On 25 May 2023 4 workshops will be held by the IAASS Technical Committees on Launch Safety, Re-entry Safety, Space Traffic Management, and Human Performance and Health.

The workshops will be held at the same venue of the 12th IAASS Conference,  (OBIC Hall). Registration for the workshops is free of charge. 

IAASS International Workshop on Re-entry Safety​

25 May 2023; Time: 08:30 – 12:30         

Location: OBIC – Osaka, Room #1 (Details will be sent to the registered participants)     
 
The workshop is an initiative of the IAASS Re-entry Safety Technical Subcommittee. As usual, this workshop will provide an open forum to exchange information and plans related to best practices, research, and operations in the field of spacecraft and rocket re-entry. It is our clear goal to facilitate cooperation in future research, to review the progress of ongoing cooperative activities and to identify and to broadly share best practices in re-entry safety. The agenda is in preparation.

Registration (free)

Please register for this event at the link below. If you want to discuss any particular topic, please send a short description of the proposed agenda item and the estimated presentation/discussion time to  Mr. Christopher Ostrom at: christopher.l.ostrom@nasa.gov, until March 31, 2023. Time slots will be filled on a first come first serve basis.

IAASS Short Course on Implications of Increasingly Earth-Independent Operations on Operational Performance and Safety

25 May 2023; Time: 08:30 – 12:30

Location: OBIC – Osaka, Room #2 (Details will be sent to the registered participants)     
 
This short course is an initiative of the Human Performance and Health Technical Committee of the IAASS. Our current operational models—where crew are heavily tied to ground control—must evolve as missions become increasingly distant. Recent estimates of round-trip communication delay with lunar crews average ~ 6 seconds. It is unknown how, or if, this communication latency will affect operational performance and safety. This workshop will explore potential consequences of a paradigm shift toward increasingly Earth-independent operations and possible countermeasures to the decrease in ground support, especially for safety critical events. Following brief presentations, participants will be divided into small groups to brainstorm about focused topics. The results of these discussions will be written into a white paper to be published in the IAASS affiliated Journal of Space Safety Engineering.

Registration (free)

Please register for this event at the link below. If you want to discuss any particular topic, please send  a short description of the proposed topic and the estimated presentation/discussion time to Dr. Bettina Beard at: Tina.Beard@nasa.gov, until March 31, 2023. Time slots will be filled on a first come first serve basis.

IAASS International Workshop on CubeSats Space Traffic Management

25 May 2023; Time: 13-30-17:30

Location: OBIC-Osaka, Room #2 (Details will be sent to the registered participants)
 
The workshop is an initiative of the Space Traffic Management Technical Committee of the IAASS. As usual, this workshop will provide an open forum to exchange information and plans related to best practices, research, and operations in the field of CubeSats space traffic management. It is our clear goal to facilitate cooperation in future research, to review the progress of ongoing cooperative activities and to identify and to broadly share best practices in launch and re-entry safety.

PAST WORKSHOPS

11th International Workshop on Launch and Re-entry Safety

25 October 2021 – 16:30 – 19:30 CEST
26 October 2021 – 16:30 – 19:30 CEST

Location: Webex (Details will be sent to the registered participants)
 
The workshop is an initiative of the Launch and Re-entry Safety Committee of the IAASS. The current plan for this 2-days virtual workshop (of 3 hours each) is to dedicate the first day (October 25) to launch safety topics, while the second day (October 26) should be focused on re-entry. As usual, this workshop will provide an open forum to exchange information and plans related to best practices, research, and operations in the field of spacecraft and rocket launch and re-entry. It is our clear goal to facilitate cooperation in future research, to review the progress of ongoing cooperative activities and to identify and to broadly share best practices in launch and re-entry safety

2nd International Workshop on Spacecraft Environmental Anomalies and Failures (SEAF)

13-14 May 2019   
Location: University of Southern California, Von KleinSmid Center, room VKC 100,
3518 Trousdale Parkway, Los Angeles, California 90089.
(Workshop starts at 1:00pm on May 13)

The workshop is an initiative of the Space Hazards Committee of the IAASS. The growing globalization of space provides both opportunities and challenges. As space gets more competitive and congested with a wide variety of operators it is critical to promote a common awareness of the influence of space environmental effects on space systems and of preventive actions. The workshop will explore possible strategies to respond to the challenge to rapidly identify, characterize, attribute, and resolve environmental disturbances to space systems. For such purpose, the workshop will also examine approaches and lessons learned from other domains. The workshop will also seek to reinforce relationships between communities that do not regularly interact (i.e., space environment experts, spacecraft designers and satellite operators).
