Conference “Commercial Space Exploration and Travel – Chances and Risks”

The meeting “Commercial Space Exploration and Travel – Chances and Risks” organised by the EAI will take place at Malmfälten Adult Education Centre in Kiruna (Sweden ) from September 25th in the morning to September 27th in the evening. It will bring scientists, students, politicians, journalists and other stakeholders together to discuss the ethical, political legal, societal and environmental aspects of commercial space travel.

Apart from offering a very interesting programme, the meeting will take place during Lapland’s very beautiful Indian Summer, which enables good opportunities to see the Northern Lights. The following themes will be covered:

  • Legal, ethical and societal issues concerning commercial space exploration
  • Environmental issues concerning space exploration
  • Protection of extraterrestrial bodies
  • Spin-offs of scientific space exploration
  • International cooperation in the commercial use of space: will space exploration be restricted to a few powerful countries and regions?
  • Space research and exploration as a chance for remote regions in Europe
  • Global governance efforts regarding the commercial use of space
  • Mining of extraterrestrial bodies
  • The future of commercial space travel
