And Over to You: Five Conversations on Sample Return Missions
Half a Century of Partnership, a New Era of Discovery
And Over to You is a five-part webinar series exploring the scientific, technical, and strategic significance of sample return missions at a pivotal moment for international space cooperation. Marking over fifty years of collaboration between key spacefaring nations, the series brings together paired speakers from across agencies, academia, and industry to reflect on past achievements while looking ahead to the next generation of missions — from the Moon and asteroids to Mars and beyond.
Each session will feature two speakers in conversation with surprise guest appearances offering additional perspectives. The discussions will focus on mission design, scientific return, planetary defence, curation and analysis, as well as the broader implications for space exploration and international partnership

Designed to be accessible while remaining technically substantive, the series aims to foster cross-sector dialogue and inspire the next phase of collaborative discovery. Held after work hours to accommodate international time differences, the sessions are open to all — everyone is welcome.
The webinar series is supported by the Australian Space Agency (ASA), ESA, JAXA, the University of Tokyo, UTOPS, the University of Melbourne, CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research), and the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, and is organised by Aussie Space Rocks.
