Czech Republic astronaut’s greeting
I am truly delighted to offer my best wishes to all participants of the 61st International Astronautical Congress (IAC)
in 2010.
When Prague last hosted this major event in 1977 only two superpowers – the former Soviet Union and the United
States of America – actively participated in human spaceflight. Nowadays space is a matter of truly international
cooperation –- and this is also thanks to the work of the International Astronautical Federation.
Today, the Czech Republic’s recent membership of the European Space Agency confirms again its place in the field
of research and space exploitation.
Since my own spaceflight more than 30 years ago in 1978, space activities have set a clear example of both the
necessity and what can be achieved through international cooperation.
From orbit, I saw our planet Earth with only its natural borders, such as rivers, mountains, seas and oceans. And I
believe that the 61st IAC will again contribute towards the fusing of political and cultural borders which so often
divide us.
I wish you a pleasant stay in Prague in 2010 and hope that its friendly environment and beauty will contribute to
the success of the Congress.
Vladimir Remek
Cosmonaut - Soyuz 28/Salyut 6 (March 1978)
Member of the European Parliament
Message from the President of the IAF
It is an honour and pleasure to welcome all potential participants to IAC 2010 in Prague, where we will celebrate
the 60th anniversary of the International Astronautical Federation.
Working with our colleagues in Korea we learned that in Asian philosophy the period of 60 years represents a cycle
of renewal – in human life, in nature, in history, and also in an international body like the IAF. In the past six decades
our community – and in parallel this organisation – has matured remarkably.
In the field of space science and technology, the transformation is dramatic. Sixty years ago space was in its infancy.
Its origin was based on the ideas of pioneers like Ziolkowski, Goddard or Oberth, and supported by military
incentives. The United States and USSR developed a monopoly, and the space race was largely a demonstration to
the rest of the world.
How things have changed! Most developing countries now not only benefit from a myriad of space applications,
but they have their own ambitious space programmes. There is a growing list of developing space nations in Asian,
Latin American and African countries, with their own space activities and agencies. Space has become a national
economic driver and exudes a widening influence on many country’s national politics.
Besides exciting developments on the Moon and the red planet Mars, space has become an essential part of
human life and welfare. Thankfully, space has also progressed from being overtly competitive and a potential
military battlefield, to an area of true international cooperation.
Over the same six decades, our Federation has changed remarkably. It has fulfilled its original role as a mediator
between the space powers and the rest of the world. It has contributed to a proliferation of knowledge and skills,
and to worldwide access to the benefits of space assets. Starting on 4 September 1951 with 10 founding members,
IAF now has more than 200 members from industry, agencies, societies, and research institutions, representing 50
nations.
Today, the Federation concentrates its activities on benefits to its members in terms of cooperation, knowledge
dissemination, and coordinating the utilisation of space systems for human development. IAF actively stimulates
the promotion of public awareness of space activities worldwide and helps to develop a highly motivated and
knowledgeable workforce for the ambitions of tomorrow.
Its annual congress, organised jointly with the sister organisations IAA and IISL, has become the premier global
space convention. Year by year it has grown in attractiveness, activity and value for its delegates. The upcoming
61st Congress in Prague will continue this development.
Join us in Prague and help us to develop an exciting future!
Berndt Feuerbacher
President, International Astronautical Federation

