12th IAA Symposium on Future Space Exploration

12th IAA Symposium on Future Space Exploration

9 -11 June 2025, Torino

A new three-days International Symposium on the future of Space Exploration will be organized by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) and the Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIDAA). The symposium will be held at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, on 9-11 June 2025.
The International Academy of Astronautics has been fostering global cooperation in human and robotic space exploration for more than five decades. With the return to the Moon already started with robotics spacecraft and with humans in the next few years, planning for exploration beyond LEO is becoming finally a reality, while it is expected that the world’s space agencies will leave much of the work in LEO to private organizations.
With the support of AIDAA, the goals of this new Symposium are to present the final results of IAA activities related to programs beyond LEO, beginning with the Moon Village vision. The Moon Village is considered the next logical step for humans beyond LEO and a stepping stone for Mars exploration and other interplanetary journeys.
The aim is to promote an exchange of ideas and experiences, within the space community, discussing the activities presented, and proposing new concrete global space exploration activities involving established and emerging space agencies and industries.
Special effort will be devoted to involve young professionals and new space start-up companies, making the symposium a forum for fostering new initiatives.
Papers related to technology, science, programmatics, economics, ethical and cultural aspects of exploration will be accepted.
