During the event, a representative from Astroengineering Technologies LLC presented innovative concepts for non-rocket space exploration, introducing a General Planetary Vehicle — a geospace aircraft powered by electricity that can carry up to 10 million tons of cargo and transport up to 10 million passengers into orbit in a single flight. This technology was developed by engineer Anatoli Unitsky.

The project attracted considerable attention from the scientific community, notably from NASA representative Dr. Aaron Weaver, Deputy Chief of the Space Technology Project Office at the Glenn Research Center, and a key expert involved in the Artemis lunar exploration program.

The scientific and technological viability of the uSpace program was underscored when Astroengineering Technologies LLC, established by Anatoli Unitsky, became a member of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). It is the first Belarusian organization to achieve such status.

Astroengineering Technologies LLC coordinates scientific research and engineering developments across various fields, including space, technology, energy, and biology, while also fostering international cooperation aimed at the practical implementation of non-rocket industrialization of near space through the uSpace initiative.

The company's entry into the IAF opens up new opportunities for the project: access to major international space sites, cooperation with leading space agencies, scientific institutes, and corporations worldwide.

"The program will enable the industrial development of near space, including the establishment of biospheric space settlements and the introduction of new methods for energy and material production in zero gravity. Today, uSpace is receiving increasing support from governmental and international institutions. Astroengineering Technologies LLC's membership in the IAF demonstrates the growing interest in our technologies from the global space community," commented Anatoli Unitsky.
