The summit features a morning astronaut panel, followed by four concurrent breakout sessions, and a closing capstone session. The global event will take place virtually on Pacific Standard Time (PST) in the US, so that participants from Europe or Africa, the Americas, and East Asia can all participate. We welcome participants from Australia and Asia as well, but know the timing may be more challenging for them.
