“This Framework for Coordination of the Global Exploration Strategy presents a vision of tomorrow in which the human frontiers are permanently expanded into the solar system, inspiring generations of humanity to come. It foresees how the robotic and human space exploration efforts undertaken by many nations, working individually and in partnership, could be coordinated to maximise the long-term benefits for all humanity.”

Space exploration is driven by
• human civilization: extending human presence to other planets to enable eventual settlement;
• scientific knowledge: pursuing scientific activities that address fundamental questions about the history of Earth, the solar system, and the universe – and about our place in them;
• global partnerships: providing a challenging, shared, and peaceful activity that unites nations in pursuit of common objectives;
• economic expansion: expanding Earth’s economic sphere and conducting space activities that benefit life on the home planet; and
• public engagement: using a vibrant space exploration programme to engage the public, encourage students and help develop the high-tech workforce required to address the challenges of tomorrow.

“Human and robotic exploration of the Moon, asteroids, and Mars will strengthen and enrich humanity’s future, bringing nations together in a common cause, revealing new knowledge, inspiring people and stimulating technical and commercial innovation….”

The ‘Lucca’ Political ProcessThird International Conference on Space Exploration, Lucca, 10 November 2011
41 countries: ESA and EU member states, plus 12 others (Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Israel, Japan, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Ukraine, USA).
Lucca Declaration: “The government representatives in Lucca committed to begin the open structured high-level policy dialogue on space exploration at the government level for the benefit of humankind.”

Ultimately, the Global Exploration Strategy matters because Planet Earth needs and deserves a
unified space programme

Maintaining the momentum:
Ensure that the GES is more widely known about by potential beneficiaries (science
and industry) and by the wider public
Ensure that UKSA are made aware that the UK space community
considers it to be important
(UK)SEDS and Space Generation Advisory
Council can playan important
role
