“Dare Mighty Things Together”

“KAI, Industry’s Role in Transforming Space Exploration into Space Economy”

“Multiplanetary Human Life Enabler”

This special panel discussion will present the high-level summary of the community-driven COSPAR Space-Weather Roadmap highlighting key recommendations across the areas of space-weather impacts, collaboration, future opportunities, and collaborative-working, both within COSPAR, and more globally. This special session is envisaged to have a number of panellists that contributed to the foundations of the updated roadmap as well as panellists representing national agencies and international organisations such as UNOOSA, WMO, and ISES. In addition, ideas and thoughts on achieving the outcomes and recommendations made in the roadmap will be covered in this special session to include the panel Q&A/discussions.

Broad topics for the panel discussion will include:

Lessons learned from broader community engagement in road mapping;
Increasing involvement of the wider community including citizen scientists in advancing space-weather capabilities; and
Strategically determining the focus areas for improved space-weather research and resilience at the local, national, regional, and global levels.

Join Dr. Nicky Fox, NASA Associate Administrator, Science Mission Directorate, and Mr. Andre’ Trotter, VP, Lockheed Martin Space as they discuss ongoing and future public-private partnerships that shape current and future NASA science missions. Speakers will discuss the future of NASA Science including Earth and climate science, astrophysics, heliophysics, planetary science, and biological and physical science in the context of a rapidly evolving space science landscape.

“Leveraging Psychological Safety as an IDEA Principle to Advance Scientific Discovery”

Join Leaders from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and other global experts on the necessity for creating psychologically safe environments to ensure inclusion and open scientific expression. Often our notions of the creation of science are based on the historic “Eureka” moments of a single brilliant individual, be it Einstein, Marie Curie, or Newton. In reality much of science is conducted in teams. And yet, academia does very little to prepare our scientists for team leadership. To create high functioning, high performing teams, a critical component is psychological safety, a term coined by Professor Amy Edmondson of Harvard Business School. Psychological safety occurs when all individuals in the team feel safe to take risks and speak up without fear of shame or reprisal. In space science, some of the biggest “fails” have occurred when there was low psychological safety and team members were afraid to speak up.

The IDEA panel at COSPAR will examine how organizations are working to cultivate psychological safety, how gender, cultural, and social identity differences affect psychological safety, and ways of overcoming those challenges.

“Space 2050 – Our Future Shaped by Today’s Space Technology Advances”

What will the future of space look like in 2050? What technologies will be required to enable future capabilities in space and how close are we to creating them? Lockheed Martin Vice President, Commercial Civil Space, shares a vision for the future of space and showcases key technologies being developing to expand space missions and humanity beyond our home world. The 2050 vision invites discussion about the future of space in five areas: a “smart” world enabled by ubiquitous communications, extraplanetary operations, space logistics, mission operations command utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning, and space defense to strengthen 21st Century Security. These areas dive deeper into dynamic mission environments and the emerging technological advancements necessary to operate productively and safely.
