Title

IAF SYMPOSIUM ON SPACE SECURITY

Description

This symposium, organized by the International Astronautical Federation, will address two major issues regarding safe and secure operations of space systems via two separate sessions: i) policy, legal, institutional and economic aspects of space debris detection, mitigation and removal, jointly with the IAA Symposium on Space Debris, and, ii) cyber security threats to space missions and countermeasures to address them, jointly with the IAA Symposium on Safety, Quality and Knowledge Management on Space Activities. Papers dealing with non-technical aspects of space debris mitigation and removal, and case studies focusing on countermeasures needs, including cryptography processes, operational security, supply chain and other aspects relevant to ensure a “cyber secure” mission will be well received in this Symposium.
