Location: Grand Ballroom, India International Convention & Expo Centre (IICC) - Yashoboomi
From the iconic International Space Station (ISS) to China’s Tiangong and the next generation of private orbital platforms, space stations have evolved from research outposts into dynamic hubs for space exploration and commerce. Today, they not only support scientific advancements but also enable commercial ventures such as zero-gravity manufacturing, pharmaceutical research, and space tourism.
With modular designs and private-sector collaboration, these stations are becoming more accessible, offering dedicated research slots, media studios, and even microgravity hotels for global clients. As low Earth orbit transforms into a thriving economic zone, sustainability and profitability remain key priorities. At the same time, these platforms serve as stepping stones for deep-space missions, fostering international cooperation and technological innovation.
Join us for an exemplary discussion on the evolution of space stations and the exciting future of orbital infrastructure.
