The International Astronautical Congress 2026 opened in Antalya, with day-one discussions centring on international space cooperation running alongside a clear push by nations to build sovereign space capabilities. Coverage highlights how delegates balanced partnership rhetoric against growing national ambitions in launch, satellites and space security as the week's programme began.
