With the emergence of "New Space" and the arrival of new actors in the space industry, satellite constellations and mega constellations are becoming a reality. Hundreds and soon thousands of satellites will be orbiting the Earth…
This workshop will tackle various aspects related to constellations and mega constellations:

What are they designed for?
Which ones are already there, planned, or about to be deployed?
How can specific challenges be dealt with regards to flight dynamics, mission design, as well as management and operations, including collision avoidance and disposal?
What are consequences on the future space population and the environment?
How do astronomers suffer from light pollution caused by mega constellations?
How should national and international regulations evolve?

You will find below the final program of the workshop.

Below the program, you will also find a button "S'inscrire" or "Register" that you must follow to receive the Zoom link to connect to the workshop.
The registration deadline is set to May, 26, 23:00 CEST. The link will only be sent to registered participants on May, 27.
