More than 100 astronauts, cosmonauts and taikonauts from 21 countries are presently attending the Association of Space Explorers' XXIX Planetary Congress in Vienna, Austria. The theme this year is "Born to Explore."
Since 1985, the ASE convenes for the Planetary Congress each year in a different country. This event in 2016 is scheduled for five days in Vienna and is a mixture of technical/scientific lectures and cultural activities. Due to their extraordinary public outreach potential, the participants will engage in education activities, meeting with opinion leaders, the media and industry as well as the general public during the Community Day.
