This panel discussion brings together leading experts in space technology, resource extraction, and energy policy to delve into the compelling, yet complex, prospect of mining Helium-3 on the Moon. With growing global energy demands and the pursuit of cleaner, safer energy sources, the potential of lunar Helium-3 as a fusion fuel has reignited interest in lunar resource utilization. This session will explore the scientific basis for Helium-3’s potential, the technological hurdles to overcome mining lunar Helium-3, and the economic viability of such an endeavor.

Space debris is part of almost every topic surrounding activities in outer space, yet despite its prevalence in the discussion, both the threat of damage and the lack of progress in mitigating it continues to grow. In light of the recent lawsuit involving a Florida family requesting that NASA pay for damage caused by a piece of space junk landing on their house, questions about the future of space debris mitigation.

Moderated by Beyond Earth’s Executive Vice President, Courtney Stadd, this Webinar brings together prominent subject experts who will focus on the nature of the data that make up the current global space market analysis, the nature of future forecasts, including what is behind the methodology. We will also discuss to what extent these forecasts should be trusted in terms of guiding investment strategies by the capital markets, as well as the government which is increasingly relying on the commercial space sector as a critical partner and customer.

Long-term human space migration has always been tempered by the challenge of a microgravity environment. This webinar, moderated by BE’s Senior Technical Advisor, Steve Hoeser, will focus on the pathways forward for mitigating the effects of microgravity. Panelists will discuss the value of revisiting investigations into spin gravity as an avenue to address the microgravity problem.
