Technology Development and Utilization
AIAA is committed to developing new enabling technologies and supporting space and terrestrial infrastructure. Join us in July as we look at new cross-cutting technologies, capabilities, architectures, platforms, and tools that support a safe and persistent human and robotic space presence.
Looking Ahead
The Nexus of Space Technology Development and Infrastructure
As we venture into the cosmos, we face the immense task of developing the necessary infrastructure to support human presence in space, from habitats and life-support systems to reliable communication networks and propulsion technologies. Simultaneously, we encounter formidable challenges, including long-duration space travel, radiation exposure, and the need for sustainable resource management.
However, within these challenges lie extraordinary prospects, such as unlocking the potential for scientific discoveries, enabling groundbreaking space missions, fostering international collaboration, and paving the way for a multiplanetary future. Through innovation, perseverance, and a collective spirit, we can overcome these hurdles and embrace the extraordinary possibilities that space exploration and infrastructure offer for humanity’s expansion into the universe.
