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 human spaceflight 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 range of topic to be addressed in this session include mission to low Earth orbit (LEO) and those beyond Earth orbit (BEO) and include orbital systems, crew and cargo transportation systems, as well as surface systems and operations on the Moon. The format of the session (e.g. panel, pitching presentations, keynote speech) will be a result of such a selection.
