The International Academy of Astronautics has been fostering global cooperation in human and robotic space exploration for more than five decades. With the return to the Moon already started with robotics spacecraft and with humans in the next few years, planning for exploration beyond LEO is becoming finally a reality, while it is expected that the world’s space agencies will leave much of the work in LEO to private organizations. With the support of AIDAA, the goals of this new Symposium are to present the final results of IAA activities related to programs beyond LEO, beginning with the Moon Village vision. The Moon Village is considered the next logical step for humans beyond LEO and a stepping stone for Mars exploration and other interplanetary journeys.
