    D1.1. Innovative and Visionary Space Systems Concepts

    Dreams of yesterday are a reality today. Dreams of tomorrow need to be looked at today to make them real in the future. With emerging new technologies, it is now possible to conceptualise new and innovative space systems and new potential applications for the future. This session will explore innovative technologies, services, software and concepts for space systems for the future.

    D1.2. Enabling Technologies for Space Systems

    This session will focus on innovative, technological developments that are usually high risk, but which have the potential to significantly enhance the performance of existing and new space systems. Enabling innovative technologies for space applications often result from “spin-ins” which will be discussed during the session, together with potential spin-offs. Examples include instrumentation, biotechnology, components, micro- and nano-technology, MEMS, advanced new structures and software techniques.

    D1.3. System Engineering Tools, Processes & Training

    This session will focus on state-of-the-art system engineering methodologies, design techniques, tools, processes, and training that reduce the time and cost, and improve the quality of space system design. Of special interest are multi-disciplinary methods, tools, and processes including modelling and simulation used to define system architectures to improve risk management, safety, reliability, testability, quality of life cycle cost estimates, and to improve the training of system engineers.

    D1.4. Space Systems Architectures

    The subject of this session is current and future space system architectures to increase performance, efficiency, reliability, and flexibility of application. Topics of interest include the design of flight and ground system (hardware & software) architectures and the partitioning of functions between them, small satellite constellations and formations (swarms), and the use of on-board autonomy and autonomous ground operations.

    D1.5. Lessons Learned in Space Systems

    Experiences, both positive and negative, that have been encountered in space systems (hardware & software) design, development and operation. End-to-end lessons learned and impacts on cost, schedule and performance, in the areas of (among others): international cooperation, the use of COTS products, partitioning of functions between flight and ground systems, the extent and fidelity of simulations, integration, test and operations.

    D1.6.-D2.9. Joint Session on Status of the Ares I and V Launch Vehicles

    This joint SE/Space Transportation session will update the international community on the progress NASA has achieved on the design of the Ares I and Ares V Launch Vehicles. Focus will be on state-of-the-art system engineering methodologies, design techniques, tools, processes, and training that reduce the time and cost, to improve the quality of the Ares I and Ares V Launch Vehicles and related subsystems. Of special interest are multi disciplinary methods, tools and processes used to define the system architectures to improve risk management, safety, reliability, testability, and life cycle cost estimates.
