The fourth edition of the SUTUS summit, which is held in September at Les Roches Marbella, will serve to learn first-hand about the plans of the Spanish Space Agency (AEE) for the ARTEMIS program, which Spain joined in May to bring to the first woman to the Moon in 2025.
In addition, PREPA will explain in SUTUS (Space & Underwater Tourism Universal Summit), an event that also brings together other international agencies such as NASA and the Japanese JAXA, the advances in the Space Law and in the National Space Plan. The AEE, which was created on April 20, 2023 and has its headquarters in Seville, is one of the 28 international agencies that participate in the ARTEMIS program, which will be one of the thematic axes of the event, which will be held from 26 to 28 September at Les Roches Marbella.
