Space Infrastructure Development

A permanent and scalable human and robotic presence in space depends on robust infrastructure in Earth orbit, on the lunar surface and cislunar space, and eventually on Mars and beyond. From communications networks and power systems to in-space servicing and orbital data centers, the development of this infrastructure is a defining challenge and opportunity of the coming decades.

Papers and session proposals are invited on the design, development, and deployment of infrastructure that enables sustained operations in space. Submissions from industry, government, and academia are encouraged.

Specific subtopics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Communications
• Imaging and remote sensing services
• In-space risk mitigation (e.g., space debris, orbital congestion, solar events)
• Lunar infrastructure development
• Mars infrastructure development
• Navigation
• Orbital data centers
• Robotics, mobility, and surface operations for space infrastructure
• Space architecture, stations, and habitats
• Space logistics, refueling, and ISAM
• Space power infrastructure
• Space resources utilization
• Other topics in space infrastructure development
