May 19, 2020 - On 1st - 2nd September 2020, a host of military, space agencies, regulators and industry professionals will convene in London to discuss the growing importance of the small satellite industry.
As the number of players entering the small, nano and cube satellite markets increases, it is becoming crucial to consider best practice and regulations for operating in space.