Message from the IPC Co-Chairs
We would like to invite you to participate in the 61st International Astronautical Congress (IAC), which will be held
in the very centre of Europe at historic Prague, capital of the Czech Republic.
The last IAC in this part of Europe took place in Budapest, Hungary, in 1983, and before that was held in Prague
for the first time in 1977. That 28th IAC was very successful, even though the atmosphere was quite different then
because of the Cold War.
Part of its success may be that Prague has a long history as an astronomical ‘refuge’. The skilful astronomical
observer Tycho Brahe and the great scientific mind Johannes Kepler were in Prague at the beginning of 17th
century, and Albert Einstein before the First World War.
From the very beginning of the Space Age, Czech and Slovak specialists have also cooperated internationally at
many levels in the fields of space research and technology.
It is our intention, as Co-Chairs of the International Programme Committee, to build on this tradition and to
encourage presentations of results, projects and ideas from the whole region of Central and Eastern Europe and, of
course, worldwide.
We are counting on your support in this complex task of preparing a high quality programme of the Congress. Of
course, whilst visiting Prague, you should also take the opportunity to walk through the city and witness its rich
history and architecture with your own eyes.
Petr Lála and Peter Martinez
IPC Co–Chairs
Message from the Local Organising Committee
On behalf of the Local Organising Committee and the Czech Space Office, I am honoured and pleased to invite you
to join us for the 61st International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Prague. The Congress is taking place under the
auspices of Václav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic.
The country ranks among the finer European centres of education and research since the Middle Ages – and
space research has not been omitted. The 40-year heritage of the Czech space achievements includes the flight of
cosmonaut Vladimir Remek in 1978, payloads and mechanical structures for interplanetary probes, satellites, orbital
stations and the construction of mini-satellites.
The IAC comes back into this geographical region of Central and Eastern Europe after a quarter of century. During
that time, countries in this part of Europe have been through dramatic period of history. Political, economical and
societal changes have essentially influenced all parts of life of their citizens.
Activities in space have been no exception. After slowing down the volume of space activities during the main
transition phase, the Czech Republic has gradually developed a new space infrastructure and became the 18th
member of the European Space Agency in 2008.
It is believed that the IAC will help to increase general awareness about space-related capacities and plans
of countries in this part of Europe and, at the same time, it will motivate and stimulate activity of new space
generation there.
We have chosen the focal theme of the Congress in Prague as ‘Space for human benefit and exploration’. On one
side, this reflects the permanent importance of practical applications of space to everyday life forcing many new
countries to form and develop their own space programmes. On the other side, it pays attention to mankind’s next
grand challenge – space exploration.
The IAC at Prague’s Congress Centre will provide another opportunity for representatives from political, industrial
and scientific sectors – together with members of the general public – to shape the future direction of space
exploration.
As the ambitions of space nations are becoming apparent, the countries are focusing on how their own space
exploration plans might integrate with global space endeavours and how they might collaborate with other
nations to develop a truly global space exploration strategy.
We believe that space exploration can inspire nations to work together for a common purpose. Our goal is that the
61st IAC in Prague eminently promotes that vision.
Once again, let me invite you for interesting and enjoyable September week in Prague.
Dr Jan Kolář
Chairman, LOC

The IAF – catalyst for space
After six decades the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) is stronger and has more members than ever
before. Its international sphere of influence continues to expand as it provides a unique forum in which space
agencies, governmental institutions, research centres and industries from all countries around the world meet to
exchange information and views on current and future space programmes and activities.
Some ask why was it called an ‘astronautical’ instead of ‘space’ federation? The reasons are historical because, at the
time of its creation, the over-riding interest centred on the science and technology of spaceflight. The main aim was
“to promote the development of interplanetary travel”.
There is a similar explanation for the use of the word ‘federation’ rather than ‘organisation’, the former more neatly
summarising the core purpose of the IAF as an international grouping of autonomous specialist organisations,
companies and countries coming together for a common purpose. All share a common view but approach from
many directions.
By organising the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC), and other meetings on specific subjects, the
IAF actively encourages the development of astronautics for peaceful purposes and supports the dissemination of
scientific and technical information related to space.
The IAC is also important because it promotes at a worldwide level the space programme and space interests of the
host country.
In addition, each IAC encourages economical and political development of the city where it is taking place, and
allows at the same time the international community to share and witness its cultural traditions.
The international, interdisciplinary and non-governmental nature of the IAF – which retains independent control
of its own internal affairs – allows different organisations, agencies and related industries to more easily share and
interchange information through events like the IAC.
If your company, agency or organisation is not yet an IAF member then you should think about joining us - some
200 members cannot be wrong!

