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.

SG[Azerbaijan] 2024

Baku Convention Center 9VW8+X5W, Tabriz St, Baku, Baku, Azerbaijan

The event is to be held under the theme of Beyond Horizons: Sustaining Space, Sustaining Earth, and it aims to synergize discussions on sustainability and space, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the intersection between these two critical domains.

SG[Bolivia] ONLINE WORKSHOP 2024

The SG[Bolivia] Online Workshop will be an local event whose purpose is to see the new horizons for the space industry in Bolivia.

Astronomy and Satellite Constellations

Zoom

You may have heard there are thousands of commercial satellites in low-Earth orbit and many more vying to launch soon. These satellites all reflect sunlight to various degrees and are changing the game for all ground-based observers worldwide. Join Dr. Meredith Rawls, astronomy researcher at UW/Rubin Observatory and satellite mitigation leader at the IAU CPS (cps.iau.org), to learn what is happening, how astronomers are responding, and what you can do to help preserve and protect our skies.
