With a focus on deliberating recent developments and innovation as well as providing pragmatic solutions to concurrent challenges in space exploration, the Global Space Exploration Conference (GLEX) 2020) which was scheduled to hold from 9 – 11 June 2020 in Palace, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation has been postponed to 1-3 September 2020.

This is due to the current COVID-19 situation. It is the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and ROSCOSMOS commitment to organize this important conference under circumstances and at dates that will assure the safety of all participants and will allow everybody to travel. With this in mind the team will continue to monitor the situation closely and – depending on the global developments – by mid-June intends to re-confirm the date of 1 – 3 September 2020 or inform about any eventually necessary further postponement.
