June 08, 2020 - Last week, the UK Space Agency (UKSA) announced that it is offering a £1 million grant to organisations who are creating innovative new solutions which can help to combat the concerns surrounding space debris.
According to the UKSA, there are almost 1 million pieces of debris larger than 1cm currently orbiting earth - and only a few of these are tracked. The agency wants to find ways to track these objects so that we may predict and prevent collisions.
With this in mind, SMi Group are pleased to announce that the UK Space Agency will be presenting at this year's Military Space Situational Awareness conference, which will be taking place in London on 3rd – 4th September 2020.
The UK Space Agency will be presenting on:
"UKSA Lines of Effort Within SSA"
• Current framework for space operations: SDSR 2015 and the Blackett Review
• Collaboration in SSA
• Debris mitigation
• Look Ahead
Presented by Ms Emily Mills, Domestic Space Surveillance & Tracking Lead, UK Space Agency
Ms Mills will be joined by representatives from militaries, governments, space agencies and industry experts from around the world, to highlight ways in which we can build a collaborative approach to space management, ensuring that responsible space development can continue for years to come.
