Title

International Space Exploration Policies and Programmes

Description

Space exploration is an important space policy domain that has been gaining momentum in recent years topping the S&T policy agenda in many countries. Space-faring countries have long been involved in human and robotic exploration but emerging space actors are increasingly getting involved in the field as well. International cooperation plans and partnerships are also increasingly leading to a new space exploration context. This session will provide a forum to reflect on the trends in space exploration and present the latest developments in the field.
