The National Space Society is founding a new online, high-quality, peer-reviewed journal, the NSS Space Settlement Journal.
Journal-quality papers are solicited on all aspects of space settlement. Topics may include, but are not limited to, space settlement design, technology development, infrastructure, closed and semi-closed life support systems, extra-terrestrial mining, transportation, economics, social and legal aspects, historical analogues and activities leading to space settlement.
See the NSS website page about the NSS Space Settlement Journal for more information and how to submit papers.

Our friends over at the Wired GeekDad blog have started a new feature called This Week In Space:
Every week we’ll try to capture as many planned launch events, landing events, activities with different missions, and other activities as we can. We’ll never capture everything but hopefully we will consistently give our readers a resource for educational activities, events, and other information.
This week’s post, compiled by Brian McLaughlin, gives a taste of upcoming launches, Hubble observations, ISS status, and Mars Exploration Rover updates. It looks like a good (brief) reminder of some of the exciting things happening now in space. Since it’s GeekDad, too, we expect they will work in some kid-friendly activities in the future.
