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
December 16th 2024: join the Space Renaissance Special Christmas meeting! 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
Abstract A space elevator connecting a sea-based platform on Earth with a space anchor in geosynchronous orbit is the inevitable solution for sustainable space lift and an equitable space economy. The realities of the "rocket equation" mean that cargo will always be prohibitively expensive to lift out of the gravity well, limiting the scope of Read More
Abstract (Re-)entry represents one of the most critical phases for space exploration missions. The safety of the expensive payload and/or human crew strongly depends on the spacecraft survival to the harsh conditions which are experienced during the hypersonic descent into the target planetary atmosphere, involving high thermal loads on the vehicle surface. In addition, at Read More
Abstract The space movement from 1923 to 1933 was primarily a cultural phenomenon in Germany during the Weimar Republic. Neither the universities nor industry recognized the potential of space travel at the time. Often ridiculed as dreamers, the space pioneers pursued their visionary goals, founded the famous "Verein für Raumschiffahrt" in 1927 and carried out Read More
Abstract The talk is focused on "Astropolitics: The Human Relationship to the Space Enterprise". In this context, an overview of how the on-going space revolution is essential to the future of humanity is discussed. This entails how the space revolution advances a connected worldview versus a disconnected one, and addresses energy and resources needed for Read More
