Title

Interdependency

Description

As human and robotic exploration missions become increasingly complex, space agencies turn to partnerships to realize their goals and objectives. Contributions of multiple partners will become critical for the success of future exploration missions and the overall effort, resulting in interdependency. Such interdependency may need to be realized and managed at various levels (i.e. exploration road-mapping and planning, exploration architecture, individual exploration missions, exploration capability development, and mission operations. This session will analyze driving needs and concepts for interdependency and examine the enablers, barriers, opportunities and lessons learned in establishing an effective interdependent partnership.
