The Global Exploration Strategy - The Framework for Coordination

Sustainable space exploration is a challenge that no one nation can do on its own. This is why fourteen space agencies have developed "The Global Exploration Strategy: The Framework for Coordination", which presents a vision for robotic and human space exploration, focussing on destinations within the solar system where we may one day live and work. It elaborates an action plan to share the strategies and efforts of individual nations so that all can achieve their exploration goals more effectively and safely. This Framework does not propose a single global programme. Rather, it recommends a voluntary, non-binding forum, the international Coordination Mechanism, through which nations can collaborate to strengthen both individual projects and the collective effort.
