Abstract Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) are abundant with minerals that would be undoubtedly beneficial for future space exploration, as the utilization of these in-space resources could enable otherwise unaffordable missions. However, retrieving these resources and making the missions profitable are challenging. This research will tell people which to mine, when to mine, how to retrieve, and Read More
Abstract In this presentation Dr. Hammond will begin with an overarching overview of the space exploration landscape from the 2020s to 2050 and beyond. An essential element of this landscape is a Moon-to-Mars Architecture which is promulgated and kept up to date by NASA. He will explain six key questions: Why we go, Who we Read More
Abstract Expanding Humanity to Outer Space (EHTOS) event program extends over the entire month of September 2024. It involves 2 days open to the public. The first day of the event which will be Saturday 31st of August, participant teams will introduce themselves and the mission statement will be revealed. Participating teams will work on Read More
Abstract In this presentation Dr. Ribeiro describes his proposal to recycle the International Space Station, instead of decommissioning it. An essential bio Dinis Afonso Ribeiro investigated connections between oceans and space exploration at the scientific and industrial levels focusing on novel ways to develop permanent human settlements. The ideas have been developed very gradually since Read More
Three teams, participating to the EHTOS context, will present their proposal for a spinning habitat for 100 inhabitants, located at a Moon-Earth Lagrange point. The best classified presented work wins a bursary to participate to the 2025 IAC In Sidney, Australia. Ghanim Alotaibi, organizer and manager of the program, will conduct the event online.

Abstract Cheryl was an early adopter of the "To The Moon" initiative by Copernic Space and Lifeship’s inclusive cultural and scientific assets, both libraries of work to be stored in specially radiation insulated time capsules on upcoming lunar lander missions. Both initiatives invited her to contribute creative content to their time capsules. This particular lunar Read More
Abstract This presentation will illustrate the work of the students of PoliArte on Fashion and Habitability for Space, the Moon, and Mars: A project on future Parastronaut Fashion based on gen AI. Co-authors: Schlacht I, Morelli E. (Jane), Masali M., Micheletti Cremasco M., Monina P., Pierlorenzi G., Nappo M., Vicini G., Students of the 3rd Read More
Abstract The 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations represent noble aspirations that would change the world, if achieved. In this webinar, the Human Space Program (HSP) team will discuss a proposed HSP simulation model, a computer-based tool for investigation of the implications of migration of human civilization into space. This model can Read More
Abstract Haroon Oqab will give us a detailed view of Kepler Space University. KSU is dedicated to the expansion of human civilization from Earth into space. We believe this is necessary, both to acquire resources – based on the Law of Space Abundance to provide the fundamental needs of preserving peace and prosperity for humankind Read More
Abstract The Off-world Anthropologic Space Infrastructure Settlement (OASIS) project systems engineering entails addressing the flow down of all mission/system-level requirements into every element and distributed system, orchestrating the overall design, and evaluating the efficacy of derived requirements implementation by testing, verification, and validation. Key Considerations include: Orchestrating Symbiosis: shared control between Humans, Robots, and Advanced Read More

Our president Prof. Bernard Foing, the SRI Board and all of our Members invite the Space Renaissance community to the last Party of 2024! We’ll announce the program of 2025, recall what we have made in 2024, what we have achieved and what not. The Read More
Abstract We don't know what gravity levels humans need for sustained good health. If Mars gravity is enough, we can settle there and become multiplanetary. But whatever gravity we need, we can also live in spinning facilities, in earth orbit and then in interplanetary space. We can test our response to Mars gravity by trying Read More
