With natural beauty like this, you'll wish you could, too.
The Great Barrier Reef might overshadow Australia's Kakadu National park in popularity — but not in size. Kakadu is the continent's largest national park and hosts a range of unique ecosystems, including mangroves, floodplains, and monsoon forests. Preserved within the park are cave paintings and rock carvings from the region's Aboriginal population. They've inhabited the region consistently for over 50,000 years and continue the hunting-and-gathering tradition that began in the Pleistocene Era. A visit to Kakadu makes for a cultural and natural experience that shocks the senses.
If you want to see the world's largest non-polar icefield backed by towering, snow-capped mountain ranges, you won't be heading to Yosemite, Yellowstone, or Banff. Get off the beaten path and trek out to this underrated UNESCO site comprised of four impressive national parks along the US/Canada border at Alaska. This is one of the last remaining places on Earth where natural evolutionary and environmental changes control ecological processes. Populations of animals endangered elsewhere, like grizzly bears and Dall sheep, self-regulate and thrive in this untainted environment.
At the foot of the Sierra Madre Occidental range sits Morelia, a 16th-century center that showcases the combination of the Spanish Renaissance and Mesoamerican experiences. It was also one of the major centers where forces clashed during the nation's battle for independence in the 19th century. Morelia boasts over 200 historical monuments and buildings in one place, all constructed from the region's characteristic pink stone. The architectural mastery demonstrated in the construction of this UNESCO heritage site makes it an underrated must-see for travelers visiting Mexico.
Mount Wuyi gives visitors a look at both the biodiversity and history of China in one package. Temples and monasteries where neo-Confucianism blossomed line the epic gorges of the Nine Bend River, and Han dynasty rulers established a prominent administrative capital in the 1st century BC where an archeological site now stands. Located in the southeast province of Fujian, the area surrounding Wuyishan serves as a refuge for ancient wildlife species, many of which are native to China. While many travelers only see the Great Wall, the cultural and ecological significance of the Wuyishan make it worth the visit.

The five Manchester United players Ralf Rangnick could be without for Southampton clash
Five senior players are set to be absent for Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Southampton at Old Trafford in the Premier League
15:00, 11 FEB 2022
Updated 15:16, 11 FEB 2022
Manchester United could be without five players for their Premier League clash with Southampton on Saturday.
Saints travel to Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime to face Ralf Rangnick's side, where another shock win on the road would move Ralph Hasenhuttl's side up to ninth for at least a couple of hours.
For the meeting between the two clubs, Rangnick could be without as many as five first-team players for the game.
Of the quintet, Brazilian left-back Alex Telles is the closest to returning after recently missing out with Coronavirus. Midfielder Fred has also recently tested positive and will not be back in time for tomorrow's match as he is still isolating.
Ivorian centre-back Eric Bailly has been ruled out with a swollen ankle injury and experienced midfielder Nemanja Matic is also due to be on the treatment table with a shin injury.
United will also be without Mason Greenwood, with the young forward suspended by the club until further notice.
Greenwood has not featured for Manchester United since a 1-0 win against West Ham last month, with the club stating that he will not return to training or play matches "until further notice" after a woman accused the player of assaulting her.
Last month, Greenwood was arrested under suspicion of rape and assault. He was then further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and making threats to kill. Greater Manchester Police confirmed last week that he had been released on bail pending further investigation.

Convenience is really the crowd drawer but this does not keep virtual casino owners from creating more attractive offerings for their customers. One thing is for sure, competition is quite high online, that is why, they need to attract more people by giving bonuses and promotions.These bonuses comes in all shapes and sizes. Some come in small amounts while others go up to hundreds of dollars but this is always attached to a requirement before it can be claimed. A No Deposit Casino Bonus is one of the popular bonuses offered online. This is not something all virtual casinos have though. Based on the name itself, this is something customers can use to avoid placing deposits.
They can try any game they want to play and place bets on it without the required deposit amount. Some players actually avoid websites that mandates deposits because they are forced to stay even if they do not enjoy what it has since they are tied to the amount they gave. This bonus is very useful if you want to learn more about the website you wish to register in and play. You do not have to place any amount as your deposit but you can still check whatever game you have in mind. Sometimes, you would want to test the waters first before you really wad into the deeper part and this should be how you play in an online casino. Take advantage of this and have the best game time ever.
