NASA will take part in the 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), running from Monday, October 5, through Friday, October 9, in Antalya, Türkiye, the agency announced.
The congress, organized by the International Astronautical Federation, brings together space agencies, industry representatives and researchers from around the world to discuss the future of space exploration and science.
Highlighting US Leadership
At this year's gathering, NASA plans to emphasize American leadership in human space exploration, including efforts to return astronauts to the Moon and eventually send them to Mars. The agency will also spotlight its work advancing "responsible exploration" under the Artemis Accords, the set of international principles guiding cooperation in space exploration that NASA has established with partner nations.
Beyond human exploration, NASA's presence at the congress will highlight the agency's broader scientific research and its continued support for the growing commercial space sector, which has become an increasingly significant part of the agency's strategy for accessing low Earth orbit and beyond.
Further details on NASA's specific presentations and participants at the congress are expected to be released closer to the event.
