oral

Description

50 years after humans first set foot on another celestial body, interest in space exploration is once again rising. Technological innovation, among other factors, has allowed both public and private actors to once again focus their energy beyond Earth orbit. However, today’s activities are characterized by cooperation rather than competition. This session provides an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned since Apollo 11 and to discuss the current challenges and opportunities in future space exploration missions.
