25 Years of the International Space Station - Reflections and Looking to the Future

Time: 10:15 - 11:25
Room: C4.4

This session will be an extraordinary opportunity to reflect on the International Space Station project - from its conception in the 1980s to its 25 years of continuous occupation. We will bring together agency administrators, ISS astronauts and cosmonauts, scientists, and other veterans of ISS operations to discuss how the space station came to be, what working on it has been like, and what lessons can be learned for future generations of space habitats.
