CNES, the 73rd International Astronautical Congress host, vows to produce the first sustainable IAC!

As the Professional Congress Organizer chosen by CNES, K.I.T. Group France shares this commitment and has integrated sustainable practices at all levels of the construction and organization of the event.

The certification process has been initiated according to the ISO 20121: 2012 “responsible event” standard. ISO 20121 offers guidance and best practice to help manage the event and control its social, economic, and environmental impact.

In addition to ISO 20121, IAC 2022 has decided to go even further and calculate its Carbon Footprint: the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) generated by our actions in all departments of the event: from registration, accommodation, transport, materials, to food, energy, and waste.

Objective 1: Eco-designing its communication with the various stakeholders. It means that we:

• Raise awareness of the CSR approach among our stakeholders
• Reduce the ecological footprint of the congress communication through responsible communication practices (for example, the congress programs will not be printed but will be available in digital format)

Objective 2: Positive social impact: making the congress accessible and welcoming to all

• Make the event accessible to all (within the venue with adapted care)
• Commitment to parity and diversity with, for example, the wearing of gender-neutral clothing by reception staff
• Develop the experience of others by having solidarity partners intervene during the Public Day

Objective 3: Environment: control consumption and promote responsible actors

• Limiting waste production, rationalizing consumption (eliminating single-use plastic, energy management)
• Use eco-responsible suppliers via a responsible purchasing policy
• Carry out the carbon footprint of the event

Objective 4: Health, safety, and collaboration: Putting the health, safety, and satisfaction of conference participants at the center of our concerns

• Ensure a safe environment for all participants (implementation of a safety policy specific to the event)
• To ensure the good health of the participants by including a medical service during the event
• Fully satisfying the stakeholders through an optimized quality of service and the evaluation of their satisfaction.

Objective 5: Favor local products, take advantage of certification, and transmit innovation outside of space

• Use local suppliers to generate positive local economic spin-offs
• Certify the congress ISO 20121, an international standard, to make it a reference for sustainable development in the space industry
• Be a platform for innovation exchange between space and non-space actors

Small satellites offer important advantages in creating new opportunities for implementing spatially-distributed space-based systems (e.g. Constellations). In this session we focus on new, emerging, or enabling technologies that can be used or are being used to create networked data collection systems via small satellites. Specifically, Session B4.7 focuses on Constellations (e.g. Constellation missions for Earth Observation, IoT/M2M and LEO Communications), distributed architectures (e.g. Distributed SAR systems) and sensor systems and how these low-cost and rapidly delivered technologies offer the potential to fulfill complex user needs, working in coordination with other small or large space infrastructures (e.g. mega-constellations), as well as with airborne or terrestrial assets. Papers should show how cross-platform compatibility (both hardware and software aspects) can be used to enable these systems, any standards that are proposed or adopted, design techniques that enable this cross-platform compatibility, etc. We are particularly interested in technologies that enable small spacecraft to play an important role in upcoming applications, such as (but not limited to) civil security, telecommunications in remote areas, navigation support (e.g., along the new foreseen routes in the Arctic), natural disaster management (e.g., damage assessment and first responders support), and planetary exploration.

This concerns the components design as well as the materials they are made of or lubricants needed for proper functioning. Tanks for storage of cryogenic propellants for launch vehicle application or long term storage of cryogenic liquids require an appropriate material selection and characterization, especially when organic composite materials are considered. Cryogenic insulation for propellant tanks and lines, especially for reusable launch vehicles exposed to aerothermal loads might require a combination with high temperature thermal protection systems. (Foam with metallic protection, vacuum insulated sandwich, stand-off thermal protection…). For the elevated temperature regime, this session includes carbon-carbon and ceramic matrix composites, ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites, ablative materials, ceramic tiles and insulations, together with innovative structural concepts making use of the above, for propulsion systems, launchers, hypersonic vehicles, re-entry vehicles, aero capture, power generation.

