Title: Public-Private Partnerships: Traditional and New Space Applications
type: oral
Description: This innovative session convenes experts from different sectors within the space industry and leaders from both the private sector and government agencies to explore their roles and emerging best practices that encourage public and private partnerships (PPP). Therefore, we welcome submissions that explore recent advancements and facilitate the commercialization of space, innovative business models, markets, the diversification of space economy budgets, including sustainability principles, and the attraction of private investments across various fields within the industry that highlight the following topics: 1. Traditional space industry applications, such as satellite-based services encompassing Earth observation, navigation, and communications. 2. New space industry applications mainly focus on space resource extraction, utilization, and asteroid mining (ongoing and future missions, including the Psyche mission, challenges, opportunities from various perspectives, cutting-edge technologies, and any related research or activity that encourage the development of this field and new markets), along with space tourism, space industrialization, commercial space debris, and related activities. This session will open with an invited keynote speaker, followed by a panel of experts for a discussion and Q&A period, and will conclude with paper presentations.
