On 19-20 November 2021 topic areas for papers include:

T1 Deepening Application of Spatial IT in New Era & Human Sustainable Development
In the 2020s, mankind faces major challenges such as environmental degradation, climate change, food security and public security. This Track is expected to enhance global communication and cooperation to promote and deepen the application of spatial IT in major fields like resource management, environmental monitoring, disaster prevention and mitigation, thus, to further promote the peaceful use of space science and technology and make benefits for the well-being of mankind.

T2 Space Law
This track discusses space law questions in the following topics:
 Outer space safety
 Outer space resource development and utilization
 Space transportation management
 LEO constellation of small satellites
 Manned space

T3 Space Technology and Human Health
Discussing and exchanging opinions about the specific application of space technology in health and epidemic prevention and control.

T4 Green Space Propulsion Opportunities and Prospects
• Distinctive environmental challenges for sub-orbital, Earth to orbit and in-space propulsion.
• Greener space propulsion in chemical and non-chemical rocket, liquid, solid and hybrid rocket systems,
• Promising green space propellants for various space missions
• Advanced green propulsion systems for ramjet, scramjet, air-breathing, nuclear, electric, solar and other advanced rocket systems

T5 Space Mutation Breeding and Space Biology Research
This track will introduce progress of the basic scientific research in the molecular mechanism of space mutation breeding, and showcase the innovation and the cultivation and release of new varieties of germplasm resources such as staple food crops, horticultural crops, cash crops, forest, grass, flowers, Chinese herbal medicines, etc. It presents the latest application examples in the fields of industrial microorganisms and food processing and nutrition, and provides innovations and breakthroughs related to drug research and development obtained by using space mutagenesis technology in the field of medicine and health.

T6 Automobile Industry: Carbon Reduction, from Designing to Running (draft)

T7 Space Education
This track will introduce programs and discuss space education from a K12 student’s perspective. Experienced educators will share their insights on how to make space education attractive and inspirational.

T8 Space Technology and Industry Investment
Discussing topics on industry development trend and shares about enterprise technology application sharing.

T9 Space Power and Terrestrial Energy
It is crucial to identify research, develop and deploy affordable and sustainable new energy sources. This need is driven by a demand for energy to enable economic growth for a still-increasing global population. It is also driven by concerns regarding the long-term accumulation in Earth’s atmosphere of fossil fuel-derived greenhouse gases, and the prospect that annual production of petroleum will begin to decline. The challenge to transition current terrestrial energy systems into more environmentally friendly, sustainable ones is engaged. The whole range of power generation, conversion and storage will be discussed as well as the prospects for using space-based power plants to provide energy remotely to the Earth.
