SUMMARY:Fast and Accurate Probability of Collision Toolkits for Near-Earth and Cislunar Applications
DESCRIPTION: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. \nSpeaker: Yashica Khatri \n\n\n\nYashica Khatri has just defended her PhD at the University of Colorado Boulder\, focusing in Astrodynamics and Satellite Navigation (ASN). Her research is in Space Situational Awareness (SSA)\, specifically\, developing semi-analytical methods of conjunction analysis to predict the probability of collision with high speed and accuracy. She grew up in India and received her B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott\, Arizona in May 2018. At Embry-Riddle\, Yashica was a part of various honors societies\, diversity and educational organizations\, and the ERAU’s competitive Golden Eagles Flight Team. She also started a Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) chapter and assisted in bringing a Delta Phi Epsilon sorority chapter to the Embry-Riddle campus. She completed her M.S. at the University of Colorado Boulder in May 2020 and started the PhD with the Celestial and Spaceflight Mechanics Laboratory (CSML) soon after. Here\, she was named a 2021 Amelia Earhart Fellow and a 2022 Tau Beta Pi (TBP) Fellow. At CU she has been involved with the Aerospace Graduate Student Organization (AGSO)\, Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics (WoAA) India\, and Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC). During her undergraduate and graduate studies\, Yashica interned at Merit Engineering\, Collins Aerospace\, OneWeb\, and SpaceNav. Yashica is currently the Co-Lead of the SGAC Mentoring Program.\n\n\n\n \nREGISTER HERE  \n  \n

Private players are taking center stage in this new ecosystem as they strive on doing space business independently of governments in the long run. \nAsia’s spacefaring nations have autonomously established their own strategies and ecosystems for space operations that are entrenched in their dominant political\, commercial\, and economic regional landscapes. Therefore\, the time has come to address the space ecosystem from a technological\, commercial\, and socioeconomic perspective with a goal to facilitate the sustainable development of the NewSpace ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region. \n

SUMMARY:SSA through Optical Sensors - Observatory Development using COTS Equipment
DESCRIPTION:Proliferating space debris is the paramount global challenge that the space community is facing. At present\, there is no global space traffic management system and there is a serious lack of consensus on sensitive thresholds when it comes to conjunction analysis and collision avoidance. In order to raise awareness about the nuances of the dynamic space environment and traffic management\, hands-on experience with SSA sensors especially from the academic sector can bring a paradigm shift in our understanding. Using small telescopes in large quantities and in a distributed fashion for use of space objects detection\, tracking\, and characterization has the potential to bring valuable insights into the space sustainability domain. With an evolving distributed network controlled by a consortium of universities and young professors\, the complicated technical nuances of the space debris problem can be addressed. In the last two decades\, the equipment manufacturers for deep space astronomy have made significant technical progress. These days\, commercially off-the-shelf and ready-to-be integrated astronomical equipment can be used to set up a research-grade SDA observatory on a low budget and in very less time. At present\, there is a serious lack of a number of SDA sensors around the world. In order to bridge the gap between the number of observations needed for accurate Space Traffic Management (STM) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA)\, stakeholders from academia and societal domains have to play an active role. This can be initiated by the use of optical observatories for sustainability purposes. This webinar will focus on how to build an optical observatory for the aforementioned purposes. The targeted audience will be young professionals\, especially from emerging countries that do not have any SDA optical observatories. By promoting awareness of the use of telescopes for SSA\, SDA\, and STM purposes\, emerging space-faring nations can play an active role in data acquisition and processing. \n  \nREGISTER HERE  \n  \n  \nConfirmed Speakers:  \nMahhad Nayyer is an astrodynamicist by profession and an ardent advocate of space sustainability. Mahhad’s areas of expertise are orbital mechanics\, space mission analysis and design\, spacecraft design\, human spaceflight\, and systems engineering. In particular\, Mahhad is pursuing the impactful role that emerging space economies/countries can play in the evolution of a global Space Traffic Management (STM) system/best practices. Mahhad is starting his graduate studies on the same topic at Purdue University starting Fall 2023. After high school\, Mahhad was awarded the Department of State International Cadet Exchange Programme scholarship\, letting him study and train at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. His academic area of concentration was orbital mechanics and spacecraft design within the major field of Astronautical Engineering. Mahhad is the recipient of several young professional awards and accolades including IAF Emerging Space Leader 2022 and AIAA ASCEND Diverse Dozen 2022. In 2020\, Mahhad enrolled in a postgraduate master’s programme in Space Systems Engineering and Business Engineering offered by Graz University of Technology\, Austria. As the astrodynamics lead\, Mahhad led his cohort’s SMAD design for a sub-geo CubeSat constellation capable of providing detection\, tracking\, characterisation\, and inspection services for geostationary and nearby anthropogenic space objects. His graduate research focussed on sensor pre-processing\, data acquisition\, image post-processing\, orbit determination\, cataloguing framework\, and correlation of geostationary objects. Mahhad is an active member of SSS Project Group and aims to contribute in projects related to space sustainability. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Drugs in Space
DESCRIPTION:Pharmaceuticals (used to diagnose\, treat\, cure or prevent disease) suffer from lack of stability on Earth and even more so in space. Over the next few decades\, there are plans for human space missions to the Moon and\, even further\, to Mars. What could be done to limit the degradation of pharmaceuticals (due to time/radiation/altered gravity) during deep space travel to keep the astronaut crew healthy and safe? What about manufacturing drugs in space? How can this knowledge help us to fight diseases here on Earth? And\, of course.. What is it like to be a space pharmacist? We have invited Dr. Marlise Araujo dos Santos (a Brazilian space pharmacology expert) and Paul Kamoun to inform us on the challenges and opportunities within the space environment. \nAt the end of the session we will open up the floor for questions. Registration is required to access the webinar.

SUMMARY:Space Climate Datasets and Interpretation for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Increasing access to space data can raise awareness about Earth’s situation. It helps to remove obstacles we have on our planet and change our perspective to see everything from a different angle.\nClimate change is one of the major problems humans face these days and needs social knowledge and engagement to be tackled. But understanding and interpreting Earth Observation datasets is not easy for everyone and it requires expertise. This presents a challenge that not everyone will become aware of the disruptive activities on Earth affecting climate change.\nThe UN SDGs project of the Space Safety and Sustainability Project Group aims to give open access to space-based climate data to the public for increasing social engagement in climate change. This webinar will cover different topics that can help everyone become a local ambassador in their own community and raise awareness about climate data\, data interpretation\, policies and regulations\, and data-sharing platforms.\nBy the end of this webinar\, you will get knowledge about accessible climate datasets\, how to use them and interpret raw data\, methods and platforms for sharing data with the public\, and policies for making space data available. \nAbout Chukwuma Okolie: \nChukwuma Okolie is a Lecturer at the Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics\, University of Lagos.
