    Title

    UNCOPUOS and ITU Registration of Large Constellations

    type

    oral

    Description

    UNCOPUOS and ITU are two different international structures with interest in space activities. They have a contrasting history, material scope, and membership. Their diverging working methods manifest themselves in their approach to obtaining information about space objects. Whereas the method of advance publication, coordination and notification of frequency assignments used by radio stations onboard space objects, as well as their recording in the Master International Frequency Register used for decades by the ITU allows to obtain an early information about satellite systems, the 1975 UN Registration Convention elaborated by the UNCOPUOS requires limited information on space objects already launched into outer space. These differences become obvious in recent cases of registration of large constellations. The session invites papers which observe the methods of registration of large constellations, discuss the relation of UNCOPUOS and ITU, and analyze the possibility of their further synergies leading to the enhanced information of the space community about satellite networks and systems.
