DESCRIPTION:şÚÁĎÉç's Institute of Air and Space Law (IASL) and the Internat
 ional Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS) invite you t
 o this conference\, which will be an opportunity to reflect and exchange i
 nformation on a number of topics in space safety and sustainability of nat
 ional and international interest. The conference will also a forum to prom
 ote mutual understanding\, trust\, and the widest possible professional in
 ternational cooperation in such matters.  Visit the conference website at 
 iaassconference2013.spacesafetyfoundation.org for the programme\, registra
 tion information\, and more.  Safety is not an option  The once exclusive 
 “club” of nations with autonomous sub-orbital and orbital space access cap
 abilities is becoming crowded with ambitious new entrants. Commercial spac
 eports are being built and are becoming operational.  The historical fligh
 ts to the ISS of the privately-owned DragonX and Cygnus spacecrafts have i
 naugurated the era of commercial “spaceliners” that can provide cargo and 
 crew transportation services to orbit.  International cooperation both on 
 the civil and commercial fronts is also gaining momentum. The robotic spac
 e exploration will accelerate and\, with it\, the need to improve internat
 ional usage of nuclear power sources. Space-bound systems and aviation tra
 ffic will share an increasingly crowded airspace\, while aviation will rel
 y more on safety-critical services based in near-space.  Finally\, most na
 tions nowadays own important space assets\, mainly satellites of various k
 inds and purpose\, which as for human missions are under the constant thre
 at of collision with other spacecraft and with the ever increasing number 
 of space debris. Without proactive and courageous initiatives\, we risk to
  negate access and use of space to future generations. Awareness is increa
 sing internationally (as solemnly declared since decades in space treaties
 ) that space is a mankind asset and that we all have the duty of caring fo
 r it.  The sixth IAASS Conference will in addition dedicate a set of speci
 alised sessions to three topics which need to get better attention in spac
 e programs: Space Debris Remediation\, International Space Traffic Control
 \, and Commercial Human Spaceflight Safety.  Active removal from orbit of 
 “dead” satellites and spent launcher upper stages\, and international coor
 dination of space traffic are mandatory for safe orbital operations\, and 
 for the safety of the public on ground. Instead\, the safety of commercial
  human spaceflight is a critical element for the expansion\, and perhaps e
 ven continuation\, of human spaceflight. The success of commercial spacefl
 ight will be determined by a substantially higher level of safety and not 
 solely by cost reductions. These special sessions will provide participant
 s insight\, innovative strategies and open discussion into these important
  aspects of space safety.
