Military Space Situational Awareness 2021

As our orbital environment becomes ever more congested and contested, the need for effective Situational Awareness to support space operations has become increasingly important.

With this in mind, SMi Group are proud to announce that the 16^th annual Military Space Situational Awareness Conference will take place online as a virtual event on the 28^th and 29^th April 2021.

As the leading conference in Europe dedicated to space domain awareness, Military Space Situational Awareness will bring together leading experts from the UK, US, Europe and beyond, to discuss how we can build a collaborative approach to space management, as well as how we must balance operational necessity with responsible use of space.

As the next generation of mega-constellations are sent into orbit, understanding where satellites are and how they are interacting with other platforms is essential, so that a repeat of the 2009 Iridium crash can be avoided.

Event Highlights:

• Hear from senior military and civil officials on the latest solutions being implemented to enhance the security of space assets through domain awareness.
• Listen to exclusive briefings from USSF, RAF, UKSA and leading international SSA programmes.
• Examine key issues such as space surveillance and tracking, the US Space Force’s approach to SSA, the impact of new mega-constellations, space security, and international partnerships in space.
• Discuss how best government and industry can manage further space congestion through policy implementation, best practices and international partnerships, to ensure future sustainable use of space.
