Description

The session provides the forum for updates and annual “Overview” presentations on present and evolving governmental Human Spaceflight programmes. Each year, the session will focus on specific themes dealing with manned space exploration. These will be selected by the session chairs based on the received abstracts. The session will accept manuscripts from any organization (agencies, industries, research centers, academia, etc.) dealing with international, Governmental human space programmes initiatives. The format of the session (e.g. panel, pitching presentations, keynote speech) will be a result of such a selection.
