Dr. Carol Rosin (HonD) is an award-winning educator, child psychologist, futurist, international speaker, author, military strategist, and space and missile defense consultant.
Rosin is Founder of the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space. She is President of the Peace and. Emergency Action Coalition for Earth, P.E.A.C.E. Inc. She is World Peace Ambassador for the International Association of Educators for World Peace, IAEWP (NGO, UN-ECOSOC).
She is on the Advisory board of The LIFEBOAT Foundation, and is the Host of The Carol Rosin Show on American Freedom Radio. Dr. Rosin is Appointed Expert and Representative of the Association Ecology of the Unknown, based in Moscow, Russia, where she also works with the Konti Group of companies, and the Academy of Geopolitical Problems.
Carol is an educator, perhaps best known as the original political architect of the movement to stop the Strategic Defense Initiative(SDI) and Anti-Satellite Weapons (ASATs).
Carol became the first woman executive in the aerospace industry, a Corporate Manager at Fairchild Industries, a U.S. aerospace company, where she was also spokesperson for the late Dr. Wernher von Braun, known in the U.S. as the “Father of Rocketry.”
With von Braun, Carol invented and coordinated the award-winning “It’s Your Turn” educational and film program to motivate youth, women, and minorities in fields of science and technology so they could help achieve world peace and train for new jobs and careers in service in every field with an emphasis on health and a clean and safe environment for all. Their program won various awards including the Aviation Writers Award, the Science Teachers Gold Medal, and others.
Carol helped set up the ATS-6 satellite educational and medical training programs across the U.S. in Appalachia, the Rocky Mountains, in Alaska, and also in India, including the first national and international two-way, audio-visual satellite educational programs in over 20 countries, including in 5,000 villages in India.
Upon leaving Fairchild, after the death of von Braun, Carol became the National Chancellor of the International Association of Educators for World Peace (IAEWP), founded by Dr. Charles Mercieca, in consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council. After bringing several experts to the UN Second Special Session of the Peaceful Uses and Exploration of Outer Space in Vienna, Austria, Carol founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space (ISCOS) in 1983.
In that initial incarnation of ISCOS, the Board included Honorary Board Chairman Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Chairman of the Advisory Board Apollo Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Coordinator Connie Van Praet, and Advisory Board members that included the late Dr. Rashmi Mayur, the late Dr. Buckminster Fuller, the late Dr. Isaac Asimov, attorney Daniel Sheehan, Boeing Executive Abe Kriger, Dr. C. B. “Scott” Jones, Pentagon and White House advisor Commander Will Miller, and many others.
Carol was a witness in The Disclosure Project at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. in May, 2001, where she disclosed the Von Braun warning about what he called the “Last Card.” Previous “cards” we were to fear were Nations of Concern, asteroids and, finally, the supposed alien/UFO threat which he said was “all a lie”
She has participated in numerous media productions, interviews, speaking engagements, publications, YouTubes, and has briefed high level dignitaries. She served on technical and non-technical boards, including the Advisory Board of The Exopolitics Institute, and Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS).
Among her awards is the United Societies in Space award for her decades of Humanitarian Work for the Peaceful Uses of Space for Peace on Earth.
Carol and ISCOS are well-known for having helped start the movement to prevent the weaponization of space, and for educating the public and decision makers about the benefits and opportunities from space R&D, space exploration, and living and working in space. As an international consultant and speaker to countless audiences, Carol started the movements to “Stop Star Wars,” the “Leaky Umbrella Campaign” (first introduced on The Larry King Show on CNN), the “Campaign for Peace In Space,” and the “Campaign to Save Outer Space”…which at the time ultimately involved approximately 50 million people.
Her educational work has been focused on various aspects of space issues and actions and their relevance to achieving peace and a strong defense based on international cooperative space ventures, as well as a clean, safe environment here on Earth as humans explore and develop the space frontier. Carol is dedicated to banning all space-based weapons and to expanding international cooperative military, civil, commercial, and entrepreneurial space ventures that will provide benefits and opportunities for all in all cultures. She has spoken around the world regarding civil, commercial, entrepreneurial, and military world cooperation in space so that all humans and other animals may reap the potential benefits.
These benefits include a new kind of security system not based on weapons. This new system will stimulate economies by the applications of Space Age technology and scientific solutions. This has the potential to solve urgent problems of health, education, poverty, and emergency situations caused by natural or man-made disasters. As we experience the sixth potential extinction that many experts say is now underway, Carol works on projects to transform the war industry into a space industry
to end war and finally achieve world peace – all in the context of human evolution into a higher frequency of consciousness as more truth emerges regarding the reality of Cosmic Cultures.
Born in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, graduate of the University of Delaware where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree, Carol received an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities for her work in developing countries from Archbishop Solomon Gbadebo of Orthodox College in Nigeria.
She educates about a new technological, economic, political, social and spiritual presidential platform for how to transform the entire war-based industry and economy, feasibly and verifiably, into a peaceful space industry on Earth and in space. This is based on presidential leadership that supports the Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space. International cooperation is the new arena for verifiable “enforcement and verification.” Removing the intention to weaponize space is urgent and a necessary step in the process of providing us all with real national security and world security.
