SUMMARY:The Future of Near-Earth Space. Space Debris and Space Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:The conference will be held in English at Istituto Svizzero in Rome and online. Free entrance. \nIstituto Svizzero invites experts from different fields and institutions to a one-day symposium where they share and discuss their professional outlooks on near-Earth space’s potential development until 2050. The goal of the symposium is not only to get scholars from different fields into conversation with each other but also to get more disciplines involved and to translate expert knowledge into public awareness. \nManaging the Future of near-Earth Space \nThere are many different actors concerned with the future of near-Earth space. This panel presents different approaches to how the pollution beyond the atmosphere might be brought under control. It discusses the possibilities of active debris removal\, how international dialogue on near-Earth space can be fostered across geopolitical tensions\, and how satellite operators might be moved towards greater sustainability. \n			\n							More info and register

SUMMARY:Setting the Bar for the Replacement of the Probability of Collision Metric in Conjunction Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Professional statisticians can often see issues with\, and propose better solutions for\, statistical methods that are used in industry; but such proposals often remain unimplemented (and therefore unused) because they are not fully sensitive to the particulars of the application.  The Probability of Collision\, a metric used by astrodynamicists to determine whether two satellite are likely to collide\, has a number of problematic aspects that statisticians have properly criticized; but the proposed alternatives also introduce fresh problems or ignore other aspects of the operational situation.  The present colloquium introduces this statistical problem and summarizes its shortcomings and some of the proposed remediations\, but then proceeds to outline philosophical aspects of the operational situation that both exclude certain approaches and push towards particular ways in which proposed alternatives must be evaluated in order to be shown to be both operationally superior and viable. \nDr. Matt Hejduk is Senior Project Leader at the Aerospace Corporation and also presently serves as chief engineer for the Satellite Conjunction Analysis and Risk Assessment (CARA) project for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.  His research interests include the satellite conjunction assessment problem\, satellite characterization and modeling from sensor signature data\, estimation theory\, and sensor and network simulation.
