Technical programme

A5.1. Human Exploration of the Moon and Cislunar Space

This session will examine the scenarios and infrastructure required to support human exploration of the Moon and Cislunar space. Papers are invited to discuss technology roadmaps as well as interfaces to allow international cooperation.

A5.2. Human Exploration of Mars

This session will examine the scenarios and infrastructure required to support human exploration of Mars and the moons of Mars. Papers are invited to discuss technology roadmaps as well as interfaces to allow international cooperation.

A5.3-B3.6. Human and Robotic Partnerships in Exploration - Joint session of the IAF Human Spaceflight and IAF Exploration Symposia

This session seeks papers on new systems and technologies for current human spaceflight and exploration programmes, and the role of human and robotic partnerships in areas such as onboard robotic assistants, habitat / infrastructure construction support, human mobility support systems (e.g. EVA mobility aids, rovers); and robotic precursor activities to human spaceflights for test, validation, and demonstration of systems. This session also welcomes papers considering how the roles of humans, machines and intelligent systems are likely to evolve in the coming years and the corresponding impact on complex mission design, implementation, and operations.

A5.4-D2.8. Space Transportation Solutions for Deep Space Missions

This session is focused on in-space transportation capabilities and mission architectures, existing or under study, for human deep space exploration missions as well as the driving scientific mission objectives. Related enabling and support missions, such as robotic servicing and supply, as well as technology roadmaps to achieve successful deep space exploration missions shall be discussed. The session will also deal with lessons learned from past deep space missions beyond LEO as well as worldwide needs, requirements, and international cooperation to implement large scale exploration missions.

A5.IP. Interactive Presentations - 25th IAA SYMPOSIUM ON HUMAN EXPLORATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

This session offers a unique opportunity to deliver your key messages in an interactive presentation on any of the subjects of Human Exploration of the Solar System addressed in the classic Sessions. The presentation will be displayed on a digital screen in a dedicated location and available for view by all Congress attendees for the entire Congress week. In addition, one afternoon is dedicated exclusively for the attendees to view the Interactive Presentations, and the author will be assigned a specific ten minute slot to personally present the topic and interact with the attendees present. The Interactive Presentation may take advantage of all electronic display capabilities, such as: PowerPoint charts, embedded hot links, pictures, audio and video clips etc. An award will also be presented to the author of the best Interactive Presentation in the A Category at a special ceremony. An Abstract that follows the standard format must be submitted by the deadline for standard IAC abstracts.