The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA)
The Academy is an independent international community of leading experts committed to expanding the frontiers
of space, the newest realm of human activity. To foster the development of astronautics, the Academy undertakes
a number of activities, including the recognition of outstanding contributors through election and awards. It also
facilitates professional communication, develops and promotes new ideas and initiatives, engages the public, and
fosters a sense of community among the members. This is a unique non-governmental organization established in
1960 and recognized by the United Nations in 1996.
It is an honorary society with an action agenda (www.iaaweb.org). With 1200 elected members and corresponding
members from 80 nations, it works closely with space agencies, industry, the academic community and the
national science and engineering academies to determine needs and objectives and to help shape policy and
forge cooperation by means of studies, position papers, conferences and publications. The IAA published four
studies over the past five months and is engaged in the preparation of 35 studies (see http://iaaweb.org/content/
view/273/412/). The Academy publishes the journal Acta Astronautica containing refereed papers.
With its Program Committees and under the purview of its Scientific Activities Committee (SAC) the Academy
now organizes about 16 annual conferences and regional meetings focused on the development and promotion
of new initiatives (http://iaaweb.org/content/view/182/301/). The 2009 IAA program included the co-sponsored
Fifth European Conference on Space Debris, Darmstadt, Germany in April, the third IAA Space & Society conference
Dnepropetrovsk in April 2009, the second IAA Conference on Advanced Space Technologies for the Humankind
Prosperity, Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine in April 2009, the annual IAA regional meeting in Darmstadt, Germany in
April, the first IAA Planetary Defense conference, Granada, Spain in April, the 7th IAA Small Satellite for Earth
Observation, Berlin in May, the first IAA regional conference on space application for the user community in
Disaster Management and Sustainable Development in Africa, Yaoundé, Cameroon in May, the 17th IAA Human in
Space Symposium Moscow in June, the 6th Symposium on Realistic Near Term Advanced Space Missions, Aosta,
Italy, 6-10 July 2009, the IAA Regional Meeting in Japan, Tsukuba, 6 July, the 6th Low Cost Planetary Missions, Goa,
India, 31 August-4 September 2009, IAA co-sponsored United Nations Symposium on the Use of Small Satellites
Programs for Sustainable Development, Graz, Austria, 8-11 September, the first IAA Solar Power Satellite Workshop
(SPS 2009), Toronto, Canada, 8-11 September, the Academy Day, Daejon, 11 October, the First IAA Symposium on
Global Security of Humanity, Limassol, Cyprus, 2-4 November, the 3rd Regional Conference Space for Africa: Joint
Participation, Knowledge Development and Sharing, Abuja, Nigeria, 24-26 November 2009.
This activity also includes the traditional contribution to the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) where the
Academy sponsor and organize 11 Symposia as follows: the 38th IAA Symposium on the Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence (SETI), the joint IAA/IAF Symposium on Space Life Science, the 12th IAA Symposium on Human
Exploration of the Moon and Mars, the 7th IAA Symposium on Stepping Stones to the Future: Strategies,
Architectures, Concepts and Technologies, the 7th IAA Symposium on the Far Future: Renewed Visions, the 42nd
IAA Symposium on Safety and Quality in Space Activities, the 13th IAA Symposium on Small Satellite Missions,
the 11th UN/IA Workshop on Small Satellite at the Service of Developing Countries, the 22nd IAA Symposium on
Space Policy, Regulation and Economics, the 7th IAA Symposium on Space Debris, the 24th IAA/IISL Scientific Legal
Round Table: Assessing Commercial Human Spaceflight, the 20th IAA Symposium on Space Activities and Society.
The Academy also continues to enjoy its participation in the COSPAR Assemblies by sponsoring and co-sponsoring
symposia.
The value of the Academy derives from its members and the new Board of Trustees 2009-2011 with its new vicePresidents Dr Yannick d’Escatha (France), Dr Stanislav Konyukhov (Ukraine), Prof Hiroki Matsuo (Japan) and Prof. Liu
Jiuan (China). Although the IAA has many connections to these and other similar organizations, it is distinctive as
the only international Academy of elected members in broad area of astronautics and space. On the occasion of the
next COSPAR, there will be an Academy Day on 17 July 2010 in Bremen.

