D2.8-A5.4. 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.

D2.9-D6.2. Emerging Space Ventures, including Space Logistics and Space Safety for Sustainability
This session is dedicated to discussions of technical innovations or initiatives to achieve sustainable (considering cost, operability, capability and impact) Space Transportation Systems. Of particular interest are: - Identification of core evolving capabilities (systems, components, technologies) to conduct increasingly complex missions to a range of destinations over time - Addressing of emerging Space logistics, safety, technical challenges to foster flexible mission architectures using interoperability of building block components, and avoiding "one mission for one goal" (i.e. Single destination systems)

D2.IP. Interactive Presentations - IAF SPACE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS AND INNOVATIONS SYMPOSIUM
This session offers a unique opportunity to deliver your key messages in an interactive presentation on any of the subjects of Space Transportation Solutions and Innovations 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 D Category at a special ceremony. An Abstract that follows the standard format must be submitted by the deadline for standard IAC abstracts.
