Space activities are reaching a turning point due to the rapid growth of the commercial space sector and the development of new infrastructures such as lunar orbital gateways and space transportation systems. It is necessary to think about visions for space development involving not only national government organizations and academic institutions but also private companies. In addition, "sustainability" is an indispensable keyword for the future of space development. Sustainability here includes not only environmental sustainability, such as debris management and planetary protection, but also economic sustainability, allowing space development without dependence on governmental budgets. Therefore, the ISTS will hold a program in which students and young professionals from industry, academia, and government can work together on the building blocks of sustainable space development visions for 2040. Through this activity, we aim to create teams that can not only draw cross-sectional visions, but also break through the vertical divisions between occupations and fields, to solve problems as one. Five teams (about six members each) will be formed to discuss sustainable space visions. Each team will discuss "themes to be solved for 2040" and present their vision for solving the issues at the plenary session of ISTS on June 7, 2023.
