Abstract
The objectives of the conference are outlined, followed by reviews of some highlights of recent developments in space engineering, space sciences and their practical benefits, which are not only becoming more evident but also of considerable commercial value. This paper concludes with a discussion of the future challenges of near–Earth space science and technology, especially the arrangements for operational monitoring and exploiting the results from a UK and European perspective.Keywords
