    Title

    Extra-Terrestrial and Interplanetary Communications, and Regulations

    type

    oral

    Description

    This session focuses on near-Earth, deep-space and extra-terrestrial communications with particular emphasis on unique concepts, techniques and technologies including all aspects of space communications, services, architecture and infrastructure: ARTEMIS related missions; Earth orbiting, lunar, and planetary missions; flight and ground demonstrations and results; present and future scenarios; next generation systems and applications; science missions; terrestrial-based systems; small satellites; near-Earth and planet observation satellites. It also includes spectrum interferences, spectrum allocations and regulations issues, and impacts of Space Debris and optical pollution to satellite communications for new systems/services, systems modeling; and review/survey papers.
