The Opening Ceremony of the Congress was held in the Conference Hall. Members of the top management of Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation, Moscow Government, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russian Academy of Engineering, NASA, European Space Agency (ESA), Yu.A. Gagarin Research & Test Cosmonaut Training Centre, Russian and foreign companies, organizations and ministries, famous Russian and foreign scientists, astronauts and cosmonauts took part in the Opening Ceremony of the Congress and addressed with greetings to participants.
The Program of the Congress estimated 9 plenary lectures, 21 sections with 495 reports and 3 panel discussions.
In plenary lectures that were presented by heads of Korolev Co. “Energia” (V.A. Lopota), TsNIIMash (G.G. Rajkunov et al.), Khrunichev Space Center (V.E. Nesterov et al.), NASA (Michael Surber), ESA (Rene Pischel), National Space Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan (T.A. Musabaev), a detailed analysis of the modern state of theory and practice of the space research was given and plan of the aerospace branch development in various countries for the nearest future and in the long term was discussed. The plenary lecture on behalf of Gagarin Cosmonaut Center “Current issues of cosmonauts’ professional activity (selection, preparation, space flight, post-flight rehabilitation)” (S.K. Krikalev et al.) highlighted issues that were named in the title and gave rise to the work of the 21st section and the panel discussion on the same topic.
V.P. Savinykh and V.A. Malinnikov, executives of Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography, delivered results of space monitoring of northern territories of Russia and pointed out current issues related to the changes of terrain, ice and water surface areas. The report made by V.A. Frolov, rector of “MATI” – Tsiolkovsky Russian State Technological University – was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the University.