The topics to be addressed include advancements in materials applications, novel technical concepts in the rapid prototyping of space systems, and materials and processes for in space manufacturing and construction. Continuous improvements in materials and structural concepts are always needed to achieve extremely demanding goals in performance, reliability, and affordability of space components, especially in terms of greater accuracy/dimensional stability, longer life, greater survivability to both natural and threat environments, and producibility capability for high volume production. Different additive manufacturing (AM) processes are currently used for different materials in the fabrication of metal, ceramic, and plastic parts. New and different processes are being developed for utilization of lunar regolith materials for manufacturing and construction. As a very new technique, AM is strongly emerging due to the capability of optimization of structural parts for space applications as it concerns weight reduction, improvement of mechanical properties and reduction of development and lead times as well as cost reduction. The ability to utilize in situ resources for manufacturing and construction is very attractive for logistics reduction for deep space exploration.

C3. iaf space power symposium.

Reliable energy systems continue to be key for all space missions. The future exploration and development of space depend on new, more affordable and more reliable energy sources of diverse types ranging from the very small to the extraordinarily large. Moreover, the continuing support for space activities by the public requires that these activities are increasingly inserted into the global challenge to transition current terrestrial energy systems into more environmentally friendly, sustainable ones. The space sector has traditionally served as cutting edge precursor for the development of some renewable power systems. These activities are now put into a much larger space & energy perspective. These range from joint technology development up to visionary concepts such as space solar power plants. The Space Power Symposium, organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), addresses all these aspects, covering the whole range from power generation, energy conversion & storage, power management, power transmission & distribution at system and sub-system levels including commercial considerations. It will include, but not be restricted, to topics such as advanced solar and nuclear systems for spacecraft power and propulsion, novel power generation and energy harvesting, and examine the prospects for using space-based power plants to provide energy remotely to the Earth or other planets.

D1.7. Lessons Learned in Space Systems

Lessons learned are essential to significantly improve space projects implementation practices and, in turn, increase their success-rate. Collecting and sharing information regarding analysis of past and recent successes/failures is deemed the key element to support that and, in addition, it is also highly valuable since it can foster setting up of a collaborative paradigm where people from different Systems Engineering & Management cultures, in different projects, and at different maturity stages, share knowledge among teams, organizations and people, to contribute to the above common practice. For the above practice to be effective, this retrospective viewpoint shall come from a variety of sources. In this regard, the scope of the D1.7 session covers the full spectrum of a space project life-cycle activities such as: project management and systems engineering; systems and missions design; systems MAIVT (manufacturing, assembly, integration, verification, and testing); mission execution, systems exploitation, and post-mission evaluation. Additional added-value can also come from discussion and examination on side-aspects (yet important) as: diversity of standards/practices including lessons learned yielded from their adoption interpretation and application; as well as project-data management approaches (design results, engineering models, documentation, mission results, etc.) to preserve and make them available to future missions.

D3. 22nd iaa symposium on building blocks for future space exploration and development.

This symposium, organised by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), will involve papers and discussion that traverse a wide range of highly valuable future space capabilities (FSC) – in other words “building blocks” for future space exploration, development and discovery – that could enable dramatic advances in global space goals and objectives. The international discussion of future directions for space exploration and utilisation is fully underway, including activities involving all major space-faring nations. Decisions are now being made that will set the course for space activities for many years to come. New approaches are needed that establish strategies, architectures, concepts and technologies that will lead to sustainable human and robotic space exploration and utilisation during the coming decades. The symposium will examine the possible paths, beginning with current capabilities such as the International Space Station, which may lead to ambitious future opportunities for space exploration, discovery and benefits. The sessions that comprise this symposium are key elements of current or planned International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) studies.

D3.1. Strategies & Architectures as the Framework for Future Building Blocks in Space Exploration and Development

Future scenarios for sustainable exploration and development in space will unfold in the context of global conditions that vary greatly from those of the 1950s-1970s (the first generation of space programmes, driven by international competition), or those of the 1980s-2000s (the second generation of space programmes, enabled by international cooperation). Looking to the future, it is likely that space-faring countries will pursue their goals and objectives in a more building-block fashion focused on developing high-value future space capabilities, rather than through massive, geo-politically driven programmes. Increasingly, these developments may also reflect future commercial space opportunities. As a result, it is important that the international community should engage in an ongoing discussion of strategies and architectures to frame a “building block” approach to our future in space. Such a discussion should involve sustainable budgets and multiple-purpose system-of-systems capabilities that lead to a diverse range of future activities of broad benefit to humanity. This session, which is related to a prospective new International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) study group, will address strategies and architectural approaches that may allow a new paradigm, a “building block” approach, to be established among the space-faring countries. Papers are solicited in these and related areas.

