Description
Over the last decade, the doors to space have opened wide to private launchers which consequently created opportunities to new stakeholders by developing and implementing innovative services and applications. However, this progress brought also numerous challenges - such as more complex space systems - and risks, like satellite collisions due to highly-occupied orbits. The on-going standardization in this domain aims to provide positive answer to mitigate these dares and, concurrently, to foster innovation within space organizations. This session will allow every participant to understand the process of standardization, the active technical committees, fora and consortia which are supporting space activities, and to identify the standards which are useful for his/her application.
