DESCRIPTION:Every year since 1995\, the UK charity Earth and Space Foundat
 ion offers small awards (‘Earth and Space Awards’) to fieldwork and ot
 her activities that seek to deepen the understanding of the connections be
 tween environmentalism and space exploration.\n\nMost expeditions are elig
 ible. This includes university expeditions and other expeditions from priv
 ate or non-profit organizations and government expeditions.\n\nThe foundat
 ion supports the following types of projects:\n\n	USING SPACE TO MAINTAIN 
 EARTH AS AN OASIS\n	\n		Use of space data and materials to improve Earth. 
 Environmental work using technologies resulting from space exploration. In
 cludes the novel use of satellite communications\, GPS\, remote sensing\, 
 advanced materials and power sources for understanding our environment. Th
 e use of data from extraterrestrial exploration to help further our unders
 tanding of the Earth’s environments and the biosphere. Includes samples 
 and data returned from missions in Earth orbit and beyond.\n		Educational 
 advancement at the interface of environmentalism and space exploration. Pr
 ojects that improve public understanding of the links between environmenta
 lism and space exploration.\n	\n	\n\n \n\n\n	USING KNOWLEDGE OF EARTH TO 
 BUILD A SPACE-FARING CIVILIZATION\n\n	\n		Astrobiology-related fieldwork o
 r ‘analog’ field work. Field research in Earth’s extreme environment
 s that assists in the study of habitability elsewhere in the Universe and 
 the study of the survival of life in extreme environments.\n		Field resear
 ch applying Earth’s environmental and biological resources toward the hu
 man exploration and settlement of space. Includes the use of extraterrestr
 ial ‘analog’ environments on Earth to test space technologies\, and hu
 man physiological and psychological studies in extreme environments.\n		As
 tronomy at the interface between Earth and space exploration / astroarchae
 ology. Includes expeditions making astronomical observations from remote\
 , difficult to access Earth locations\, archaeological field projects stud
 ying the development of early civilizations that made significant contribu
 tions to astronomy and space sciences\, field expeditions studying the way
  in which views of the astronomical environment shaped the nature of past 
 civilizations.\n	\n	\n\n\nFunding: about £450\n\nDeadline: 30 June (every
  year)\n\nFor further information and application\, please have a look at 
 the call webpage and supported projects.\n
