Approaches to Future Space Cooperation and Competition in a Globalizing World. Summary of a Workshop

摘要

The ad hoc Planning Committee for the Workshop on U.S. Civil Space Policy was set up under the auspices of the Space Studies Board, working in collaboration with the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board, to organize a public workshop for the purpose of reviewing past and present cooperation, coordination, and competition mechanisms for space and Earth science research and space exploration; identifying significant lessons learned; and discussing how those lessons could best be applied in the future, particularly in the areas of cooperation and collaboration. This report presents a summary of the discussions at the workshop and does not represent a consensus of the views of the workshop participants, but instead captures highlights of the discussions and notes major themes that emerged. While the workshops mandate covered both cooperation and competition, workshop discussions tended to focus more on cooperation.
