Synopsis:

G. Haskell, Symposium Convenor & Vice President for Academic Services and Outreach, International Space University By taking "Space of Service to Humanity" as the theme for the inaugural event in its series of annual symposia, the International Space University (ISU) is asserting that this application of space technology requires special attention at this time. Future symposia will examine the issues of the day from different perspectives. In keeping with the fundamental principles of ISU, the symposium took a global perspective, as distinct from national or regional perspectives, and treated both technical and non-technical topics. Oral and poster presentations were delivered in the scientific, engineering, economic, legal, political and philosophical domains. All oral papers were delivered in plenary session to encourage cross­ fertilization between specialities, and posters were readily available for viewing throughout the three-day event. As an international and interdisciplinary forum for the sharing of experience and for discussion and debate, the symposium proved to be a stimulating and worthwhile event for the 135 participants from 25 countries and 5 international organizations with backgrounds in industry, government and academia.

Synopsis: This volume will appeal especially to those who wish to appreciate the breadth of space activities relevant to preserving the environment and to improving life on Earth for all humanity. A wide range of topics, including global concerns, Earth remote sensing, telecommunications and other space applications are examined from organizational, financial, technical and philosophical perspectives. A selection of papers which were presented at the first Annual Symposium organized by the International Space University is published here.
