Abstract:
The rapid rise in the utilization of small satellites for scientific, commercial, and societal benefits has been enabled and supported by a space environment that remains stable and accessible to all. However, the long-term sustainability of that environment faces challenges - both natural and human induced - that pose a risk to the continued stability of smallsat operations. This panel will discuss several of these risks, including anti-satellite testing and space weather, as space sustainability concerns. Why should a smallsat operator care about these problems and what opportunities exist for ensuring they don't affect future capabilities and data availability?
