- Title
Joint Small Satellite/Space Debris Session on Small Satellite Operations for the Sustainability of Space
- type
oral
- Description
This session facilitates bilateral discussions between Small Satellite and Space Debris communities for shared understanding of the challenges/issues and to promote practical small satellite solutions for the long-term sustainability of space. It will include topics such as, but not limited to: - Small satellite constellations operations, sustainability, post-mission disposal and de-orbiting - Small-satellite missions: Lessons learned in the LEOP phase and in small satellite identification in early operational phase - Debris risk mitigation and Space Traffic Management technologies for small satellites and constellations - Small satellites for Post Mission Disposal, In-orbit servicing and support to sustainability actions and Space Traffic Management - Capacity and slotting for small satellite constellations - Lessons learned from sustainability and debris mitigation actions for small satellite missions and constellations - Active Debris Removal missions and rendezvous and docking missions. - Small satellite technology related to space sustainability - Best practice in implementing sustainability on very small spacecraft.
