Human Space Technology Initiative (HSTI), 2010

• Aims at involving more countries in activities related to:• human space flight and space exploration and

• at increasing the benefit from the outcome of such activities through international cooperation

• to make space exploration a truly international effort.

• The role of HSTI in these efforts consists of providing a platform:• to exchange information,

• to foster collaboration between partners from spacefaring and non-spacefaring countries and

• to encourage emerging and developing countries to take part in space research and to benefit from space applications.
