IAA

an independent international community

of 1200 active leading experts

(1700 from 89 nations)

recognized by the UN in 1996.

membership access based on highly

competitive election

Aims of IAA

• Foster the development of astronautics for peaceful purposes;

• Recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves in space science or technology;

• Provide a program through which members may contribute to international endeavors;

• Promote international cooperation in the advancement of aerospace science.

IAA leadership through

high ranking Board of Trustees

(11 Heads/former Heads of Space

Agencies)

Six commissions covering all aspects

of space activities,

Offers the missing fora where the best

experts in all domains can meet, know

each other and exchange their

opinions.

Small Satellites Concept (Bordeaux 1985)

In reaction to the large science programs

Introduce concept of

- 2 to 4 years of development

- Non expensive budgets

Inexpensive Scientific Satellite Missions:

-must fill the gaps between the major programs of

the great space agencies,

- be developed with short lead-times,

-rules of management and technical

implementation differ considerably from those

applied in the major programs.

Small Satellites Concept (Bordeaux 1985)

Advantages:

- Higher flight frequencies and shorter times in

implementing new technological developments

- Ideally lead-times should correspond with

educational cycle of space science

- For many countries, no other than "inexpensive"

satellites conceivable for budgetary constraints.

- Commonality between programs of such

nations and those which have the possibility of

sending man into space and explore planets.

Small Satellites an opportunity

• To do more with less.

• To meet local and global needs.

• To focus infrastructure development of

a country

• High education for science,

technology and management

• Greater involvement of local and small

industry,