Carol is an official Advisor to the Peoples Republic of China’s highest technical institute, where she worked to design applications of the first 19 Chinese satellites. During the Cold War, she visited many countries to speak about the issue of peace in space for peace on earth relevant to the needs of each country with respect for each culture. She has met many times with people on all levels and in many areas of concern in the Soviet Union in order to discuss cooperative space ventures and the vitally important and urgent need to ban all space-based weapons. Even back to the days of President Andropov, whose statement of readiness to ban all space-based weapons and to sign a treaty was published in her book SPACE CAREERS. Some of those space ventures came to fruition, such as the Apollo-Soyuz linkup.
Carol returned to the U.S. with the first list ever of joint U.S./USSR space ventures on which the Soviets had agreed to work. That list included one that actually became the Apollo-Soyuz link-up. She initiated the first ever visit by nine U.S. Senators to the Soviet Union, as well as the first private, military-to-military meeting between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the first cosmonaut-astronaut meeting in Moscow, and the first conversations about several joint International space ventures. She participated in a number of U.S./USSR citizen diplomat programs in order to encourage international civil, commercial, military, and entrepreneurial cooperation in space and to ban all space-based weapons.
Both China and Russia have announced they would sign an agreement to ban all space-based weapons, with now over 100 countries also agreeing to ban all weapons from space. On May 22, 2019, the Foreign Ministers of Russia and Pakistan made the commitment that their countries would not be the first to place weapons in outer space and they invited other nations to join them!
ISCOS produced the first legislation in the U.S. Congress to ban all space-based weapons. This legislation was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressman Joe Moakley and in the U.S. Senate by Senator Tom Harkin. At Carol’s instigation, a later bill, the Space Preservation Act, was introduced by Representative Dennis Kucinich. Carol worked with Congressman Les AuCoin to create legislation to prevent the development and testing of5 anti-satellite weapons (ASATs). This was the first time in U.S. history that legislation was accompanied by a World Treaty, the Space Preservation Treaty, now updated and called the Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, called for by the Honorable Paul Hellyer, former Minister of Defense of Canada, who has said, “This Treaty is the most important document of our time.”
Her book Space Careers, was coauthored with the late Dr. Charles Sheffield, author and Vice-President of Earth Satellite Corporation. She created the first international aerospace telephone book for her presentation at the International Astronautical Federation Congress (IAF).
Upon his death, Carol replaced the late futurist/author/scientist Dr. Isaac Asimov as Coordinator of the World Space Commission of the World Service Authority, founded by Garry Davis.
She was a five star General in the First Earth Battalion founded by the late Lt. Col. Jim Channon, (U.S. Army, Ret.). She is also an Honorary Marine, an honor bestowed by former Marine Commandant Al Gray.
Carol was a consultant to TRW on the MX missile, weather satellites, and the time/money /management of the space shuttle.
Carol has consulted to companies and organizations including General Dynamics, IBM Europe, The National Space Institute, and many corporations, militaries (including the Space Command), intelligence organizations (including the CIA), government offices from the Congress to the White House, to countless NGOs, to high level officials, and grassroots around the globe. She has spoken at many meetings of civil, commercial, governmental, intelligence, militaries, and to representatives of NASA and other international space agencies.
She created the Space DEVELOPMENT Initiative (SDI), as the alternative that could replace the Strategic DEFENSE Initiative (SDI). She was Space Conversion Advisor to Presidential Candidate, the Reverend Jesse Jackson during his run for the White House. Rev. Jackson introduced this alternative SDI vision as part of his U.S. Presidential Campaign Platform. Carol presented the Space Development Initiative vision when she was keynote speaker at the U.S. California Democratic Convention as well as at several Republican and other political meetings.
She has testified before the U.S. Congress, both the Senate Armed Services Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee, as well as to the President’s Commission on Space, emphasizing the inexorable link between the commercial and military uses of space, educating about the importance and the benefits and opportunities of banning ALL space-BASED weapons, including the placing of weapons in outer space, thus transforming the entire war industry into a space industry: WITHOUT SPACE-BASED WEAPONS.
Carol was a Space Action Coordinator and Educator in Buckminister Fuller’s “The World Game.” The company Celestis, Inc. afforded Carol the opportunity to keep a promise to her friend Dr. Timothy Leary to launch his ashes into outer space aboard a Pegasus rocket launched from the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain. Also aboard that initial launch were the ashes of other space luminaries, including rocket scientist Dr. Kraft Ehricke, space physicist Dr. Gerard O’Neill, Todd Hawley, the founder of the International Space University, and the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, 26 people in all…an example of a non-weapons, peaceful, international cooperative space venture business.
Carol has authored numerous articles and appeared in many media productions, publications, presentations, and interviews about replacing war projects with peaceful projects such as building space habitats, hotels, hospitals, schools, laboratories, industries, farms, elevators, communities and crafts — endeavors that will provide enormous jobs and profits, and a new marketplace for products and services.
After several years living abroad, working from the local to the presidential level, Carol returned to the USA to introduce an exciting new Plan of Action with steps leading to the signing of the Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space. This draft Treaty was introduced by the leaders of Russia and China. Coordinated by Carol, a team of experts updated the Treaty. They included retired Navy Commander and top advisor to the late Senator Claiborne Pell, Dr. Cecil B. “Scott” Jones who is founder and President of the Peace & Emergency Action Coalition for Earth, the late Apollo Astronaut and Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, White House and Pentagon Advisor, retired Navy Commander Will Miller, and retired 35-year Boeing executive, Dr. Abe Kriger.
Dr. Rosin is currently working to support the urgent signing of the Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space.
