Challenges and Oppourtunities in Human Space Flight

We are inviting you to our workshop on discussing challenges and oppoutunities in Human Space flight Program. From the historic spaceflight of Yuri Gagarin to the recent return of NASA Astronauts, Human Space Flight always excited people irrespective of their demographics and nationalities. From the ancient effort of predicting astronomical events to modern space explorers, human space flight advanced both science and science fiction across the world. While human space flight in the past decade was more like a glamorous affair for leading space agencies, it is turning a more utilitarian need for many nations for harvesting space resources, colonizing planets, setting up space stations and so on. This workshop will discuss opportunities and challenges for human space flight through a series of talks by leading experts in the field. We shall also take efforts on mainstreaming technologies related to human spaceflight by discussing progress in human machine interaction and Artificial Intelligence.
