Title

IAA 2010 Space Summit Reporting and Way Forward

Description

At the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the International Academy of Astronautics has organised, on November 17, 2010, a Heads of Space Agencies Summit in Washington. 30 space agencies heads welcomed a Declaration on four key domains where space is playing a key role : Human space flight, Robotic exploration, Climate change and green systems, and Disaster management. This Declaration was the result of four IAA study groups on these topics. The session will allow the chairs of these study groups to deliver a comprehensive reporting of their findings and the associated recommendations. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion on the next steps towards the implementation of these recommendations.
