Its day 2 of the MASTER workshop on #spacedebris, with presentations on environmental impact assessments and #collisionavoidance.
Tomorrow's programme includes:
- the sustainability of the debris environment
- managing debris with & for society
Sign up! https://t.co/0UrJAH9oUS
Its day 1 of ESA's MASTER workshop, all about better understanding the #spacedebris environment through modelling.
Up for discussion soon, "The impact of satellites and space debris on Hubble Space Telescope observations." Find out more and sign up here👉https://t.co/sIH3LBhXmu
@Till_83 @moribajah@AussieSpaceGirl Till, we have all the 900,000 objects >1 cm covered here, coming from the MASTER model. And yes, it's really a lot!
European Conference on #SpaceDebris – Call for Papers!📰🛰️🚮
The largest dedicated gathering on space debris, bringing together internationally renowned experts over 4 days, invites you to submit your abstract👉https://t.co/eV0vfUFeZE
🗓️Deadline: 15 Nov 2020
It's #TimeToAct.
During 30 years, the NASA/ESA @HUBBLE_space Telescope has witnessed the changing nature of spaceflight and bears the scars of a fruiftul life in space - many tiny impact craters. What can we learn from these and what does the future hold for Hubble? 👉 https://t.co/9nrBkKnad3
@ProfHughLewis Looking forward to discuss this at the upcoming IOC! Being in favour of a zero footprint solution, I see many associated questions, i.a.: would everyone be required to perform a controlled reentry? Is there a time dimension to the footprint still beyond end-of-mission? etc.
Interested in taking part in a rubbish challenge?🛰️🗑️
To manoeuvre or not to manoeuvre... that's the question posed by ESA's #SpaceDebris Office and Advanced Concepts Team.

Some additional bits of useful information about #Aeolus/#Starlink from SpaceX:
- Starlink 44 is operational and capable of avoidance maneuvers if necessary
- In three months the Starlink fleet has performed 16 collision avoidance maneuvers without any manual input (!)

"No one was at fault here, but this does show the urgent need for proper #spacetraffic management - with clear communication protocols and more automation” — Holger Krag, ESA's Head of #SpaceSafety

For the first time ever, ESA has performed a 'collision avoidance manoeuvre' to protect one of its satellites from colliding with a 'mega constellation'

Update from SpaceX on their Starlink constellation: “57 Starlink satellites are communicating with SpaceX’s Earth stations... 45 Starlink satellites have reached their operational altitude ..."

So, with various numbers floating around: how does the proposed 12000 satellite @SpaceX#Starlink satellite constellation seize up to the current number of artificial objects in orbit around earth? A thread, with diagrams:
Habe mir nochmal angesehen, was von #MissionShakti übriggeblieben ist. Feat. Expertise von @hkrag und ein Rant von @Explornaut. Fazit: Hätte schlimmer kommen können. https://t.co/sBaZijQB6s #ASat#spacejunk
