Interstellar Probe: Science, Engineering, Logistic, Economic and Social Factors

Abstract:

The interstellar mission is primarily a research and scientific project, but its engineering, logistic, business (economic) and social aspects should not be forgotten. Research teams often treat these factors as auxiliary, yet they have a key impact on the success of the entire project, especially in a situation of limited financial resources.

To attract young people to the Interstellar Probe mission the publications on this topic were sent to them and they were asked about impressions and comments.

In this presentation engineering comments and visions by those asked young people are cited. Logistic, business and social aspects and some scientific questions are also considered.