D4.1. Innovative Concepts and Technologies

1) In order to realize future, programs of space exploration and resource utilization, a focused suite of transformational new system concepts and enabling technologies must be developed during the coming decades. The technical objectives to be pursued should be drawn from a broad, forward-looking view of the technologies and system needed, but must be sufficiently focused, to allow tangible progression and dramatic improvements over current capabilities. 2) Ideally, the concepts should be presented in three categories: 1. Concepts which represent a significant advance, but require laboratory advancement, and 2. Concepts which have been demonstrated to some level in the laboratory, but require demonstration to validate their utility, and 3. Concepts which identify cross-cutting advances which, when combined can be successfully developed to support transformational new system concept. Papers are solicited in these and related areas

Moon Village is a concept that brings together efforts, world-wide, from the private sector, governments, academics and others to explore and use the Moon in a sustainable manner. Moon Village is a community of projects carried out by stakeholders from different fields (for example, technical, scientific, cultural, economic) working together. The implementation of the Moon Village has already started with missions and activities in line with its spirit, It is a major step forward for the peaceful development of humankind. Moon Village can offer a new start to humanity on the Moon and on the Earth by contributing to solve global societal issues. The session will discuss the contributions of the Moon Village to the solution of global challenges (e.g., energy, population, sustainable development, many others). How the Moon Village will support the understanding of the global societal issues and bring benefits to society on a global scale will also be discussed. The session will include also the identification of the related technologies that need to be developed. The definition of a roadmap complementary to the UN Agenda 2030 will be also discussed.

D4.3. Modern Day Space Elevator Transformational Strengths and their Applications

Modern Day Space Elevator design concepts are driven from many arenas. The customer is of course the first driver of design for the future; however, the transformational strengths determine the mission fulfillment. Once the 100,000 km tether is in place and the tether climbers start raising customer payloads, the remarkable characteristics will start to dominate the movement of mass for customers. This symposia will address how the following characteristics impact mission success for the customers: (a) Unmatched efficiencies with daily, routine, safe, and inexpensive delivery of logistics payloads, (b) Unmatched massive movement (initial operational capability (IOC) at 30,000 tonnes/yr with full operational capability (FOC) 170,000 tonnes/yr), (c) Unmatched velocity (starting at 7.76 km/sec at 100,000 altitude enables rapid transits to the Moon, Mars and beyond), (d), Ensures environmentally neutral operations as a green road to space, (e) Reduces rocket fairing design limitations, (f) Assembly at the top of the gravity well, and (g) Transforming the economic strengths of strategic investment, ubiquitous access, and uninterrupted exchange of resources. The Keynote Speech for this technical session will be entitled the "Jerome Pearson Memorial Lecture."

D4.4. Strategies for Rapid Implementation of Interstellar Missions: Precursors and Beyond

Knowledge about space beyond our solar system and between the stars—that is interstellar space —is lacking data. Even as IBEX, NASA’s Interstellar Background Explorer, studies the edge of our solar system, it still is confined to earth orbit. Arguably, some of the most compelling data to understand the universe we live in will come from sampling the actual environment beyond our solar system as Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft are on the threshold of doing. In the 36 years since the Voyager probes’ launches, significant advances in materials science, analytical chemistry, information technologies, imaging capabilities, communications and propulsion systems have been made. The recently released IAA study: “Key Technologies to Enable Near-Term Interstellar Scientific Precursor Missions” along with significant initiatives like the DARPA seed-funded 100 Year Starship and the Breakthrough Starshot project, signal the need, readiness and benefits to aggressively undertaking interstellar space missions. This session seeks to define specific strategies and key enabling steps to implement interstellar precursor missions within the next 10-15 years. Suggestions for defined projects, payloads, teams, spacecraft and mission profiles that leverage existing technological capacities, yet will yield probes that generate new information about deep space, rapidly exit the solar system and which can be launched before 2040 are sought.

