The event was held within the UN Space Week and brought together more than 200 participants - scientists, developers and sociologists from the CIS states, as well as other European and Asian countries. Over 1,000 people joined to the online broadcast.
Maryina Gorka hosted the VI International Scientific and Technical Conference “Non-Rocket Near Space Industrialization: Problems, Ideas, Projects” (NRNSI 2023) on the 7th and 8th of October. There were 17 presentations, 4 discussions, showcase of the latest developments in space exploration, hyper-speed transport and biotechnology during the forum.
This year the conference was attended by representatives of the Agency for Space Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, the “Aerospace Technologies” Scientific and Educational Center of the South Ural State University, the Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering and State Corporation Roscosmos, UNIDO Center for International Industrial Cooperation in the Russian Federation and other international entities.
“The issues of non-rocket space exploration are even more relevant today than in the distant 1988, when I held the first conference. I see my ideas getting more and more public support over time, and every year we bring together new international participants”, — Anatoli Unitsky noted.
In his Plenary Report “Engenium”, the General Designer of UST Inc. proposed the solution to modern problems through the engineering restructuring of four key sectors: transport, urbanism, energy and agriculture.
In addition, the World Engineer presented to the audience his technological solution for the near space exploration - a General Planetary Vehicle (GPV); its takeoff and landing platform will cover the planet along the equator, including in the ocean zones. The technology will help to provide cargo and passenger transportation at minimum cost and to bring industrial enterprises into Earth orbit.
A collection of scientific reports will be prepared as a result of this international conference.
