Recognizing the importance of delivering value to people on Earth, agencies participating in the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) conducted a dialog to share their views and lessons learned on the nature and significance of the benefits resulting from space exploration. The resulting paper describes the fundamental benefits that are expected to flow from continued investment in the missions and activities described in the Global Exploration Roadmap. While not intended as the final word on exploration's societal relevance, the paper reflects the strong commitment by space agencies to deliver benefits to society.Just Released: Global Exploration Roadmap Update
NASA and 11 other ISECG member agencies have released an update to the 2011 Global Exploration Roadmap. The updated document reflects ongoing dialog and continued preparation for exploration beyond low-Earth orbit – beginning with the International Space Station (ISS) and expanding human presence throughout the solar system, leading to human missions to the surface of Mars.
The GER highlights the critical role of the International Space Station in preparing for deep-space exploration. It also demonstrates that the global community is working together on a space exploration strategic plan, with robotic and human missions to destinations that include near-Earth asteroids, the Moon and Mars.
Comments welcome! NASA is interested in obtaining feedback on the Global Exploration Roadmap. You are invited to submit your comments to:
About the International Space Exploration Coordination Group
Together with 13 other space agencies, NASA participates in the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) to advance a long-range human space exploration strategy.
The ISECG is a voluntary, non-binding international coordination mechanism through which individual agencies may exchange information regarding interests, objectives, and plans in space exploration with the goal of strengthening both individual exploration programs as well as the collective effort.
ISECG was established in response to "The Global Exploration Strategy: The Framework for Coordination," developed by fourteen space agencies and released in May 2007. This GES Framework Document articulated a shared vision of coordinated human and robotic space exploration focused on Solar System destinations where humans may one day live and work.
The following space agencies are ISECG members (in alphabetical order):
ASI (Italy),
CNES (France),
CNSA (China),
CSA (Canada),
CSIRO (Australia),
DLR (Germany),
ESA (European Space Agency),
ISRO (India),
JAXA (Japan),
KARI (Republic of Korea),
NASA (United States of America),
NSAU (Ukraine), Roscosmos (Russia),
UKSA (United Kingdom).
International Partnership Releases Space Exploration Benefits Paper
NASA and the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) released a white paper Friday outlining benefits of human exploration of space.
The document, titled "Benefits Stemming from Space Exploration," is the culmination of a dialog between space agencies participating in the ISECG. The goal was to share their views and lessons learned on the nature and significance of benefits resulting from space exploration. The paper describes the fundamental benefits that are expected to flow from continued investment in the missions and activities described in the Global Exploration Roadmap, which was released on Aug. 20.
Although not intended to be a definitive statement on exploration's relevance to society, the paper reflects the strong commitment by space agencies to deliver benefits to everyone on Earth.
The paper outlines the collective benefits of space exploration, including expanding our scientific knowledge, inspiring people around the world, and forging agreements and cooperation between the countries engaged in the peaceful exploration of space. The paper stresses human exploration's effects on enhancing our quality of life by improving economic prosperity, health, environmental quality, safety and security. The paper also highlights the equally important ability for exploration to provide a better understanding and new perspectives on our individual and collective place in the universe.
The International Space Station is demonstrating many of these benefits today. The orbiting laboratory is the first step in the future exploration framework described in the Global Exploration Roadmap. The benefits described in this paper provide some of the rationale for the nations wishing to pursue the activities highlighted in the roadmap.