D4.5. Space Resources, the Enabler of the Earth-Moon Econosphere

1) With NASA announcing the Artemis Program to return to the Moon by 2024, and increasing numbers of companies investing in extraterrestrial resource utilization, this session is dominated by technology assessments and legal analyses associated with space resources. 2) In particular, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is seeking commercially developed payloads to exploit lunar resources for supplies, fuel and other consumables. There are many opportunities to participate. 3) One issue which nags U.S. investors is the lack of a legal regime for authorization and continuing oversight of commercial entities seeking to exploit space resources for profit. Fortunately, Luxembourg has defined such a legal regime for its country’s payloads. 4) This session seeks innovative ideas and concepts in the legal and technological regime. This session also seeks willing investors to present concepts for financing concepts to exploit space resources

D5. 57th iaa symposium on safety, quality and knowledge management in space activities.

Increasingly complex challenges around quality, safety, and security reflect how a space system can be developed and operated to perform its functions at its best with the proper robustness. In that environment, where radiation is not the least stress and possible ill-intentioned actions may occur, decreasing the level of failures in space activities is a must. Knowledge management (the proper capturing, protecting, and sharing of knowledge) and application of lessons learned and experience are key factors. This International Academy of Astronautics Symposium will be a lively discussion and raise awareness of new and innovative approaches to: obtain and run reliable and safe space systems: design solutions, validation, and tests; software development, validation, and security; and methods, management approaches, and regulations to improve the quality, efficiency, and collaborative ability of space programs and operations. All aspects are considered: risk management, complexity and security of systems and operations, knowledge and information management, human factors, economical constraints, international cooperation, norms, and standards.

D5.1. For a successful space program: Quality and Safety!

Space is a difficult challenge, and no complex program can be successful without a creative and thoughtful approach to quality and safety! Relying on luck cannot be the only way to proceed! Beginners or veterans, for training, for science or for industry, for small or large programs, share your projects, methods, observations, analyses of successes or failures... This session deals with methods, tests, standards for the analysis and mitigation of the many risks to maintain the desired quality and required safety. It offers an opportunity to discuss all aspects of the life cycle (including design, development and production philosophy, operations) and the associated risk management approach. It concerns all types of space missions: transportation systems, orbital systems, exploration vehicles, and is also a management, manpower and education issue.

D5.2. Emerging trends of knowledge management in organizations

Digital transformation and innovations, such as cloud computing, new collaboration tools, intelligent search technologies, AI, are changing how people access and share the knowledge. Therefore, knowledge management needs to evolve adapting to the new environment and users needs. Technology is undoubtedly a big part of the growing need for a more effective knowledge management. Although technology plays crucial roles, KM will fail if end users and stakeholders are not in the centre of the strategy, design, implementation, and operations. Key themes addressed during the session are trends, innovations, concerns as well as practical challenges encountered, and solutions and technologies adopted in the field of Knowledge Management in Organisations to sustain, energise and invigorate the ability to learn, innovate, and share knowledge. The session aims to include case studies that demonstrate how KM strategies have been applied and the lessons learned, the challenges faced by the organizations, and innovative solutions that facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration as well as search mechanisms.

D5.3. Prediction, Testing, Measurement and Effects of space environment on space missions

The space environment can strongly impact the performance and reliability of space missions. It has several natural and induced components, including high-energy radiation, plasma, atomic oxygen, planetary dust, extreme temperature, vacuum, micro-gravity, micrometeoroid and debris, molecular and particulate contamination, etc. Environmental conditions yield constraints at design phase, and consideration of significant risks in the course of the mission. The evaluation of the nominal and worst-case conditions to be met, mitigation and protection options, and of their impact on missions and flight systems are thus of prime importance. This session will encompass the following topics: Space Weather, Plasma, Spacecraft Charging, Radiation, Atomic Oxygen, Planetary Dust, Molecular and Particulate Contamination, Plume Induced Contamination Effects and Interactions, and Combined Environments. The key themes addressed during this session are flight measurements, physical processes, prediction of nominal and worst-case conditions, ground-based testing, flight experiments and lessons learned.

E3.3. Space Economy Session – A focus on space sustainable operations and the role of governments l to stimulate sustainable economic development for both in space and on earth.

