24–26 February 2027 · Teramo, Italy
The International School on Space Resources will bring together participants interested in the scientific and technological challenges of identifying and using resources beyond Earth. The school will take place at the Archivio di Stato di Teramo.
Main lecturer: Prof. Angel Abbud-Madrid, Colorado School of Mines.
Space resources bring together planetary science, resource prospecting and engineering. In-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) explores how materials found on celestial bodies could support future robotic and human exploration. The school offers an opportunity to engage with this multidisciplinary field and its relevance to space exploration.
The School is organised by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI), the 'G. d'Annunzio' University of Chieti-Pescara and the Archivio di Stato of Teramo, under the auspices of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the Abruzzo Aerospace District (DAAB).
Further details on the programme, registration and practical arrangements will be added as they become available.
