Uniting
the Aerospace Community
Regulators,
industry, and service providers all have different objectives in the realm of
space. However, they all share a common objective vis-à-vis the
commercialization of outer space, and all stakeholders need to come together
to realize this. This session will provide a forum for exchanging the various
points-of-view, as well as discussing lessons learnt from aviation’s 100
years of experience.
