    Title

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

    type

    oral

    Description

    The emergence of new technologies will be essential to realizing the various systems and infrastructures that will be needed to enable ambitious scenarios for sustainable future space exploration, utilization and eventual settlement. Technologies for new, reusable space infrastructures are needed, including 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 robotic and human operations on the Moon, Mars and other destinations; and, (4) supporting in space infrastructures that provide key services (such as communications, navigation, etc.). Papers are solicited in these and related areas.
