| Description: | In the last 28 years, the International Space University (ISU) has been a leading institution for space education, forming international partnerships, and encouraging entrepreneurship in its over 4,000 alumni. In this report, Vision 2040 projects the next 25 years of space exploration and analyzes how ISU can remain a leading institution in the rapidly changing industry. Vision 2040 considered five important areas of the space sector: real-time Earth applications, orbital stations, lunar bases, lunar and asteroid mining, and a human presence on Mars. The team identified the signals of disruptive change within these scenarios, including underlying driving forces and potential challenges, and derived a set of skills that will be required in the future space industry. Using these skills as a starting point, the team proposed strategies in five areas of focus for ISU: the future of the Space Studies Program (SSP), analog missions, outreach, alumni, and startups. The report concludes that ISU could become not just an innovative educational institution, but one that acts as an international organization that drives space commercialization, exploration, innovation, and cooperation. |
