39th SYMPOSIUM ON THE SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE (SETI) – The Next Steps This symposium organized by the International Academy of Astronautics deals with the scientific, technical and interdisciplinary aspects of the search for extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) including a discussion of all kinds of contacts. The technical side is not limited to the microwave window, but includes also optical and any kind of radiation. The interdisciplinary aspects include all societal implications, risk communication and philosophical considerations of any kind of discovery or contact.
HUMAN EXPLORATION OF THE MOON AND MARS SYMPOSIUM This 13th Symposium organized by the International Academy of Astronautics covers the strategic plans, architectural concepts and technology development for future human exploration of the Solar System.
SPACE DEBRIS SYMPOSIUM The Symposium will address the complete spectrum of technical issues of space debris: measurements, modelling, risk assessment in space and on the ground, reentry, hypervelocity impacts and protection, mitigation and standards, and Space Surveillance.
EARTH OBSERVATION SYMPOSIUM This Symposium focuses on space missions which deal with collecting information about the Earth and its environment. Session topics deal with all aspects of Earth Observation missions including the policy and infrastructure of international cooperation and coordination, the emergence of commercial systems to satisfy market needs, the technical descriptions of new missions and sensors to be used, data processing and GIS, environmental applications and global change studies and the use of space-based technologies.

HUMAN SPACE ENDEAVOURS SYMPOSIUM This symposium addresses all aspects of human space endeavours including the design, development, operations, utilization and future plans of space missions involving humans. The scope covers past, present and future space endeavours.
SMALL SATELLITE MISSIONS SYMPOSIUM This Symposium, organised by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), addresses Small Satellite programmes for Commerce and Science & Technology, encompassing space science, earth observation, and exploration missions; and focusing on results achieved, as well as plans for new missions. The Symposium also addresses five areas across the entire spectrum of small satellite missions – design and technology, cross-platform compatibility, planning for and executing cost-effective operations, affordable and reliable space access, and implementing small satellite programmes in developing countries.
SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED APPLICATIONS This symposium will address various aspects of integrated applications. Integrated applications combine different space systems (Earth observation, navigation, telecommunication, etc) with airborne and ground-based systems to deliver solutions to local, national and global needs. They exploit the synergies between different data sources to provide the right information at the right time to the right user in a cost-effective manner and deliver the data to users in a readily usable form. The goal of the symposium is to enable the development of end-to-end solutions by connecting the communities that are driving toward end-to-end solutions with those that are developing enabling technologies for integrated applications. For the purposes related to the small satellites, please refer also to the session B4.4.
SPACE OPERATIONS SYMPOSIUM The Space Operations Symposium addresses operations concepts and cost reductions, and training. The topics address all aspects of manned and un-manned space operations from low-earth and geosynchronous orbit, to lunar and planetary missions as well as supporting ground systems and new space initiatives. For the papers dedicated to the small satellites, please refer also to the session B4.3.
ASTRODYNAMICS SYMPOSIUM This symposium addresses advances in orbital mechanics, attitude dynamics, guidance, navigation, and control of single or multi-spacecraft systems as well as space robotics.
MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES SYMPOSIUM This Symposium provides an international forum for recent advancements in assessment of the latest technology achievements on space structures, structural dynamics, and materials. The Symposium addresses the design and development of space vehicle structures and mechanical/thermal/fluidic systems. Future advances in a number of space systems applications for space power, space transportation, astrodynamics, space exploration, space propulsion, and space station will depend increasingly on the successful application of innovative materials and the development of structural concepts - particularly those relating to very large deployable (and assembled) space structures. For these applications to occur, increased interaction between these technology communities, and collaboration among technologists and mission planners needs to be pursued. Substantial improvements are essential in a wide range of current technologies, including nanotechnologies, to reduce projected costs and increase potential scientific returns from respective mission system applications. Papers in this symposium will review the projected advances in materials and space structures in this domain for advanced space systems applications.
SPACE POWER SYMPOSIUM The successful future exploration and development of space depends on the research into and deployment of new, more affordable and more reliable energy sources of diverse types ranging from the very small to the extraordinarily large. Moreover, the continuing support of government- sponsored space activities by the public will require that these activities serve human needs in obvious ways. One visionary way to achieve the latter goal is to provide non-polluting, economical power to the Earth from space. The Space Power Symposium will thus address space power systems for use in space and on Earth. It will include topics such as nuclear systems for spacecraft power and propulsion; systems using solar energy; and matters of storage, energy management, conversion, transmission and distribution. The Symposium will also examine the prospects for using space-based energy on the Earth and the use of key enabling technologies such as wireless power transmission for both space and terrestrial applications. The preliminary results of the IAA study on solar energy from space will be presented.
SPACE PROPULSION SYMPOSIUM Propose, report on and include all propulsion systems, including those for Earth-to-orbit, orbital control and interplanetary missions.
SPACE SYSTEMS SYMPOSIUM Innovative Space Systems for Future and Current Missions and Applications.
SPACE TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS AND INNOVATIONS Topics should address worldwide space transportation solutions and innovations. The goal is to foster understanding and cooperation amongst the world’s space-faring organizations.
SYMPOSIUM ON STEPPING STONES TO THE FUTURE: STRATEGIES, ARCHITECTURES, CONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGIES This 8th Symposium is organized by the International Academy of Astronautics. The international discussion of future directions for space exploration and utilization is fully underway, including activities involving all major space-faring nations. Decisions are now being made that will set the course for space activities for many years to come. New approaches are needed that establish strategies, architectures, concepts and technologies that will lead to sustainable human and robotic space exploration and utilization during the coming decades. This Symposium will examine the possible paths, beginning with current capabilities such as the International Space Station, which may lead to ambitious future opportunities for space exploration, discovery and benefits.
SYMPOSIUM ON VISIONS AND STRATEGIES FOR FAR FUTURES This 7th Symposium organized by the International Academy of Astronautics deals with concepts for the far future exploration of outer space.