Economic motivations towards space sustainability Space sustainability will be a theme and a topic of concern for the International Astronautical Congress this year. This session will prioritize papers addressing the economics of sustainability. Sustainability may refer to the space environment itself, such as debris in orbits or on celestial bodies, the allocation of spectrum, or the Earth’s environment and related climate issues involving space activities. Examples of more specific economic topics should involve identifiable objectives of sustainability such as: government funded R&D and specific programs incentives or regulatory actions involving private sector space initiatives, cost-benefit analyses, and quantification of risk and impact assessments of space activities. Impacts from such programs on the Earth are also important elements of economic studies of space sustainability.

E3.4. Assuring a Safe, Secure and Sustainable Environment for Space Activities

Space launches from Earth have long been the defining technical and legal qualification for states and other entities desiring to engage in the exploration and utilization of the outer space region. Representing a hard-won scientific and technological achievement, space launches are also the basis for assigning legal jurisdiction, supervision, and liability to the launching state under the five foundational outer space treaties. Rapidly growing numbers of non-governmental commercial space companies and facilities are soon moving space launch operations to the Moon and other celestial bodies, augmenting and in some cases replacing governmental space launch entities. Prospects for an extensive expansion of deep space explorations on the Moon, asteroids, and planets will include a greatly diversified range of space launch technologies and regulatory regimes. Space exploration will require both crewed and uncrewed launches, while sample return missions from asteroids, planets, and their moons will also feature dynamically evolving technologies as well as concerns for contamination and environmental protection. This 37th Joint IAA IISL Roundtable will examine the scientific, technical, legal, and regulatory aspects of space launches from celestial bodies.

E3.5-E7.6. 38th IAA/IISL Scientific Legal Roundtable: "Cyberspace Security in Outer Space: Scientific, Technical and Legal Dimensions of a Dilemma"

(Invited papers only, please do not submit abstracts as these will be rejected) Outer space and cyberspace are realms opened to human exploration and exploitation through scientific discovery, technological innovation and increasingly, commercial application. Spacecraft operating in near-earth orbital regions or in inter-planetary expanses rely on forms of electronic communication, often referred to as “cyberspace” to carry out their missions. Best practices and usage norms to ensure safe passage through outer space have evolved as direct counterparts to the rules and norms governing use of the radio spectrum and telecommunications technologies to avoid harmful, mission-endangering radio frequency interference. The technological shift to Internet-based telecommunications infrastructures is exposing space-based systems to terrestrial cyber-disruptions that are challenging long-standing technological practices and governance regimes in outer space. On-going earthbound military hostilities employing cyber-disruptions rooted in Internet network architectural vulnerabilities are already disabling or interfering with space-based communications. This IAA-IISL Roundtable will discuss whether scientific/technological trends as well as governance institutions and rules are sufficient to ensure space activities and systems may operate in a setting of cyber-security and not cyber-disruption.

E3.6. Space Sector’s Commercial Transformation: Procurement Opportunities and Financial Transparency

The space sector is experiencing a significant shift towards commercialization. Private companies and investors are taking on roles that were once solely the domain of government Space Agencies, such as satellite launches, human space flights or in the future, space resource mining. This shift is opening doors to new economic opportunities and attracting investments from various industries. Simultaneously, space agencies are reassessing their procurement practices to encourage competition and involvement of the private sector. Traditional procurement models are being re-evaluated to foster innovation and cost-effectiveness. Initiatives such as public-private partnerships are examples of procurement approaches that aim to leverage private industry capabilities. As the space sector increasingly embraces commercialization and private sector involvement, there is a greater focus on financial transparency and accountability. To ensure that funds are utilized efficiently and in line with established regulations, regular audits by government agencies [and stakeholders] are becoming more critical to assess financial practices and avoid mismanagement of resources. The purpose of this session is to discuss the procurement and financial consequences of an increasing shift towards commercialization and to exchange on measures taken to ensure transparency and accountability from Industry and Space Agencies’ perspectives. The session will be divided in two parts: the first being a panel discussion on the topic and the second part in which authors are invited to provide abstracts dealing with the subject.