The International Institute of Space Law (IISL)
Space law is the area of law that encompasses national and international law governing activities in outer
space. The inception of the field of space law began with the launch in October 1957 of the world’s first artificial
satellite, the USSR’s Sputnik. Since then, space law has evolved and assumed more importance as humankind has
increasingly come to use and rely on space-based resources.
Founded in 1960, the International Institute of Space Law (IISL) is an independent non-governmental organisation
whose purposes and objectives include the cooperation with appropriate international organisations and national
institutions in the field of space law and the carrying out of tasks for fostering the development of space law. It
also includes the studies of legal and social science aspects of the exploration and use of outer space and the
holding of meetings, colloquia and competitions on juridical and social science aspects of space activities. The IISL
presently has individual and institutional elected members from over 40 countries, who are distinguished for their
contributions to space law development.
Since its inception, the IISL has held over 50 annual colloquia on space law at each International Astronautical
Congress. Authors may submit abstracts for the five space law sessions held throughout the week, whose themes
for 2010 can be found elsewhere in this announcement. During the IAC the IISL also co-organises annual ScientificLegal Roundtables with the International Academy of Astronautics, the 24th of which will be held in Prague in 2010
The IISL publishes papers presented at the Colloquium, along with various other materials, in its annual
“Proceedings of the International Institute of Space Law”, published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics.
The IISL is a Permanent Observer to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS).
The IISL presents reports on its activities to the Legal Subcommittee and contributes to the UN Highlights in
Space report. Each year, in cooperation with the European Centre for Space Law, the IISL organises a space law
symposium for the delegates and staff attending the annual session of the COPUOS Legal Subcommittee in Vienna,
Austria.
IISL regularly issues ‘Statements of the Board of Directors’, that have enabled the debate on legal issues, for instance
on the illegality of ‘real property rights’ on the Moon. The IISL wishes to address topics that are of real interest to all
space actors, and involve them in the discussions at our annual Colloquia during the IAC.
Since 1990, the IISL organises the annual Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition. A hypothetical
space law case is written by IISL members on invitation of the Organizing Committee established by the IISL
Board of Directors to manage the competition. Preliminary competitions are organized each spring in North
America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. The winning teams of the preliminaries meet in the final round held in
conjunction with the annual IISL Space Law Colloquium, which is judged by members of the International Court of
Justice. In 2010, the winners of the preliminaries will meet in Prague for the world finals of the 19th competition.

Introduction to the Technical Programme
Each Congress selects a theme based on proposals by the host country and its Local Organising Committee, which are discussed
and then approved by the IAF Bureau.
Astronautics involves many important aspects of evolution and the theme for IAC 2010 – ‘Space for human benefit and exploration’
– relates to both the immediate needs of our community and the host country. The theme shows a direction toward which all
congress efforts are expected to converge. The Opening Ceremony usually puts its largest focus on the theme and one of the
selection criteria of Plenary topics and Highlight Lectures is their relevance to the theme.
However, it is not always easy to match the technical sessions with the selected theme. Probably this is because of the nature of
technical sessions, which mostly deal with long-standing issues in their respective areas. And most importantly, the technical
sessions are the body that provides solutions to the themes, not only of the year’s selected one. However, some technical areas
might have topics that strongly lead to the realisation of the year’s theme. In such cases, the IPC is urged to organise special sessions
on those topics.

Long Term Scenarios for Human Lunar Presence
Many studies of human lunar return have been conducted in the 35 years since the first Apollo Moon landing. Utilization and colonization of the Moon will require that a long term,
sustainable strategy be developed – and followed. In addition, future lunar enterprise must be considered as part of an evolving space infrastructure that can utilize the goods and
services stemming from a lunar colony to enhance or enable ever more ambitious human and robotic space exploration goals. This session will address strategic aspects of political,
philosophical, legal and commercial “enablers”, including technological road maps and benefits to humanity that might result from human exploration and ultimately colonization. A goal
of the session is the advancement of a strategy leading toward self-supporting colonies.

Small Satellites Potential for Future Integrated Applications and Services
This session seeks contributions that address new satellite missions, instruments, lessons learned, or plans for future small satellites, instruments, or missions. Small satellite missions are
found in an ever widening range of disciplines – these missions cover the gamut from astronomy to earth sciences. Data from space missions are collected and distributed through space
and ground-based systems. The goal of an integrated system is to provide the right information at the right place and at the right time in a cost-effective manner. Including a spacebased element in an integrated application may enable that application, or even provide a unique and powerful enhancement to the services provided. Contributions that address the
need to go beyond the traditional mission oriented (or vertical) organization and provide a service that integrates information from ground and space-based sources (the horizontal or
distributed domain) are particularly encouraged. For general purposes, please refer to B5.

