    C1.1. Orbital Dynamics (1)

    This theme discusses advances in the knowledge of natural motions of objects in orbit around the Earth, planets, minor bodies, Lagrangian points and more generally natural orbital dynamics of spacecraft in the Solar System. It also covers advances in orbit determination.

    C1.3. Attitude Dynamics (1)

    This theme discusses advances in spacecraft attitude dynamics and control, as well as design, testing and performance of novel attitude sensors and actuators. This theme also covers dynamics and control of multiple interconnected rigid and flexible bodies, including tethered systems, and in-orbit assembly.

    C1.7-A6.10. Orbital Safety and Optimal Operations in an Increasingly Congested Environment (Joint Astrodynamics/Space Debris Session)

    This joint session will concern itself with the technical challenges driven by salient problems in space debris and space traffic that can be well informed by contributions from the field of astrodynamics (the science that studies the motion of objects in space). Specific issues regarding long-term population assessments and predictions, safely operating NextGen (large) Constellations, determining the data and modeling requirements to uniquely identify and predict the motion of objects in space (e.g. class specific), discovering and developing improved methods of debris mitigation and remediation founded upon forces and torques, development of semi-analytical theories relevant to specific classes and types of orbital debris, etc. are of relevance to this joint session.

    C1.IP. Interactive Presentations - IAF ASTRODYNAMICS SYMPOSIUM

    This session offers a unique opportunity to deliver your key messages in an interactive presentation on any of the subjects of Astrodynamics addressed in the classic Sessions. The presentation will be displayed on a digital screen in a dedicated location and available for view by all Congress attendees for the entire Congress week. In addition, one afternoon is dedicated exclusively for the attendees to view the Interactive Presentations, and the author will be assigned a specific ten minute slot to personally present the topic and interact with the attendees present. The Interactive Presentation may take advantage of all electronic display capabilities, such as: PowerPoint charts, embedded hot links, pictures, audio and video clips etc. An award will also be presented to the author of the best Interactive Presentation in the C Category at a special ceremony. An Abstract that follows the standard format must be submitted by the deadline for standard IAC abstracts.
