The conference is also a forum to promote mutual understanding, trust and the widest possible international cooperation in such matters. The once exclusive ℓ́ℓclubℓ́ℓ of nations with autonomous sub-orbital and orbital space access capabilities is becoming crowded with fresh and ambitious new entrants. New commercial spaceports are starting operations and others are being built. In the manned spaceflight arena a commercial market is becoming a tangible reality with suborbital spaceflights and government use of commercial services for cargo and crew transportation to orbit. Besides the national ambitions in space, the international cooperation both civil and commercial is also gaining momentum. In the meantime robotic space exploration will accelerate and with it the need to internationally better regulate the usage of nuclear power sources. Space-bound systems and aviation traffic will share more and more a crowded airspace, while aviation will increasingly rely on space-based safety-critical services. Finally, most nations own nowadays space assets, mainly satellites of various kinds and purposes, which are under the constant threat of collision with other spacecraft and with the ever increasing number of space debris. Awareness is increasing internationally (as solemnly declared since decades in space treaties) that space is a mankind asset and that we all have the duty of caring for it. Without proactive and courageous international initiatives to organize space, we risk to negate access and use of space to future generations Analysis engineering ruimtevlucht space flight kwaliteitscontroles quality controls ruimtewetenschap space science Engineering (General) Techniek (algemeen) Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 10, 2015) In Springer eBooks Subject Astronautics -- Safety measures -- Congresses Space vehicles -- Safety measures -- Congresses Space flight -- Safety measures -- Congresses Risk management -- Congresses Risk assessment -- Congresses Space debris -- Congresses Engineering.