Hitchhiking to the Moon
The next few decades involve a dramatically increased interest in lunar exploration for the purpose of developing a permanent human and robotic presence on the Moon, both for
science and space exploration objectives. This renewed interest is broad and international, involving space agencies from the USA, Europe, China, India, Japan, Russia, Germany, UK, and
others. Recently, ISRO’s Chandrayaan spacecraft offered its platform as an opportunity to fly international instruments to the Moon; NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft
provided an opportunity for a secondary payload to the Moon, in the form of the LCROSS lunar impactor mission. In the future, it is expected that there will be more opportunities for
ride-sharing or secondary or tertiary payload opportunities to be flown to the Moon. This session provides a forum for the exchange of ideas for such small payloads to be demonstrated
at the Moon, by ‘Hitch-hiking a ride’ to the Moon. Examples of such payloads or missions include: micro-spacecraft orbiters, CubeSats, small probes, penetrators, micro-landers, hardlanders, micro-rovers, secondary payload surface science instruments, distributed network landers, and many more. The focus of this session is on mission concepts, technology readiness
and ride-sharing requirements.

MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES SYMPOSIUM
This Symposium provides an international forum for recent advancements in assessment of the latest technology achievements on space structures, structural dynamics, and
materials. The Symposium addresses the design and development of space vehicle structures and mechanical/thermal/fluidic systems. Future advances in a number of space
systems applications for space power, space transportation, astrodynamics, space exploration, space propulsion, and space station will depend increasingly on the successful
application of innovative materials and the development of structural concepts – particularly those relating to very large deployable (and assembled) space structures. For
these applications to occur, increased interaction between these technology communities, and collaboration among technologists and mission planners needs to be pursued.
Substantial improvements are essential in a wide range of current technologies, including nanotechnologies, to reduce projected costs and increase potential scientific returns
from respective mission system applications. Papers in this symposium will review the projected advances in materials and space structures in this domain for advanced space
systems applications.

SPACE POWER SYMPOSIUM
The successful future exploration and development of space depends on the research into and deployment of new, more affordable and more reliable energy sources of diverse
types ranging from the very small to the extraordinarily large. Moreover, the continuing support of government‐sponsored space activities by the public will require that these
activities serve human needs in obvious ways. One visionary way to achieve the latter goal is to provide non‐polluting, economical power to the Earth from space. The Space
Power Symposium will thus address space power systems for use in space and on Earth. It will include topics such as nuclear systems for spacecraft power and propulsion; systems
using solar energy; and matters of storage, energy management, conversion, transmission and distribution. The Symposium will also examine the prospects for using space‐based
energy on the Earth and the use of key enabling technologies such as wireless power transmission for both space and terrestrial applications. The preliminary results of the IAA
study on solar energy from space will be presented.

SYMPOSIUM ON STEPPING STONES TO THE FUTURE: STRATEGIES, ARCHITECTURES, CONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGIES
This 8th Symposium is organized by the International Academy of Astronautics. The international discussion of future directions for space exploration and utilization is fully
underway, including activities involving all major space-faring nations. Decisions are now being made that will set the course for space activities for many years to come. New
approaches are needed that establish strategies, architectures, concepts and technologies that will lead to sustainable human and robotic space exploration and utilization during
the coming decades. This Symposium will examine the possible paths, beginning with current capabilities such as the International Space Station, which may lead to ambitious
future opportunities for space exploration, discovery and benefits.

Strategies and Architectures to Establish a “Stepping Stone” Approach to our Future in Space
Future scenarios for sustainable space exploration and utilization will unfold in the context of global conditions that vary greatly from those of the 1950s-1970s. It is likely that spacefaring countries will pursue their goals and objectives in a step-wise fashion, rather than through massive, geo-politically driven programs (such as those that typified the Moon race of
the 1960s). As a result, it is important that the international community engage in an ongoing discussion of strategies to establish a “stepping stone” approach to our future in space. Such
a strategy should involve sustainable budget levels and multiple-purpose system-of-systems capabilities that lead to a diverse range of future activities of broad benefit to humanity and
would represent a substantial departure from past models for major space programs. Moreover, nearer term developments, such as those in the Earth’s neighborhood (e.g., in support of
the 2004 U.S. Vision for Space Exploration) should be structure to best support later evolution and reconfiguration to pursue still more ambitious missions – such as continuing robotic
exploration Mars and targets beyond, and the search for Earth-like planetar around nearby stars. This session will address strategies and approaches that may allow a new paradigm–a
“stepping stone” approach – to be established among the space-faring countries. Papers are solicited in these and related areas.

