Satellites
Day 1 - 7th April

This session will cover all areas of the technology behind satellite building, launching and applications. They are smaller, cheaper and longer lasting than ever and on the increase. With constellations of satellites orbiting earth we analyse the technology and applications.

International Space Partnerships
Day 1 - 7th April

We will explore how the world is collaborating in the peaceful exploration of outer space. What will happen post 2024 when the International Space Station closes its doors for good?

Earth Observation From Space
Day 1 - 7th April

In this session we will be exploring the science, technology and applications of Earth observation for weather prediction, crop monitoring, maritime surveillance, wildlife conservation and disaster mitigation.

Space Technology
Day 1 - 7th April

PVD coatings, advanced propulsion and battery life are some of the aspects being covered on this session Increasing the life span of orbital instruments whilst decreasing the risk of damage.

Big Data
Day 2 - 8th April

In this session we will explore the availability, accuracy and processing technologies for satellite derived data. We will also hear case studies from the Square Kilometre Array – the largest data project in the world.

Biomedical Sciences
Day 2 - 8th April

A vast amount of medical research is done is pace for the benefit of healthcare on Earth. From the studies in zero gravity to the potential in maintaining a healthy environment in orbit, this session will bring together experts for all corners of the globe.

Space Debris and other Threats
Day 2 - 8th April

With over 22,000 instruments orbiting earth currently, the increase of space debris and its inherent risks are a reality. In this session we will deconstruct debris mitigation via policy, orbit prediction and surveillance.

Commercial Space Collaboration
Day 2 - 8th April

Commercial ventures in space are set to become more and more common. We will focus here on space ports, rockets and planes that bring together commercially viable projects and applied research
