"Space Debris and the long overdue Space Clean Up"

"Active Debris Removal (or going up into orbit to bring things down)"

"Active Debris Removal (or going up into orbit to bring things down)"

What is space debris? How much of a threat is it really? What can we do about it? 


These are just a few of the questions that Zoe Tenacci, Systems Engineer at Astroscale, will answer on her talk "Space debris and the long overdue space clean up" and how does Astroscale plan to remove them.

"How to operate a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid millions of kilometres away?"

"How to operate a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid millions of kilometres away?"

From initial mission requirements to flight operation simulation, Sylvain Lodiot from European Space Agency will share his experience as Hera Spacecraft Operation Manager, a position he had on Rosetta and Solar Orbiter.  

"Ingenuity and AI for Autonomous vision-based Navigation"

"How to operate a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid millions of kilometres away?"

"How to operate a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid millions of kilometres away?"

As a robotics technologist, Jeff Delaune was part of the navigation team for NASA’s Mars Helicopter flight project. 


He will explain the key concepts of a mission of such size in terms of state estimation, sensor fusion, perception, computer vision, system engineering and mission design.

"Houston, we have a problem"

"How to operate a spacecraft to deflect an asteroid millions of kilometres away?"

"Houston, we have a problem"

55 years ago at NASA, Jerry Woodfill was the sole Apollo 11 and 13 Spacecraft Warning System Engineer. He was responsible for the Apollo 13 alarm and words, "Houston, we have a problem.” 


Who else but someone that lived it to tell a story?
