Space Science and Public Engagement

21st Century Perspectives and Opportunities

About this book

Space Science and Public Engagement: 21st Century Perspectives and Opportunities critically examines the many dimensions of public engagement with space science by exploring case studies that show a spectrum of public engagement formats, ranging from the space science community's efforts to communicate developments to the public, to citizenry attempting to engage with space science issues. It addresses why public engagement is important to space science experts, what approaches they take, how public engagement varies locally, nationally and internationally, and what roles "non-experts" have played in shaping space science. Space scientists, outreach specialists in various scientific disciplines, policymakers and citizens interested in space science will find great insights in this book that will help inform their future engagement strategies. - Critically examines how expert organizations and the space science community have sought to bring space science to the public - Examines how the public has responded, and in some cases self-organized, to opportunities to contribute to space science - Outlines future engagement interests and possibilities
