We live in the times of the space revolution, the new space is entering our everyday lives widely. The new cosmos is that part of space research that serves the Earth and Humanity. Space gives us the opportunity to observe events and phenomena on Earth on a global scale, which in turn gives us a sense of security and the ability to better manage the management of resources on our planet. Satellite observations help to warn of dangerous atmospheric phenomena, give the opportunity to monitor environmental disasters and predict their impact on people. There is a growing interest in space resources, including resources for the energy sector. 95% of the universe is hydrogen and helium, which can be converted into energy. Technologies for the extraction and processing of space resources are currently being improved, which at the same time is related to the need to send people to planets. In order to be safe, we need to know the mechanisms of the impact of the space environment on living organisms, and above all on humans. We need to learn how to produce food in space, these are the issues that the rapidly growing field of space science is dealing with, which is space biology. Most of the results of space research can be used for terrestrial applications, such as technologies for producing food in space conditions can be used on Earth to produce food in rapidly changing climatic conditions.

As part of the organized conference on Space and Satellite Technology, we would like to show the possibilities of using space technologies for the needs of humanity and the protection of resources on Earth, as well as the development of the space industry in Poland. One of the topics we want to discuss with the conference participants is the scope of space exploration and the benefits that people can derive from this research.
