Title

Innovative Systems toward Future Architectures

type

oral

Description

This session explores innovative system concepts, technical capabilities that enable future architectures, new applications, new business models and evolution of the global ecosystem. It also analyses how new challenges such as reduction of environmental impact (space debris, CO2 footprint reduction) can induce new space system architectures, applications, eventually proposing solutions to reduce global warming and debris mitigation. As examples: Could Space based Solar Power contribute to reduction of CO2 emission and make an economically and technically feasible option to meet the energy needs? Will in-space transportation and logistics develop in association with reusable launchers? Which new applications could be enabled i.e., Active Debri Removal (ADR), In-orbit Service and Manufacturing (IOSM) or recycling? How would these changes affect the ecosystems? This session objective is to connect innovators and researchers in building a vision of transformation of space systems architecture. In this perspective, the dreams of yesterday are the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow
