Austria
The 'Symposium on small satellite programmes for sustainable development: payloads for small satellite programmes' will take place in Graz, Austria from 21 to 24 September 2010.
This event is one in a series of symposiums which are all part of the United Nations Basic Space Technology Initiative (UNBSTI). UNBISTI is a new effort within the framework of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications. It aims to support capacity building in basic space technology and to promote the use of space technology and its applications for sustainable development.
The event will seek to:
- review the status of worldwide small satellite activities, with a particular focus on regional cooperation,
- examine the potential of using small satellites for education, research and operational applications,
- discuss the technical and programmatic issues of developing payloads for small satellites,
- consider the relevant regulatory issues (such as frequency allocations, space debris mitigation, registration) specific to small satellite programmes.
Symposium participants are set to include those who are involved in the planning or implementation of small satellite programmes in relevant governmental and non-governmental organisations, international or national agencies, academic institutions and industry.For further information, please visit:
