IAC draws its highest-ever number of technical papers
MILAN - The world's space agencies are meeting in Milan this week as geopolitical rivalry fuels a new global race in Earth's orbit and on the moon, with heavy involvement from a private sector toiling to keep pace with Elon Musk's dominant Space X.
Still, nearly all of the 77 member countries of the International Astronautical Federation , the non-profit that organises IAC, have turned out for talks on what attendees expect will touch heavily on lunar exploration, NASA's growing coalition of countries under its Artemis moon programme and Europe's pressing need for more sovereign access to space.
The more than two-decade old orbiting science laboratory has been a symbol of space diplomacy led primarily by the U.S. and Russia, despite conflicts on Earth. Malaysia is particularly hard hit, as two sources told Reuters more than 700 jobs were slashed in the country. "These rules gives the national ecosystem guidance on how to reach our objectives and grant the use of space in a sustainable and useful way," Italy's Industry Minister Adolfo Urso said on Sunday.
Musk's SpaceX and its workhorse Falcon 9 is relied upon by much of the Western world for accessing space, driving countries - including the U.S. - to encourage new space upstarts that can offer more affordable rockets. And SpaceX's growing Starlink internet network has made the company the world's largest satellite operator.
Italy's Leonardo one of the hosts of the week-long event, has called for a new strategy for the space sector embracing its French joint venture partner Thales and their main rival in satellite manufacturing, Airbus.
