Title

Novel Concepts and Technologies for the Exploration and Utilization of Space

type

oral

Description

In order to realize future, sustainable programs of space exploration and utilization, a focsed suite of transformational new systems concepts and supporting technologies must be advanced during the coming decade. The technical objectives to be pursued should be drawn from a broad, forward looking view of the technologies and systems needed, but must be sufficiently well focused to allow tangible progression—and dramatic improvements over current capabilities—to be realized in the foreseeable future. This session will address cross cutting considerations in which a number of discipline research topics and/or technologies may be successful synthesized to enable a transformation new systems concept to be achieved. Papers are solicited in these and related areas.
