SYMPOSIUM DATES AND LOCATION
After the success of the previous six Symposiums on Realistic Near-term Advanced Scientific Space Missions, organized by the International Academy of Astronautics and Politecnico di Torino which were held in Torino in June 1996 and in Aosta in July 1998, 2000, 2005, 2007 and 2009, a new four-days International Symposium on Outer- and Extra-Solar Missions will be organized in Aosta in July 2011. Local supporting organization will be the Department of Mechanics of the Politecnico (Engineering School) of Turin. The Symposium will be held in Aosta, from 11 to 14 July 2011.
SYMPOSIUM GOALS
The goals of this new symposium on deep space missions are more ambitious than ever. Thanks to a renewed commitment of the International Academy of Astronautics, the areas of interest have been widened and a larger attendance is expected. To allow all authors to present their papers at ease the symposium will be longer, with the possibility of presenting some papers in parallel sessions, if needed.
The aim is to promote an exchange of ideas and experiences among those interested in the various scientific and technological aspects of outer solar system and interstellar exploration and to propose new missions.
Papers regarding the motivations and human aspect of deep space exploration are welcome, and papers dealing with advanced concepts and new ideas are encouraged.
Special results from this sixth symposium are intended to be submitted to the leading Space Agencies as Proposals for space missions to the outer Solar System and beyond which are feasible within near term technology.
SUPPORT TO PARTCIPANTS
The International Academy of Astronautics will provide a number of scholarships, covering mainly registration fees and luncheons for participants and speakers who have financial difficulties in attending such as for instance from African countries.
AREAS OF INTEREST
Scientific objectives and payload requirements
Present outgoing missions (Cassini, Rosetta, Voyager, etc.)