E5.3. Contemporary Arts Practice and Outer Space: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach

Since the late 1970s a number of artists have been negotiating access to space facilities and organisations, critiquing or making experiential the exploration and utilisation of space, or re-purposing space technology, materials or data independently or in direct exchange with the space sector. Today this important practice is branching into a several directions, ranging from performance, installation, video, or conceptual work situated in space or space analogous environments themselves, to commercial gallery contexts and the realm of participation and public engagement with science. This session addresses the practice of contemporary artists who have developed new ways to appropriate space for their work, the conceptual and practical foundations of their engagement, and the implications of this emerging aesthetic paradigm for both the fields of space and art. Submissions are welcome from artists and art historians, and from space industry and space agency representatives as well as from the cultural sector facilitating or programming related -projects crossing over the increasingly blurred boundaries of creative practice.

The 2024 IISL Colloquium focuses on how the latest technological developments are impacting the development of the law of outer space, and on whether space law should embrace new fields of activities, such as cyber, within its scope. The Colloquium looks at current discussions about questions related to the ethics and understanding of what is meant by treaty law terms freedom of exploration and use. It examines how space situational awareness (SSA), space surveillance and tracking (SST) can be integrated as elements within a greater framework for effective space traffic management. It serves as a forum to discuss developments of national space law as a constitutive element of the overall framework of space law enforcing and detailing the principles and general norms of space law, in particular within the field of security. It looks at whether existing legal concepts, particularly responsibility and liability for autonomous systems driven by artificial intelligence, are sufficiently regulated, and whether there is a homogenous approach to licensing at national level. It also provides insights as to how disruptive NewSpace activities can and should be accommodated by space law.

E7.2. Near Space: Legal Aspects of Aerospace Activities

In the last few years, technology is focusing not only on the use of outer space, but also of near space. The use of sub-orbital flights for testing purposes, the use of high-altitude platforms for communication, are only two examples of many. The panel invites authors to deliberate the challenges arising from the applicability of both air and space law. It discusses the future models for such activities, including the proposal on sub-orbital flights elaborated by the International Law Association, (ILA).

E7.3. Artificial Intelligence and Safe Space Communication

At first sight, the use of AI raises legal questions connected with the attributability and liability for space activities; the establishment of fault in the event of damage in outer space then becomes even more complex in the process. However, this is not the full picture: The panel discusses not only the challenges AI brings to the present legal framework for outer space activities, but deliberates the legal steps designed to assist space assets reduce their vulnerability.

E7.4. Launching into Outer Space

The original way of launching objects into outer space – one rocket, one object- has been revolutionized already long time ago. Today’s technology can use reusable launchers, multiply the load of space objects, and develop methods such as launching from sea platforms, ships, airplanes, or space objects themselves. Also new countries are joining the family of launching States. This situation opens questions connected with the applicability of the Liability Convention, with contracts, insurance, liability, and fault. The panel deliberates the legal setup of the present and planned spaceports, and the challenges they are facing.

E7.5. Alternative Space Rules Setting

The UN space treaties were elaborated in the 60ties and 70ties; since the Moon Agreement, no universal space law agreement was agreed upon in the UN COPUOS. However, many other rules are existing which have direct influence on space activities: In some cases, international and regional standards and other recommendatory norms are replacing binding international framework. The panel will discuss whether the consensus principle can be replaced by alternative space norms setting or and under which conditions these two bodies of rules can complement each other.

E7.7. Regional Space Legislation

The last years are facing a growing intensity of regional space law setting: The US initiated the recommendatory Artemis Accords, the Chinese-Russian MoU presupposes a creation of an International Lunar Research Station, and the European Union who adopted a space Directive only recently is working on the enlargement of its space legislation. The panel analyses the regional space law and its implementation and discusses its interplay with the UN legal framework.

E8. iaa multilingual astronautical terminology symposium.

This symposium, organized by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), will review the progress made in multilingual space terminology and its impact on international cooperation in space. Terminology is a key issue for a better understanding among people using various languages and dialects. Consecutive or simultaneous translation does not remove the risk of ambiguity during technical meetings and accuracy in terminology is essential during all phases of cooperation. The session will address issues such as standardization of definitions in space science and technology. The specific character of emerging space countries will also be discussed.

