Have been participating in 16th European Space Conference in Brussels - strapline: “Meet the Leaders - Shape Europe’s Future”. Very inspiring experience. 2023 Seville Space summit seen as turning point heralding new era in which space threads society and recognising need for transformation of European space ecosystem for increased autonomy, agility, commercial success, sustainability. No shortage of leaders present - political, space (obvs ESA in force), industrial, banking / investment, think tanks. But notably the voice of science was muted. No active science leader on any of the main panels. Yet for 50y science - and the technology it has catalysed (and vice versa) - has underpinned the creation and evolution of the European space assets and capabilities upon which the new future will be built! But science excellence can be fragile - it needs to be nurtured, not taken for granted. Hence the commitment of the ESF European Space Sciences Committee to work hard over the next two years - with ESA and the Delgations - to seek to ensure a necessary uplift in science funding of the mandatory programme, and within the optional Earth Observation and Exploration programmes at CM25. Europe is at the forefront of space science. It’s an inspiration to young people and the public and of justifiable European pride. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of knowledge. It has paid off before and will do again! Read the ESSC report submitted at Seville which makes the case …

Looking forward to participating in the Space Resources Week 2024 (#SpaceResWeek 2024) between 25 and 27 March 2024 as a speaker at the panel "Legal and Regulatory Session: Towards the Future International Framework" to talk about regulating outer space as 'environment' and its implications for private actors. It is an honour to be a part of an incredible panel, expertly organized (and to be moderated) by the inimitable Dovile Matuleviciute of the Luxembourg Space Agency. Our panel description is as follows: "There is a need for national legal as well as international frameworks to regulate space resources activities involving a number of stakeholders which would promote peaceful, sustainable and responsible activities. The speakers will explore the ways for the better future international framework, already existing contributions, and the aspects that states shall consider when designing such framework. A multi-stakeholder composition of the session allows for a truly inclusive, diverse, and multilateral dialogue around the topic." #SpaceResWeek is organised by the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC), in collaboration with the European Space Agency - ESA, the Luxembourg Space Agency, and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). It has become the event of reference for the space resources community since its inauguration in 2018. A preliminary programme is available, and it is possible to participate in-person or online.

As the boundaries of Indian space exploration expand, a need is felt to consolidate the study of the origin and evolution of organic matter in space as one of the themes for future missions. Such an interdisciplinary theme would require special efforts to collate the expertise available across the country. A robust foundation in this direction was laid during the brainstorming session, "Origin of molecular life in space: new frontiers” held in February 2023 as part of NCAMP23. In continuation of these efforts, a three-day symposium on "Genesis and Evolution of Organics in Space" will be held at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram, from Jan 18-19, 2023 and at IIST, Thiruvananthapuram, on Jan 20, 2024. Experts from various sectors have been invited to provide valuable input for the roadmap to coordinate national research efforts in the study of organics in space. This also includes a proposal of space mission concepts to be presented to the Indian space agency in due course of time. The invited speakers will also include professionals who have previously worked on space missions in other countries and will be giving seminars regarding the obstacles they faced and their experience with space missions. The symposium will provide a collaborative platform for young faculty members in the Indian academia to develop research proposals in collaboration with national and international specialists, assisting them in securing funds and resources for coordinated research in this subject. #spacescience #lifeinSpace #spacemissions #satellitetechnology
