    Title

    Earth Observation Systems

    type

    oral

    Description

    Focus is on innovative and new concept system solutions for Earth observations and how well they perform to meet user / mission objectives. Functional and technical description are encouraged. Papers covering all phases of the life cycle are requested including for systems envisioned, planned, recently launched, ongoing, and historical for single spacecraft missions and constellations, and for all categories of purposes including for scientific research, experimental demonstration, and operational / commercial Earth observation. All sources of missions are sought including governmental / agency programs, public / private partnerships, commercial, academic / non-governmental / non-commercial. Desired papers convey design features, technical performance, status of technical execution (concept study, concept design, preliminary design, detailed design, development, operations, retirement, historical), and technical challenges of the associated program, and highlighting unique / unprecedented features and the technical value they provide. Papers with a management / organization / programmatic / business model / cooperation focus should be submitted to B1.1
