We have started the fourth Congress day with plenary session discussion on the use of the International Space Station (ISS) and other plans for low Earth orbit. It was confirmed that ISS is the first step to travel farther from Earth. At the same time, its operation brings a number of technological advances that are reflected in the traditional areas of terrestrial life. For exapmle the development of new materials and research of flow at high speeds allow the design of new, more efficient  turbine impellers and similar applications are innumerable.

Soon, on the ISS there is going to be made more experiments and tests to longer stay of human. In March 2015, there is going to begin the annual stay of one American and one Russian cosmonaut on the ISS. It is planned to connect another module that will test the technique of construction of residential premises from inflatable modules in practice. The International Space Station is also a platform for international cooperation, based on standard processes and technical solutions. That is all subject to the principle of voluntary compliance of agreed standards, e.g. the universal conection mechanism which are publicly available. Using of this principle gradually extends to an increasing number of products, not only for ISS construction but also for its operation. More and more companies and individuals understand the low Earth orbit as a unique environment for testing and exploring new opportunities and solutions based microgravity environment.

Even today we, besides the traditional activities at our booth, have visited another fellow-exhibitors. We had a very interesting conversation with staff of the French Institute of Technology F'SATI in South Africa. "Last years, this country has been expanding in space sector literally skyrocketing, mainly due to the direct financial support from the state. The Institute was founded in 1998 by the two local universities, is now educating dozens of students in the master's
