The Space Generation Congress (SGC) will be a meeting of approximately 200 international young delegates to develop their plans for the future utilization and exploration of space. It shall expand on the recommendations previously generated at previous similar meetings - Space Generation Forum (at UNISPACE III)in 1999 in Vienna, and Space Generation Summit in Houston 2002 - and begin to develop implementation strategies for these recommendations.
