WORKSHOP PLENARY DISCUSSIONS Following keynote presentations by former NOAA administrator Conrad Lautenbacher, entitled "Scientific and Technological Cooperation and Competition in a Globalizing World" (Appendix D) , and historian Roger Launius of the National Air and Space Museum, entitled "Governmental Space Cooperation and Competition During and After the Cold War⎯Lessons Learned" (Appendix E)

WORKSHOP DISCUSSION GROUPS Following the plenary discussions, workshop participants were divided into four parallel discussion groups that were each given one of the following topics to address: • International space cooperation as a tool for engagement with emerging space power, • The role of international cooperation in the future of space exploration, • The role of Earth observations in supporting international efforts in climate and sustainability, and • New approaches to global space cooperation in a time of limited resources. The views of discussion group participants were reported back to the final plenary session and are summarized below.

The discussion group members, including participants from Europe and Japan, noted that the Space Studies Board might wish to consider implementing such forums and to do so in a collaborative fashion that involves the European Space Science Committee and a counterpart organization in Japan. International Cooperation in the Future of Space Exploration Participants in the discussion group on international cooperation in the future of space exploration observed that with the world becoming increasingly interdependent, space activities need to be conducted in a manner consistent with this reality.

, a global architecture for continuity and coherence of space segment data sets that includes, for example, virtual satellite constellations from multiple providers; • Encouraging, through GEO and CEOS among others, nations to promote open utilization of remote sensing data; • Seeking improved communications between GEO and industry through establishment of a mechanism for industry representation in GEO; and • Making the public aware of impending challenges posed by and consequences expected from global change as well as the necessity of space-based Earth observations to address those challenges. Approaches to International Cooperation in a Time of Limited Resources The group discussing approaches to international cooperation in a time of limited resources initially considered several factors that might influence future approaches to global space cooperation and coordination, including the following: 1 See http://www.earthobservations.org/.

They also noted three questions that merit further consideration, perhaps as discussion topics in a future Space Studies Board workshop: • How will emerging space companies, philanthropic initiatives, and so on, interact with traditional organizations pursuing space cooperation? • How will participatory technologies2 be incorporated into space collaboration efforts?
