    IAF HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT SYMPOSIUM

    Description

    The symposium, organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), invites papers on all aspects of on-going and planned human spaceflight including the design, development, operations, utilization and future plans of space missions involving humans. The scope covers past, present and planned space missions and programmes in sub-orbital, low Earth orbit (LEO) and beyond Earth orbit (BEO), both governmental and private. The Human Spaceflight Symposium will also feature discussions on preparations for the launch of new human spaceflight capabilities and collaborative efforts of human and robotic systems and technologies.
