09:05	NASA Keynote Address: Artemis And Beyond – Advances In Lunar Exploration Technologies And Mars Exploration Future Plans
	NASA’s next crewed mission to the moon, Project Artemis, will not be a short visit like the 1969 Apollo landing. There will be multiple visits followed by a permanent presence on the moon, which will then be used as a gateway to get humans to Mars. The scene for long-term human habitation in space is now set. Achieving the goals of a long-term lunar surface presence beyond the 2024 mission and the first human mission to the surface of Mars Involving the private industry at all stages and lots of international co-operation NASA’s goal to have the first woman on the upcoming Artemis mission to the moon

15:00	Long-Term Life Support For Survival In Space And On The Moon
	• NASA’s next trip to the moon will be based on research done in South Australia — such as mining ice and metals from asteroids and the lunar surface. Working out how to mine lunar ice to sustain human life and to power rockets are a priority in South Australia, along with mining metals from the moon and asteroids. The top priority at this point is water. Water as an energy source but also for drinking. Water molecules can be split to create hydrogen, which can be used as a rocket fuel. The discovery of water at the polar caps has been a huge surprise for scientists, and makes living on the surface much easier than was envisaged in the past. The next step will be space farming. Astronauts will have to have something to eat if they are going to live there. • The next space revolution rests on the ability to produce materials and structures in space. Transporting resources into space is not viable for long-term space exploration, as mission payload costs are thousands of dollars per kilogram. There is an urgent need to find viable solutions to locating, extracting and processing resources where they are found and doing so in a sustainable way.

12:00	Global Space & Aeronautical Panel Discussion:
	Why Australia & the Asia Pacific will be a prime location for space tech to flourish? NASA collaboration with other international space agencies and satellite players, going forward. Where are the new international collaboration partnership opportunities? Developing and Consolidating your National Space Strategy Project Updates and New Perspectives from Space Agencies from North America, Europe, Asia, Russia, the Middle East As satellites have downsized, launching them into space has never been more economically viable, bringing big benefits for business. The 14.2 billion connected things used in 2019 will soar to 25 billion by 2021. Getting the data from IoT sensors requires it to be sent over a communications network. This could be a relatively low-cost, earthbound LoRa (long range) wireless network, or 5G mobile networks such as those being rolled out across Australia, through to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) networks, which rely on satellites orbiting 200km–1000km above the Earth’s surface that can collect information from anywhere on land or at sea. Satellites have reduced in scale during the past two decades, and lightweight nanosatellites weigh between 1kg and 10kg — smaller CubeSats weigh around 1kg — meaning multiple devices can be launched economically from a single rocket. There are about 1100 nanosatellites and 1000 CubeSats currently orbiting the Earth. Applying Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques in space exploration and geo-spatial data Deploying new robotics in space Training new astronauts for new lunar and Mars missions Long-term vision for space travel and addressing safety concerns Building a Mars Habitat New hypersonic propulsion in space and missile development Meeting the supply of Krypton & Liquid H2 as fuels for future space launches. Can Australian miners and H2 suppliers meet the challenge?

TIME	AGENDA
	Site Tour 1: Site Visit To University Of Adelaide Centre For Sustainable Planetary And Space Resources

	Site Visit to University of Adelaide Centre for Sustainable Planetary and Space Resources to learn how the Centre embark on research projects for long-term life support for survival in space and on the moon. The Centre for Sustainable Planetary and Space Resources brings together the University of Adelaide’s collective exploration, mining, manufacturing and engineering research strengths to address the challenges faced by long term planetary exploration, while ensuring the near-term application here on Earth. The In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) concept, as pioneered by NASA, looks to address space exploration’s historic reliance on Earth-based materials by proposing an off-world, self-contained resource chain covering the exploration, extraction and utilisation of space-based resources in support of new long-term crewed exploration missions.
	Site Tour 2: Site Visit To A Space Research Facility And CubeSat Manufacturing Facility In Adelaide

	Programmed to work alongside humans and take on dull, repetitive and even dangerous tasks with total accuracy, collaborative robots are delivering enormous productivity boosts at highly competitive prices for many businesses in labor-scarce industries. Reports show some cobots can cost 5x less than traditional industrial robots, thanks to quick integration and built-in safety features that eliminate the need for costly safety add-ons. Witness these smart machines in action for yourself in this visit to Mobile Automation’s Technology Center in Melbourne, where you will be treated to a showcase of various cobot models, their capabilities, and their potential to revolutionize the factory floor and other areas.
