Special Issue on Innovative System Concepts

The third Issue of Acta Futura contains papers from the invited speakers to the second workshop on innovative concepts. This second edition of the workshop focused on innovative concepts conceived by the space community. The contents of the workshop were organised around four meta-themes: i) Creating tomorrow's Pioneers, ii) Vis viva from space, iii) Driving evolution and iv) Discovering Natural Paths. These themes form the backbone of the ACT's research interests.
