IPSI.1 Interdisciplinary Panel Science and Industry: Innovation, AI, Sustainable Solutions
This panel will be split into two main components:
1) Eric Smith (LMCO and Chair, COSPAR Panel on Innovative Solutions) will discuss the process for turning the attention of the brightest minds in the world toward problems rooted in technology, of interest to COSPAR researchers. This call to action for specific technical challenges will undoubtedly produce some fascinating and surprising approaches, and Eric will discuss selected projects in some depth.
2) Eric Smith will host a panel to discuss responsible permanent human presence on and around the moon. We must balance the need to preserve a pristine lunar environment with the realities of not only commercial investment required to make that presence a reality, but the scientific interest that in some cases involves disruption of the environment.
