==================================================

The Many Pathways to Space invites the submission of abstracts addressing the scientific, technological, and strategic dimensions of space exploration and planetary resource utilization. The event provides an interdisciplinary forum to examine how diverse pathways, from space science missions to human exploration and space health to resource utilization, planetary defence, and cislunar operations, are shaping the future of space activities.

We welcome contributions from academia, industry, space agencies, and policy institutions presenting innovative research, scientific results and new development strategies enabling technologies, operational concepts, terrestrial–space synergies, and forward-looking perspectives supporting sustainable and resilient space exploration.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Human exploration and space health: Physical and psychological health, performance, and astronaut wellbeing
• Space resource utilisation: Exploration, processing, value chains and markets.
• Surficial, subterranean, and microgravity analogue environments: Validating technologies, operations, and human factors
• Planetary defence: Assessing risks and mitigation strategies
• Cislunar space: Developing operational and economic infrastructures.
• Aerospace technology: Advancing next-generation space systems
