CSP - GLOBAL SPACE & TECHNOLOGY CONVENTION 2017 - Technical Breakout Sessions
Abstract
The Global Space & Technology Convention (Singapore, 23 & 24 Feb 2017) will convene industry experts and scientists in the emerging new areas of space & technology.Over 200 international, high level technical experts, CTOs will attend GSTC to share their findings, enhance their learning and explore partnerships with one another.The meeting will advance industry partnerships with scientists, government and intergovernmental agencies to increase potential on technical partnership, prototyping, testing and validation or new research areas for faster and higher rate of modern day satellite deployment and data processing, and application of the data, and in satellite communications security.The technical sessions / topics are:~ -Earth Observation & NavigationThe development of Earth-observation techniques based on the use of navigation signals provides an opportunity to acquire data that is useful, for instance, detecting weather fronts in the regions where the receivers are deployed and more generally for improving weather forecasts. Today, regional and global networks of ground GPS receivers are in place providing data for both geodetic and meteorological applications.In this session, experts will share their developments in Earth Observation & Navigation, its critical technical challenges and potential opportunities to break through. These will enable the developments of better applications that can be adapted to enhance maritime security (e.g. to counter piracy and smuggling).~ -Emerging Launch Options for Micro SatellitesThe proliferation of mega constellations scheduled to come online over the next decade has placed huge demands for dedicated launch of Micro and Nano satellites. New start-up such as Rocket Lab and Firefly have started the development of dedicated launcher to meet this demand. However, there are still many risks and technical unknowns. In this session, experts will share on the technical challenges on these new launches, and also the technological benefits it can bring to the space industry to inspire greater collaborations to develop safer breakthrough capabilities. With the enhancement of launch capabilities, there are opportunities to correspondingly enhance Maritime Domain Awareness.~ -Space Situational AwarenessAs satellites are becoming more necessary for communications, exploration, environmental monitoring, disaster risk mitigation and response, navigation and territorial security, it is important to ensure the safety and protection of ones~ satellites. The increase of various threats to the national space infrastructure such as cyber-attacks, space debris, collisions with other satellites and anti-satellite instruments are posing real danger that can cripple a nation~s capability. In this session, experts will share on the latest trends and developments in space situation awareness and explore potential partnerships to further develop these capabilities. ~ -Sat-Com Cyber SecurityThe ability to interrupt, inspect, modify, redirect traffic or modify the behaviour of the devices connected to a network provides an instrumental opportunity to perform reconnaissance, disable or modify the functionality of specific system. In this session, technical experts will share on the current threats and explore areas and gaps for systems to be further developed to isolate and deny cascading cyber attacks. This is key to ensure and secure support for Humanitarian Assistance during disasters, both man-made and natural and enable effective disaster response.~ -Space Innovative ApplicationsToday~s society faces many new challenges. With megacities evolving, city systems are more complex, increasing the demand for modern day security and communications. This session will feature experts who will share their innovative ideas on how space / satellite capabilities can enhance security, for maritime, border control and on-land. On top of that, there will be discussions on how these innovative applications can result in more
