Standing Committee for Space Research: Precious Expertise for Space research

The Standing Committee for Space Research de l'Académie des sciences, chaired by Jean-Loup Puget, was created in the middle of the 1980s. It focuses its attention on the research that is ongoing or ought to be conducted “by and for” space, the latter being considered both as a means of scientific investigation and as an objective for exploration.
