40 Needs (Bals) Lessons learnt during the development, implementation and operational use of exploration missions and technologies in the area of avionics lead to the next question: What are the key technological needs for the avionics systems for exploration?

This is to support or encourage provision of technology, systems, hardware, and services from commercial entities and create new markets A public private partnership (PPP) is a government service or private business venture that is funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or more private sector companies. Is PPP a good model to foster avionics technology for exploration missions? 57

42 Priorities (Ortega) Discussions about the current avionics needs and requirements raised by the upcoming exploration missions and technology to interplanetary and small body destinations, and discuss shared priorities and possible roadmaps for future endeavours What are the priorities in the upcoming technology cycle? 58
