Online

We are happy to host the third edition of the ‘Alumni End of the Year Party’! This online event will bring together SGAC alumni and members to share their past SGAC experiences and celebrate the last year!

Fast and Accurate Probability of Collision Toolkits for Near-Earth and Cislunar Applications

Zoom

With increasing traffic in near-Earth and Cislunar space, it has become essential to develop fast and accurate methods of predicting collisions between space objects. This is an important topic of discussion in current Space Situational Awareness (SSA) domain research. Orbit determination methods provide users with a state and an uncertainty associated with an object in space. This tells the user where the spacecraft is and with what percent certainty. Because there are limited observation resources, it is essential to have the ability to propagate this information to desired times accurately. Generally, this is accomplished using numerical Monte Carlo methods, where a point cloud of millions of points is taken from the initial uncertainty and each of these points are propagated to the final time. This is highly accurate with a large number of points but adds to a high computational expense. To minimize this cost, we look for analytical and semi-analytical methods that are faster but can still reach good statistical accuracy. This seminar will focus on an introduction to SSA, collision prediction methods, and the semi-analytical toolkits developed to achieve fast and accurate collision probabilities. The target audience is students and young professionals interested in SSA research and tools.

Your Community in Space: UKSEDS x SGAC

Zoom

We'll explore the power of your community in building your potential in the Space industry. Community means connections, shared goals, inspiration, and opportunities. It's not just about reaching for the stars; it's about doing it together!

Space Careers Workshop – North & South America

Zoom

This workshop is part of SGAC's Space Mentoring Program and will be open to existing SGAC mentees and selected registrants of the wider public. The objective is to inspire students and young professionals about the space sector, enhance the visibility of role models in the field, and increase mentorship opportunities for the next generation of youth from the Americas.

Achieving Net Zero: A Space Industry Perspective

Zoom

In the NCAC Policy & Advocacy Webinar Series, we discuss policy topics relevant to the NCAC region with an international lens. For this webinar, we will discuss the impacts of the space industry on Earth’s climate and pathways to “net zero” emissions and environmentally friendly practices.

Space Generation Leadership Forum

Zoom

The SGAC Space Education & Professional Development team is inviting you, our SGAC volunteering team members, to our internal professional development event - the SpaceGen Leaders Forum (SGLF). Started in 2021 and recently revived, SGLF will now be an annual platform to commemorate and enhance the visibility of initiatives, instances of leadership, and efforts across all volunteers within SGAC. This edition of SGLF will be to showcase the work carried out in 2023, with a full-fledged version to be expected by the end of the year for 2024.

Terraforming Ascension: The Legacy of a Victorian era Geo-engineering Project on the conception of Space Colonization and Space Conservation

Zoom

The webinar will discuss the film TerraForma made by Kevin Brennan and Laurence Durkin and the lessons learned from the film's subjects on terraforming and landscape transformation. Science writer Oliver Morton and architect and writer Fred Scharmen who are both interviewed in the film will speak about their work in relation to the film's themes and subjects.

Search for Life in Space

Zoom

Get the answers to your questions about the search for life in the Universe! Our guest is Dr. Adrienne Kish, the Associate Professor in Astrobiology from Muséum National d'Histoire National (MNHN), France. Her research projects aim to understand what are the limits of life, why such limits exist, and how the conditions found on other planets could affect bacterial life as we know it!

SGAC France Interactive Webinar – 2024

Zoom

Are you new to SGAC? Would you like to connect with other SGAC members in France? Would you like to know more on how to be more active within the organisation? Then join us on March 19th from 7:30pm to 9pm CEST for a new SGAC France Interactive Webinar! During the webinar, we will have several presentations and activities related to the theme of space sustainability, to align the SG[France] 2024 and IAC theme, but also breakout rooms related to various topics! You will also have the opportunity to win your ticket to the SG[France]2024 event in Lyon!