E9. IAF SYMPOSIUM ON SECURITY, STABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF SPACE ACTIVITIES

This symposium, organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), will address two major issues regarding safe and secure operations of space systems via two separate sessions: i) policy, legal, institutional and economic aspects of space debris detection, mitigation and removal, jointly with the IAA Symposium on Space Debris, and, ii) cyber security threats to space missions and countermeasures to address them, jointly with the IAA Symposium on Safety, Quality and Knowledge Management on Space Activities. Papers dealing with non-technical aspects of space debris mitigation and removal, as well as planetary defence against asteroid impact threats, and case studies focusing on countermeasures needs, including cryptography processes, operational security, supply chain and other aspects relevant to ensure a “cyber secure” mission will be well received in this Symposium.

E9.1-A6.8. Policy, Legal, Institutional, Economic and Security Aspects of Debris Mitigation, Debris Remediation and STM

E9.2. cyber-based security threats to space missions: establishing the legal, institutional and collaborative framework to counteract them.

The increasingly pervasive network connectivity following the Internet explosion introduces a whole new families of cyber-security threats to space missions. To send commands to a spacecraft now you would not need to build a ground station, but you can penetrate from your home or office the existing ground infrastructures, bypassing their protection measures, from anywhere in the world. The questions to be addressed in the session will span across the following issues: - What is the interest of cyber-crime and cyber-activism with respect to space activities? - How are aerospace organisations managing the ability to introduce the right level of security measures in the process to plan and develop new missions? - What legal and protection framework is or has to be put in place to enable secure cooperation across corporate and international boundaries? - How is knowledge about security threats captured, shared, and used to follow the evolution of cyber threats? - Which ones of these specific threats are to be expected to target space missions, from the ground and from space? - What is particularly to be expected from the cyber-space to target outer space? Contribution are expected to focus on cyber-specific legislation, best practices, processes, collaboration methods between law enforcement and institutional partners, and any other aspects of the organization of space missions that are all constituting the formal components to keep a mission “cyber secure”.

E9.3. Norms and Standards for Safe and Responsible Behaviour in Space

The rapid expansion and evolution of the global space arena is characterized by an increasing number and diversity of space actors and the emergence of new kinds of space systems, some of which involve very large constellations of satellites numbering in the thousands to tens of thousands, and also new kinds of space activities, such as on-orbit servicing, refueling, in-orbit assembly and manufacturing, active debris removal, and so on. With increasing congestion in the Earth’s orbital environment, these new kinds of space activities raise questions about the safety of space operations, particularly when contingency situations arise (such as conjunctions), or when spacecraft operate in close proximity to each other and there are no clear, widely accepted international standards or norms of behaviour. For this reason, it is important to identify and leverage best practices from government and industry to ensure safety of flight and safe rendezvous and proximity operations of spacecraft. These best practices may subsequently be codified as norms and standards for safe and responsible behaviour in space. This session is intended to be a forum to allow practitioners to discuss and socialize the types of norms, standards and behaviours that would be conducive to the safety of space operations.

Gts. global technical symposium.

The Global Technical Symposium (GTS) is designed to offer a modern and eclectic platform at the IAC for sharing technical content to an open minded audience on-site but also online! Jointly organized by associated technical committees and the Workforce Development-Young Professional Programme Committee, these sessions are similar to the conventional technical sessions in terms of abstract selection and paper submissions. However, in addition to the on-site presentation of the technical papers, these sessions are also broadcast online. Authors are allowed to present remotely or on-site, and participants are also allowed to listen to the session from the comfort of their homes or at their workplaces in addition to the IAC venue. The IAF hopes that this approach will enable more students and young professionals without the ability to join IAC on-site to contribute to discussion at the IAC.

Privacy Overview

Isak and Felicity travelled to Paris earlier this month to support iPoster sessions at the 73rd International Astronautical Congress . Each year the IAC is organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). This year the event was hosted by CNES, the French space agency. There were participants from over 80 countries across the world taking part.

There were over 800 iPosters presented on 50 screens across 3 poster sessions throughout the event. We were really impressed to see the level of engagement and effort put into the presentations and how quickly the very large presentation hall filled up with participants.
