This thesis aims to study the Moscow’s perspective in space ventures in the Cold War and following the post-Soviet era by focusing on the change of global context in the goals and priorities of space activities. This thesis also focuses on exploring the trends and technological developments in field of space in other countries and evaluates the course of events in terms of political and economic factors that shapes the Moscow’s space strategy. This thesis argues that, Moscow was able to save a significant portion of the space industry assets from the Soviet Union. However, in comparison to United States and China, low funding of space industry in Russia and the lack of both commercial and scientific-technical ambitious tasks leads the erosion of Moscow’s space power position in international arena and commercial attractiveness in the growing global space market.

EUROPEAN SPACE POLICY IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT TONGA, ZEYNEP; TANRISEVER, OKTAY F.; Department of European Studies (2022-7) This study aims to analyse the motivations of the European Union in developing its Space Policy mainly in the Post-Cold War Period. In this context, the European Space Policy has been studied in terms of its civilian and military aspects. The thesis also analyses the history of the space race between the USA and the USSR during the Cold War Period in order to clarify the historical context of the EU’s space policy. Furthermore, the thesis also compares and contrasts the contemporary space policies of the US...
Progress in space weather modeling in an operational environment Tsagouri, Ioanna; Belehaki, Anna; Bergeot, Nicolas; Cid, Consuelo; Delouille, Veronique; Egorova, Tatiana; Jakowski, Norbert; Kutiev, Ivan; Mikhailov, Andrei; Nunez, Marlon; Pietrella, Marco; Potapov, Alexander; Qahwaji, Rami; Tulunay, Yurdanur; Velinov, Peter; Viljanen, Ari (2013-01-01) This paper aims at providing an overview of latest advances in space weather modeling in an operational environment in Europe, including both the introduction of new models and improvements to existing codes and algorithms that address the broad range of space weather's prediction requirements from the Sun to the Earth. For each case, we consider the model's input data, the output parameters, products or services, its operational status, and whether it is supported by validation results, in order to build a...
Time-Space and Politics in Understanding of Jacques Ranciere Çokşen, Sibel; Birler , Ömür; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2021-10) This study aims to analyze the relationship between politics and the configuration of time-space in Jacques Ranciere’s understanding. In Ranciere’s approach to politics, there is a different spatial and temporal perspective that has a direct impact on emancipation and equality. Time and space play an important role in political action. Therefore, political formulations are related to spatio-temporal constructions and theorizations. This dissertation is conducted to show that an emancipative political praxis...
Spatiality of diaspora: representation of home on urban street in the case of Beyoğlu, Istanbul Uysal, Burcu; Severcan, Yücel Can; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019) Elaborated on the notion and the production of diaspora as space through the tactics of territoriality that surface in the practices of everyday life, this research posits the idea of home embedded in the essence of the diaspora in its focus. It argues that through the ways of operating in the city, the diasporic subject represents the idea of home in urban space, and thus appropriates it by bending the territorial boundaries and blurring the distinction between us and them. Drawing on go-along interviews a...
Global Site Selection for Astronomy AKSAKER, NAZIM; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Erdogan, M. A.; Kurt, Z.; Kaba, K.; Bayazit, M.; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-03-01) A global site selection for astronomy was performed with 1 km spatial resolution (similar to 1 gigapixel in size) using long-term and up-to-date datasets to classify the entire terrestrial surface of the Earth. Satellite instruments are used to get the following datasets of geographical information system (GIS) layers: cloud coverage, digital elevation model, artificial light, precipitable water vapour, aerosol optical depth, wind speed, and land use and land cover. A multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA)...
