Technical programme

A5.1. Human Lunar Exploration

This session will examine the scenarios and infrastructure required to support human lunar exploration. Papers are invited to discuss technology roadmaps as well as interfaces to allow international cooperation.

A5.2. Human Mars Exploration

This session will examine the scenarios and infrastructure required to support human Mars exploration. Papers are invited to discuss technology roadmaps as well as interfaces to allow international cooperation.

A5.3-B3.6. Joint Session on Human and Robotic Partnerships to Realise Space Exploration Goals

This session seeks papers on new systems and technologies for future human solar system exploration missions, and the role of human and robotic partnerships in areas such as human surface mobility systems (rovers); habitat/infrastructure construction; robotic assistants; and, precursor activities such as sample returns, in-situ plant growth and food and fuel production demonstrations. This session also welcomes papers considering how the roles of humans, machines and intelligent systems are likely to evolve in the coming years and the corresponding impact on complex mission design, implementation, and operations.

A5.4-D2.8. Joint Session on Going To and Beyond the Earth-Moon System: Human Missions to Mars, Libration Points and NEO’s

This joint session will explore heavy-lift launch capabilities, existing or under study, for human deep space exploration missions, new science, programmearchitectures, technology demonstrations as well as the issues of scientific and political motivations and international cooperation. The session will also deal with worldwide needs, requirements and potential missions enabled by heavy lift launchers.
