Crewed Exploration and Settlement (CES) Database – Around the world, a growing number of governments, private companies, and international organizations are actively working to establish a sustained human presence in outer space. Despite the growing importance of Crewed Exploration and Settlement (CES) in both policy and academic debates, empirical data necessary for studying this sector remain fragmented and inconsistent. To address this gap, Nathalie Lai, Thao Pham, Enrike van Wingerden, and Darshan Vigneswaran at the University of Amsterdam have developed the CES Database. When using the data please cite: Lai, N., Pham T., van Wingerden, E. & Vigneswaran, D (2024) ‘Mapping Crewed Exploration and Settlement of Outer Space: Introducing a New Database’, preprint available at https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/nxw26.
