2nd Foundation of Interstellar Studies Workshop

16 March 2019

The Initiative for Interstellar Studies and the British Interplanetary Society are pleased to announce the 2nd Foundation of Interstellar Studies Workshop, which will take place from 27th to 30th of June, at the current headquarters of the i4is, The Bone Mill, on the edge of the wonderful English Cotswolds, in south Gloucestershire, UK.

Interstellar Travel is and will always be one of the greatest human challenges. From science fiction to the adventure of travelling beyond the stars and exploring the vast space. Us, Scientists, Researchers, Engineers, and Adventurers are capable of making these dreams come reality. Through addressing the various challenges by scientific and innovative discussions, we believe, Interstellar Travel can become an accessible technology. Based on that, our workshop will be featuring 3 main themes across the 3 days. Living in Deep Space, Advanced Propulsion Technology and Missions, and, Building Architectural Mega-structures.

Researchers are invited to submit their abstract by 1st May, 2019. The abstracts will be reviewed by our committee to be featured in the workshop and an invitation will be made for selected authors post-conference, to the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society and/or publication in the official conference proceedings.

For Registration, and to submit an abstract please send an email/fill in the application through the website: fisw.space

A Mission to 1I/’Oumuamua

15 October 2026

1I/’Oumuamua is a very special celestial body. As well as being the first interstellar object (ISO) to be discovered encountering our Solar System, way back in 2017, it has various other strange qualities which make it a scientific enigma. Amongst its unusual features we have the following: (1) It is the first ISO to be […]

Halley’s Comet – a Remarkable Serendipity

13 October 2026

Adam Hibberd Conceptually the problem of a rendezvous with Halley’s comet, i.e. the requirement for the vehicle to apply thrust to match its velocity to that of the comet’s, is largely a problem of matching orbital plane. Once this is done, a significant proportion of the work has been performed. Of course the challenge with […]

Halley – Return to Earth

6 October 2026

Adam Hibberd Having solved the problem of catching up with and staying alongside Halley’s comet as it orbits the Sun (go here), the natural follow-up problem is how do we return to Earth, from Halley’s orbit, with a sample on-board? So, I decided to look into the problem of a sample return mission from Halley, […]

Europlanet Symposium

2 October 2026

Mention must be made of Annual Europlanet Science Congress 2026, Symposium, which took place in Netherlands this September. Our Executive Director, Andreas Hein chaired the session on Interstellar Objects (ISOs). T. Marshall Eubanks (Space Initiatives Inc, USA) gave the invited talk at the beginning, highlighting our efforts to coordinate the observation campaign of 3I/ATLAS. See […]
