ITS5.4/PS0.1 | Space and Planetary Exploration and Emerging Technologies
Space and Planetary Exploration and Emerging Technologies
Convener: Maxim Khodachenko | Co-conveners: Shobhana Singh, Bernard Foing, Navin Kumar Dwivedi, Arpad Kis
Research in space and planetary sciences is progressing rapidly with the help of emerging technologies. To tackle the complex challenges of space, and planetary exploration, it is essential to integrate various disciplines. Collaborative efforts are also necessary for the design and operation of spacecraft, satellites, and robotic missions. The session aims to showcase recent advancements in space exploration and novel technologies, relying on synergies between engineering, physics, satellite operation, material and computer science. It will also address the space infrastructures and services, workforce and capacity building needed to support space exploration. The session will be co-sponsored by COSPAR PEX (Panel on Exploration), IAF and IAA and we will solicit contributions from various space agenceis and key industry and technologies stakeholders. It is important that all contributions in this session highlight an inter- and transdisciplinary character of the presented R&D work, going beyond the scope of a single discipline. Clear demonstration of interconnections and cross-fertilization of the engaged brunches is crucial feature of the envisaged presentations and session discussions. The basic R&D topics include, but are not limited to, Astrophysics, Space Science, Spacecraft Design, Satellite Operation, System Engineering, Advanced material technologies, Computational Modelling and Simulation, Data Science, and Analytics. By convening experts from across the globe, this session offers brainstorming in addressing pivotal scientific inquiries and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration by highlighting the synergistic potential of space exploration technologies