Novel Concepts and Technologies for the Exploration and Utilization of Space
In order to realize future, sustainable programs of space exploration and utilization, a focsed suite of transformational new systems concepts and supporting technologies must be
advanced during the coming decade. The technical objectives to be pursued should be drawn from a broad, forward looking view of the technologies and systems needed, but must
be sufficiently well focused to allow tangible progression – and dramatic improvements over current capabilities – to be realized in the foreseeable future. This session will address
cross cutting considerations in which a number of discipline research topics and/or technologies may be successful synthesized to enable a transformation new systems concept to be
achieved. Papers are solicited in these and related areas.

Infrastructures and Systems to Enable Ambitious Future Exploration and Utilization of Space
Although innovation systems concepts and technologies are critical to future space activities, these systems cannot succeed if they are used in “one-at-a-time” mission approaches.
Instead, the emergence of novel “system-of-systems” infrastructures will also be needed to enable ambitious scenarios for sustainable future space exploration and utilization. New,
reusable space infrastructures must emerge in various areas include the following: (1) infrastructures that enable affordable and reliable access to space for both exploration systems
and logistics; (2) infrastructures for affordable and reliable transportation in space, including access to/from lunar and planetary surfaces for crews, robotic and supporting systems and
logistics; (3) infrastructures that allow sustained, affordable and highly effective operations on the Moon, Mars and other destinations; and, (4) supporting in space infrastructures that
provide key services (such as communications, navigation, etc.). Papers are solicited in these and related areas.

Space Expectations: Involving the Public in Space Activities
Space activities have historically been based upon technological successes with science and exploration leading space activities toward major projects throughout the solar system.
However, periodic disconnects have occurred as the public used to seeing major successes suddenly sees failures and begins to question the value and cost of space initiatives. An
IAA-sponsored study to determine the depth of understanding and backing of space activities by the general public (in particularly young people) was recently completed. Following on
from sessions at previous IACs, papers are invited which review and describe society’s expectations from space programmes, ascertain how society – particularly youth – could become
more involved in space exploration, and indicate how space activities could maintain the interest and excitement of tomorrow’s youth and thus be supported (both financially and
intellectually) by the public..

Space Architecture: Exploration and Tourism
Space exploration, as we know it, used to be the forte of government space agencies. But that is set to change forever, in part because of the changing economic reality and in part due
to the entry of new private players vying to provide both private tourists and a paying government customer, rides on their spaceships. Take Bigelow, or Space-X, or Virgin Galactic, or any
of those new companies out there that have injected new life, even enthusiasm into the words EXPLORATION and TOURISM. These companies are developing a whole new generation of
rockets, habitable modules, cargo ferries and suborbital space planes. As the Shuttle gets ready to retire, it will see a new genre of human and cargo crafts that will take over and steer the
world into a new era in space exploration.
It is in this context that the role of Space Architecture and Design assumes greater meaning and significance. More than anybody else, it will be the private space tourists that will force
the tourism companies to hire the brightest and the best in the business of architecture and design. Unlike the astronauts, they have every right to be fussy and can and will complain
if the ride is a bad one. This will put habitability and human factors, even style, on top of the design agenda, on par with safety and survivability. Even human planetary exploration will
be changed forever by this transition. Many of the products and services required by government missions and crews on the surface of the Moon – and for testing activities in Earth
orbit – need not be developed by traditional government aerospace contracts. Re-supply of fuel, food, and other consumables, equipment maintenance, and other services could well be
provided by companies or other nations whose offerings cross over to commercial customers as well.
This session aims to provide a platform to present designs that will shape the look of future spacecraft that will lead us into a new age in exploration and tourism.

30 Years of the Moon Agreement: Perspectives
For this session, papers are invited to analytically address the future perspectives of the Moon Agreement, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2009. Papers may thus critically
analyse (a) recent developments in COPUOS, such as the 2008 ‘joint statement’ by several states parties on the benefits of adhering to the Agreement, (b) the future design, adoption and
implementation of an international regime to govern the exploitation of the natural resources of the celestial bodies ‘as such exploitation is about to become feasible’, (c) the reasons for
the timid support for the Agreement from the international community, and (d) issues concerning the protection of the Moon environment and of other celestial bodies. The question of
how exploitation of moon resources relates to the non-appropriation principle as well as the Common Heritage of Mankind principle may also be critically scrutinized.

