It contains seventeen articles on a wide range of topics, from virtual observatories, astronomy organizations in various communities (Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, South Africa), and the role of ground stations in space observatories, to quality assurance in UK higher education. In this foreword, I shall give some views on ideas expressed in this volume, in particular from my personal experience when I was project officer for the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). Let me first remind readers that present and future astronomy is in- creasingly dependent on high-level management. Not everybody knows that the scheduling of the Hubble Space Telescope is performed by a neural- network software called SPIKE, described in the stimulating workshop New Observing Modes for the Next Centuryl, partly reported in OSA Volume II by 1. Robson. New observing facilities, in space or on the ground, are so complex that they need highly qualified engineers and rigorous management procedures. Each observing hour on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) fa- cility is worth about EUR 7,000, incl | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Evaluation; Nation; Observatories; astronomy; astrophysics; education; environment; sociology; space science | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-010-0606-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-3932-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-010-0606-4Series ISSN 0067-0057 Series E-ISSN 2214-7985 | issn_series | 0067-0057 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2002 |
