Title

Innovative Concepts and Technologies

Description

In order to realize future, sustainable programmes of space exploration and utilization, a focused suite of transformational new system concept and supporting technologies must be developed during the coming decade. The technical objectives to be pursued should be drawn from a broad, forward-looking view of the technologies and system needed, but must be sufficiently focused, to allow tangible progression and dramatic improvements over current capabilities. This session will address cross-cutting considerations in which a number of discipline research topics and/or technologies may be successfully developed to support transformational new system concept. Papers are solicited in these and related areas.