Legal Aspects of Space Security
Recent anti-satellite tests and the EU Proposal for a Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities of December 2008 as well as other initiatives like the Russian-Chinese proposal for a treaty
demilitarizing outer space (‘Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, the Threat or Use Of Force Against Outer Space Objects’), together with the collision of
a Russian defunct satellite with an operational US Satellite in early 2009, sparked broad international debate amongst experts and decision-makers alike. Papers in this session are invited
to analyze the legal aspects related to the need for keeping space safe for civilian as well as military operations avoiding the weaponization of space at the same time. Papers are also
encouraged to address the most recent proposals in this context and to present ideas for the further development of space law addressed to the relevant international forums.

The Current Status of the Rule of Law with Regard to Space Activities
Since the adoption of the Moon Agreement in 1979, no other international treaties have been adopted in the United Nations. Rather, first a number of United Nations General Assembly
Resolutions on Direct Broadcasting Satellites, Remote Sensing, Nuclear Power Sources were adopted concerning certain areas of uses in outer space. Thereafter, other United Nations
General Assembly Resolutions served the purpose of making more concrete certain aspects of international space legislation, such as Article I paragraph 1 of the Outer Space Treaty with
the Space Benefits Declaration, or the notion of Launching State in the Liability Convention and the Registration Convention, etc. Against this background, in light of the most recent
development of the UN Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines, papers are invited to discuss the current status of the rule of law with regard to outer space activities. (Generally, the “rule of
law” means that the law must be prospective, well-known, and have characteristics of generality, equality, and certainty).

Recent Developments in Space Law
In this session, papers are invited to address legal aspects of the most recent developments in space activities that have taken place since the other session topics have been determined,
i.e. since March 2009 only. In addition, papers are invited to address two special issues. Firstly, this concerns the legal aspects of Solar Power Satellites. In this field several high-level
technical studies are currently conducted to assess whether such satellites can operate within the existing international regulatory regime and whether such regime is conducive to
this newest space application. Secondly, papers are invited to address the ongoing developments and progress in the context of international Intergovernmental agreements on space
cooperation and space activities, such as the Agreement on the International Space Station or agreements pertaining to international satellite organizations like ITSO, IMSO, EUTELSAT
IGO or ARABSAT.

Prague – a jewel in the heart of Europe
Prague is a glittering jewel of art and architecture nestling snugly at the heart of Europe. Home to emperors and
kings, artists and astronomers, this beautiful and fascinating city has worked its subtle magic on generations of
visitors, and lent inspiration to musicians and writers from Mozart to Dvorák and Kafka to Klíma.
The city is built on seven hills along the banks of the river Vltava and has been the focal point of Bohemia since the
9th century.
There are many historical buildings, palaces and churches, old lanes and beautiful gardens. Sometimes called the
‘Golden Prague’ or the ‘City of hundred spires’, Prague has been the residential town of the Bohemian kings for
several dynasties. It became the capital of Czechoslovakia in 1918 and has been the capital of the Czech Republic
since 1993.
The most important period in the development of the city was the reign of Charles IV, King of Bohemia and
Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, in the 15th century. It was then that the Charles bridge over the Vltava river
was built and Charles University, the oldest university in Central Europe, was founded.
Prague is among the most frequently visited cities in the world. But places of interest for tourists are not all in the
city itself - every part of Bohemia and Moravia has something to offer.
For some, it is old cathedrals and picturesque corners of historical towns, others value a silent mountain valley or
the mysterious atmosphere of romantic ruins and ancient castles.
The social life is rich too. Take, for example, the Bohemian and Moravian spas. Very famous is the so called ‘Bath
Triangle’ which consists of the world famous spas - Karlovy Vary, Marianske Lazne and Frantiskovy Lazne, visited by
many famous people past and present.
As well as its many cultural treasures, Prague offers another precious commodity – the liquid gold of Bohemian
beer. The Czechs have been brewing since at least the 9th century – they invented Pilsner, the world’s first clear,
golden lager, in 1842 - and Czech breweries still produce some of the world’s finest beers.
