NASA Artemis Findings AI Mars Research Highlight Space Congress in Türkiye
(MENAFN) The 77th International Astronautical Congress enters its third day Wednesday in Antalya with a packed program featuring NASA’s preliminary Artemis II findings, artificial intelligence applications for Mars missions and a new cooperation agreement involving Japan’s space sector.
NASA is expected to unveil the first comprehensive collection of preliminary lunar science findings from the Artemis II mission during an afternoon session. The release will include scientific data, images, audio material and other resources gathered during the mission.
Earlier in the day, NASA Deputy Administrator Matt Anderson and Maj. Gen. Roberto Melgar Sheen, director of Peru’s space agency, are scheduled to brief journalists following the fifth annual Artemis Accords Principals’ Meeting.
The United States and Peru are co-hosting the meeting, which is focused on recent developments under the Artemis Accords as well as commitments aimed at promoting safe, transparent and sustainable exploration beyond Earth.
Artificial intelligence will also feature prominently in Wednesday’s program. NASA researcher Steve Chien is scheduled to discuss the use of trusted AI technologies for future Mars missions, highlighting the growing role of advanced computing systems in planetary exploration.
The congress will also examine Europe’s future exploration ambitions, while another session will focus on emerging orbital infrastructure and how the space industry is preparing for the period following the International Space Station era.
Türkiye’s own lunar exploration plans are set to receive significant attention during the afternoon program. TUBITAK UZAY is scheduled to present plans for what it describes as the world’s first Lunar Water Lifecycle Observatory.
The Turkish mission is planned for launch in early 2027 and will investigate processes associated with water on the Moon, contributing to efforts to better understand the availability and behavior of lunar resources.
Space governance will also feature in the discussions, with a session examining Hong Kong’s expanding role in the international space sector.
The session will address issues including governance, scientific research, talent development and commercialization, while considering how Hong Kong could contribute to the rapidly developing global space economy.
Later Wednesday, the International Astronautical Federation and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency are expected to sign an agreement formally confirming Japan as the host of the 2028 Global Space Exploration Conference.
The event is scheduled to take place from May 16 to 18, 2028, marking another step in Japan’s involvement in international space exploration activities.
Other sessions throughout the third day will cover a wide range of emerging technologies and challenges. Topics include nuclear propulsion systems for future missions, planetary defense exercises based on simulated space crises and the use of satellite resources to strengthen disaster response capabilities.
The five-day International Astronautical Congress is bringing together senior space agency officials, astronauts, scientists, researchers and industry representatives from more than 100 countries.
The annual event is regarded as the world’s largest gathering dedicated to the space sector. It is organized by the International Astronautical Federation and hosted by the Turkish Space Agency, with SAHA Istanbul serving as co-host.
The broad agenda reflects the growing scope of the global space industry, extending from lunar and planetary exploration to artificial intelligence, orbital infrastructure, space governance, disaster management and commercial opportunities.
