SUMMARY:Information Session 2: Space Sustainability Continuing Education Course
DESCRIPTION:Info session objective: This session will provide a high-level overview of what Space Sustainability means: understand how can we secure the long-term usability of space and\, how can we design and operate missions and space businesses with a keen focus on sustainability. \nTarget audience: Space stakeholders (engineers\, scientists\, non technical managers\, policy practitioners etc)\, active in space agencies\, aerospace industries or related fields and concerned about preserving the sustainability and safety of the space environment in the long-term \n REGISTER  \nIn recent years\, the exponential growth of spatial activities\, driven in part by theexpanding commercial use of space\, has yielded promising business opportunities.However\, this expansion has also left behind a significant challenge – an ever-increasing population of space debris\, with over 28\,000 objects currently observablein Earth’s orbit. How can we secure the long-term usability of space and designspace businesses and missions with a focus on sustainability? \nSpace Sustainability is a new EPFL short program designed to: \nUnderstand what space sustainability means (from historical\, geopolitical\,economic\, societal\, and environmental perspectives) and how to measure it \nExplore tools and methodologies for developing more sustainable spacemissions (ESA’s MASTER and DRAMA suite\, Space Sustainability Rating\, LifeCycle Assessment & Environmental Impact Assessment\, etc.) \nInteract with the most recent research developments and explore the potentialadvantages of incorporating Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies within the space sector \nThis course is organized by EPFL Space Center (eSpace)\, EPFL (Swiss FederalInstitute of Technology in Lausanne) in collaboration with International Space University (ISU)\, IMS Space Consultancy and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).The program is designed for individuals engaged in space-related roles (engineers\, scientists\, non-technical managers\, policy practitioners\, etc.) and whoshare a common focus on ensuring the long-term sustainability and safety of thespace environment. \nThis course will take place March 19-21\, 2024. \n Course information & registration

SUMMARY:USSF-MIT researchers present their work : AI Technologies and simulation tools for SSA - Space Sustainability and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Captain Jacqueline Smith is a Chief of Staff Captain’s Prestigious PhD Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She is currently pursuing research in Space Policy and Sustainability in the Aeronautics and Astronautics department at MIT in collaboration withthe Space Enabled division of the MIT Media Lab. Previously\, Capt. Smith served as the Digital Transformation and Innovation Officer for Space Launch Delta 45\, project lead within the Space Force Headquarters Chief Technology and Innovation Office (founder of the Supra Coders program)\, and Director of Space CAMP (a software factory focused on the continuous development and deployment of space command and control applications). Captain Smith has a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of New Mexico and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. \nCaptain Jacqueline Smith will cover: \n\nUtilizing the Space Sustainability Rating for emerging space nation missions\nModeling NASA collision avoidance actions using the Environment-Vulnerability-Decision-Technology framework\nContinuing supervision (Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty) of in-space servicing activities from a US government stakeholder perspective using Systems Architecture Framework\n\nCaptain Tory Smith earned his bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Ohio State University before commissioning into the United States Space Force (USSF) through the Technical Degree Sponsorship Program. His first assignment was at the Air Force Research Lab Space Vehicles directorate working on Multi-Agent AI systems. He then became a founding member of the Space CAMP software development factory in Colorado Springs working on various software applications for the National Space Defense Center. Subsequently\, he was recruited by the USSF Chief Technology and Innovation Office as a project lead for service-wide digital education initiatives including Digital University and the Supra Coders program. He is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT within the Astrodynamics\, Robotics and Controls Lab focusing on Multi-Agent Sensor Tasking under the advisement of Dr. Richard Linares. \nCaptain Tory Smith will cover: \n\nMulti-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) approaches for scalable ground-based sensor tasking.\nModeling the population evolution of lethal non-trackable objects in LEO using the MIT Orbital Capacity Tool (MOCAT)\nComparison of simulated data using the NASA Standard Break-up Model (SBM) and empirical data collected by the Space Fence radar for known break-up events.
