Title

From Earth Missions to Deep Space Exploration

Description

This session will deal with the past successes and future goals of exploring deep space and how we pave the way from current missions to the future human exploration of the Earth-Moon-Mars space. It will analyze existing research roadmaps for robotic and human exploration or those under elaboration enabling ultimately a human mission to Mars. The alignment of these roadmaps with the long-range mission scenarios analyzed by ISECG will be assessed. The session will further look at sounding rockets, LEO and GEO spacecraft, examining how they can be used to develop and demonstrate technologies that will feed into deep space exploration.
