Designing a Geostationary Space Station for 22nd Century
Time: 14:45-16:15
Room: Sheikh Rashid B
Format: Design Sprint
Geostationary Orbit is the focus of calls for making “big space” more sustainable. Hence, as part of this special session we will be exploring the new approaches for the development and management of geostationary orbit, with particular reference to on-orbit satellite up/re-cycling and manufacture, staging access to deep space, as well as opportunities in space tourism. This workshop will develop critical perspectives from multiple disciplines to frame a White Paper on a Geostationary Space Station.
