Hall A2

  1. List of participants (see attachment 1)

2.Were excused: A. Guell, G. Laslandes

  1. Agenda: (see attachment 2)

3.1Organisation of Commission IV and Operating Mode: P. Bescond gave a short overview about the preceding Scientific Activties Committee meeting held just half an hour before the IAA Commission IV meeting took place (see attachment 3).

He presented his working model of our commission. He, however, expressed his concern that it is his impression that the membership in a commission is not well understood.

Further, he explained that a commission is composed of ten nominated members, plus the study group chairmen and the leader of programme committees. The duration of a study group is limited to typically 3 years).

Ingemar Skoog expressed his wish that the list of all members of the commission shall be made available on the web. He further raised the question why the number of members is limited to ten.

3.2Results of Commission IV meeting in Paris March 18, 2002

A report was given by P. Bescond. He also referred to the minutes available on the web.

3.4Study Group activities:

Study Group 1:Knowledge Management of Space Systems. P. Bescond stated that the first coordination meeting of this group will take place this afternoon.

Study Group 2:Quality of Space Programs: M. Grimard gave a presentation on both status and progress (see attachment 4).

Study Group 3/4: Small Satellite Missions for Earth Observation/ Cost Effective Earth Observation: R. Sandau stated that the first outline of the Position Paper is still the outline they presented in March 2002 (see attachment 5/6). The final version of this paper might get delayed beyond October 2003.

G. Sqibb suggested that preliminary versions of the study reports should be sent to all members of Commission IV. All members of Commission IV could then provide inputs to the study report in a rather early stage.

3.5Programme Committee activities

A discussion took place (Romero/Squibb) about the cons and pros whether a programme committee which is set up for more than one year should be tied to a study group. P. Bescond will address this question to the SG.

I. Skoog complained that his proposals for EVA was accepted for total different sessions in the conference. P. Bescond tried to explain that this was due to the limited amount of sessions available to IAA.

3.6Report to the Scientific Programme Committee and to the Board of Trustees

3.7Next meeting and work between meeting

3.8Any other business

A. Valenzuela asked the question to the Commission IV members if they would accept that the other study groups created in the former small satellite committee could be represented in commission IV. His objective is to concentrate all efforts in the same commission. The members supported this proposal.
