Global Space and Technology Convention 2023
Abstract
The Global Space and Technology Convention (GSTC), happening from 14 - 16 Feb 2023 in Singapore, will convene industry experts, academia, scientists and government representatives in the emerging new areas of space & technology. Some 800 international, high leveltechnical experts, CTOs and representatives will attend GSTC to share their findings, enhance their learning and explore partnerships with one another. The convention will advance industry partnerships with scientists, engineers, government and intergovernmental agencies to increase potential on technical partnership, prototyping, testing and validation in new research areas for faster and safer rate of modern-day satellite & spacecraft deployment, data processing, data application, secured communication and exploration.Key technical sessions / topics are as follow:Satellite SystemsSatellite systems play a pivotal role in special operations by enabling accurate in real time reconnaissance, uninterrupted secured communicationsand efficient peacetime operations. We aim to understandthe current and future research and development of satellite systems that are customized for defence operations, and the challengesin bridging the supply and demand perspectives of such technologies.Space Based Terrestrial OperationsSociety is increasingly becoming data driven. But gathering usable data and analyzing big data in an accurate and timely manner is still a challenge. Global collaborations on Ground-Station-As-A-Service have already shown the possibilities of solving such challenges. Exploring opportunities in solving these challenges through the proliferation of space technologies could lead to an interesting future with endless possibilities. Secured Communications and CybersecurityWith the advent of Web 3.0 and Web 4.0 peeking just over the horizon, companies are looking into space to host data centers and provide fast and secured communications. As computing and communication protocols evolve,so do the threats;and as satellites still can#t be easily modified in-orbit, these future threats have to be analyzed to build satellites that are hardware ready in the long run. GNSS for Autonomous TransportationAs the world heads towards smart technologies, uninterrupted satellite connectivity for positioning data becomes paramount. Autonomous Transportation is a fast-growing sector of smart technologies that has the potential to revolutionize the way society views and uses automobiles including in the defence sector. Understanding the opportunities and challenges faced by GNSS satellite operators will help us to plan the distribution of resources in this sector to meet the needs of the world tomorrow.Space Life SciencesAs efforts towards space exploration restart and more research is being done in the areas of bioengineering in a microgravity environment, it is paramount to understand the uses of such developments. Apart from allowing us to better understand genomics and precision print organs in space, biotech research and development in the space industry also paves the road for other technologies which translate to terrestrial uses like food preservation and water purification systems. These could mean lighter loads and longer deployment for troops.Advanced TechnologiesEmerging technologies in the Space sector look towards solving long standing problems and creating newer more sustainable opportunities which are applicable to Earth applications. Gaining insight to the latest in methodology and technology can aid better solutions for the Earth#s future. In-space manufacturing, 3D printing, cloud storage, robotics and more are expanding the horizons of research and development to name a few.
