Project Space Vision attempts to document the visions of a new generation of international space professionals for the long-term future of space activities. This voluntary effort was initiated as an independent response from the young space community to an invitation to provide direct input to the Long Term Space Policy Committee of the European Space Agency. By using modern communications tools in the form of the Internet, the World Wide Web and the ISUnet, calls for contributions could reach several thousands of potential contributors within a few weeks time. In return, contributions in the form of survey responses and concise papers were received internationally from young professionals within space agencies, space industry, universities and other organisations. The dominating fundamental reasons for future space activities were found in the areas of services to humankind, scientific progress and exploration. Main perceived barriers were lack of public and political support and high cost of access to space. Other main results include drastic overestimates by the contributors regarding the relative magnitude of spending on space activities. This paper describes the specifics of Project Space Vision and provides an analysis of the fundamental motivations for space activities in our generation as seen by the reached representatives of an emerging space community. The ideas, proposals and suggestions for future space activities are condensed into five specific areas of recommendations followed by general conclusions. Final recommendations are expressed in the form of a space policy in three steps, supported by the general spirit of the contributors.
