Modern society relies on space-borne assets to support a wide and growing range of daily activities. This dependence is both visible and hidden; the apparent ones, such as our navigation systems and entertainment networks, are widely recognised as depending on satellites functioning continuously and safely in orbit. Other aspects, though, are more subtle and their benefits are less obvious, but by no means less important
The field of space situational awareness (SSA) is a kind of a situational awareness of all objects in orbit. Without it, society would be largely left hoping that everything would simply work without potential dangers or complications.
The event will be an opportunity for stakeholders in this area to exchange ideas, concepts and solutions to the many challenges stand in the way of safer satellite operations in space.For further information, please visit: http://www.congrex.nl/11C01/(opens in new window)
