Abstract
The First I.A.A. Symposium on Realistic Near-Term Advanced Scientific Space Missions was held in Turin (Italy) on June 25–27, 1996. Hosting institution was the Politecnico di Torino with the cooperation of the “Giuseppe Colombo” Centre for Astrodynamics of Turin. This Symposium was the first ever organized by the Interstellar Space Exploration Committee (ISEC) of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) in addition to the similar Symposia that ISEC runs yearly as a part of its activities within the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) Congress. The leading theme of this first Turin Symposium was “Missions to the Outer Solar System and Beyond”, i.e. deep space scientific explorations from the orbit of Jupiter outward, up to Pluto, the Kuiper Belt and further still, to 1000 Astronomical units at most. Another important theme was solar sailing. In Turin, new developments found an apt framework to grow, and the talks given are reviewed here, drawing the current perspectives on exploration of the outer solar system and beyond.
