Title

Joint Space Operations/ Space Debris Session

Description

This session facilitates discussions between Space Operations and Space Debris communities for shared understanding of the challenges/issues in operating in a debris-rich environment. Lessons learned from CAM operations, HSF and PMD are especially welcome. Looking into the future: improved STM; automated CAM; and large constellation operations in LEO are key challenges for the community and require the appropriate regulatory environment.
