The Annual International Mars Society Convention features plenary talks and panel discussions with top experts in Mars and space exploration, the commercial space industry, technological development, and space advocacy.
To give more enthusiastic professional & non-professional speakers a chance to participate, the Mars Society also includes 30-minute track talk presentations during afternoon sessions. This year’s event will showcase several dozen track talk speakers, such as:
– Angelina Tsuboi: Architecting Marsnet: Interplanetary Internet Design for Mars and Beyond
– Jay Garg: The Role of Biostimulants in Establishing Sustainable Agriculture on Mars
– Art Harman: Who’s Winning the Space Race to the Moon and Mars?
– Jude Egan: Legal Challenges for Martian Settlements: Toward a Martian Legal Regime
– Samantha Thompson: Robotics for Lunar & Mars Surface Operations
– Kent Nebergall: EVA Link for Mars Analog Communications
– Gillian Ashley: Weeds on Mars: Pioneering Advancements in Intersectional Planting Design from Earth to Mars
“These track talk presentations allow a diverse group of space enthusiasts to discuss exploring Mars, human spaceflight, the search for life in our solar system, and much more, providing our audience with insights into humanity’s future in space. We’re excited to have such a dynamic group of speakers involved,” said Michael Stoltz, Mars Society Director of Media & Public Relations.
