Title

Systems and Infrastructures to Implement Sustainable Space Development and Settlement - Systems

type

oral

Description

The emergence of novel systems and infrastructures will be needed to enable ambitious scenarios for sustainable future space exploration and utilization. New, reusable space infrastructures must emerge in various areas include the following: (1) infrastructures that enable affordable and reliable access to space for both exploration systems and logistics; (2) infrastructures for affordable and reliable transportation in space, including access to/from lunar and planetary surfaces for crews, robotic and supporting systems and logistics; (3) infrastructures that allow sustained, affordable and highly effective operations on the Moon, Mars and other destinations; and, (4) supporting in space infrastructures that provide key services (such as communications, navigation, etc.). Considering its focus on design and operation solutions for future crewed missions, in 2023 this session will be jointly curated with the recently-formed IAF Space Habitats Committee, whose aims include fostering research and partnerships in the design, the construction, the scalability, the commercialization, the disassembling and the sustainability of space habitats and associated infrastructures, emphasizing Moon and Mars surface structures and orbital stations. Papers are solicited in all areas related to the scope of this session, from a variety of disciplinary approaches.
