Presentation
Evaluating International Collaboration for Human Exploration Beyond LEO
IAA Space Exploration Conference: Planetary Robotic and Human Spaceflight Exploration
(2014)
Abstract
Over 50 governments, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, and private institutions are
directly involved in space activities. These actors have different rationales for pursuing space-related activities and
can play complementary roles in achieving ambitious space exploration efforts, which are increasingly cost-prohibitive for individual actors. Given this context, a multi-national and multi-cultural team with expertise in
different fields of space exploration, led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Skolkovo Institute of
Science and Technology, developed a framework for evaluating sustainable international space exploration
endeavors.
