The United States has responded by insisting that existing treaties and rules governing the use of space are sufficient. The standoff has produced a six-year deadlock in Geneva at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament, but the parties have not been inactive. Russia and China have much to lose if the United States were to pursue the programs laid out in its planning documents. This makes prob - able the eventual formulation of responses that are adverse to a broad range of U.S. interests in space. The Chinese anti-satellite test in January 2007 was prelude to an unfolding drama in which the main act is still subject to revi - sion.

  • Space Technology and Telecommunication" Cluster of the Skolkovo Foundation
    STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS AND PRIORITY AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT FOR "S PACE TECHNOLOGY AND TELECOMMUNICATION " CLUSTER OF THE SKOLKOVO FOUNDATION 2012 Strategic Directions and Priority Areas of Development for "Space Technology and Telecommunication" Cluster of the Skolkovo Foundation The present document describes the results of methodology development and evaluation of strategic directions and priority areas for "Space Technology and Telecommunication" Cluster of the Skolkovo Fund. The first iteration was obtained by ST&T expert group with assistance of leading space R&D institutes using the Federal Space Agency materials. The Strategic Directions will be subsequently specified under the foresight research based on the contract between the Skolkovo Fund and one of the leading R&D and consulting organizations in the field of space activity and its results' commercialization. The Glossary can be found at the end of the document EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: PRIORITIES ST&T Cluster ensures search for, attraction and selection of potential subjects of innovative process in the field of development and target use of spacecrafts operation and diversification of rocket and space industry potential, facilitates their cooperation and provides the environment for full cycle innovation process establishment, based on the Strategic directions and priority areas of development, initially defined by this document and regularly updated considering opinion of sci-tech and business community that is identified in process of foresight procedure. At the moment, the Cluster finds it necessary, along with comprehensive support for innovative activity of the Skolkovo Fund participants and applicants, to focus on proactive implementation of several priority areas which particularly include: Establishing national infrastructure of full cycle microsatellite technology which involves leading universities.

  • WORLD SPACECRAFT DIGEST by Jos Heyman 2013 Version: 1 January 2014 © Copyright Jos Heyman
    WORLD SPACECRAFT DIGEST by Jos Heyman 2013 Version: 1 January 2014 © Copyright Jos Heyman The spacecraft are listed, in the first instance, in the order of their International Designation, resulting in, with some exceptions, a date order. Spacecraft which did not receive an International Designation, being those spacecraft which failed to achieve orbit or those which were placed in a sub orbital trajectory, have been inserted in the date order. For each spacecraft the following information is provided: a. International Designation and NORAD number For each spacecraft the International Designation, as allocated by the International Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), has been used as the primary means to identify the spacecraft. This is followed by the NORAD catalogue number which has been assigned to each object in space, including debris etc., in a numerical sequence, rather than a chronoligical sequence. Normally no reference has been made to spent launch vehicles, capsules ejected by the spacecraft or fragments except where such have a unique identification which warrants consideration as a separate spacecraft or in other circumstances which warrants their mention. b. Name The most common name of the spacecraft has been quoted. In some cases, such as for US military spacecraft, the name may have been deduced from published information and may not necessarily be the official name. Alternative names have, however, been mentioned in the description and have also been included in the index. c. Country/International Agency For each spacecraft the name of the country or international agency which owned or had prime responsibility for the spacecraft, or in which the owner resided, has been included.

  • Large Constellations of Small Satellites: a Survey of Near Future Challenges and Missions
    aerospace Review Large Constellations of Small Satellites: A Survey of Near Future Challenges and Missions Giacomo Curzi , Dario Modenini * and Paolo Tortora Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Bologna, Via Fontanelle 40, I-47121 Forlì (FC), Italy; [email protected] (G.C.); [email protected] (P.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 July 2020; Accepted: 3 September 2020; Published: 7 September 2020 Abstract: Constellations of satellites are being proposed in large numbers; most of them are expected to be in orbit within the next decade. They will provide communication to unserved and underserved communities, enable global monitoring of Earth and enhance space observation. Mostly enabled by technology miniaturization, satellite constellations require a coordinated effort to face the technological limits in spacecraft operations and space traffic. At the moment in fact, no cost-effective infrastructure is available to withstand coordinated flight of large fleets of satellites. In order for large constellations to be sustainable, there is the need to efficiently integrate and use them in the current space framework. This review paper provides an overview of the available experience in constellation operations and statistical trends about upcoming constellations at the moment of writing. It highlights also the tools most often proposed in the analyzed works to overcome constellation management issues, such as applications of machine learning/artificial intelligence and resource/infrastructure sharing. As such, it is intended to be a useful resource for both identifying emerging trends in satellite constellations, and enabling technologies still requiring substantial development efforts. Keywords: large constellations; operations; traffic; regulation; spacecraft 1. Introduction The idea of a constellation of satellites appeared in the market about twenty years ago with Iridium and Globalstar as pioneering examples.

Russian Federation launches, 2012 Type of Type of Number of Type of Research of space debris problems in the Russian Launcher Booster Launches Orbit Federation is carried out in following aspects 1) observation, 2) modelling, 3) protection and 1 Soyuz-2.1 : Fregat 1 High 4) mitigation. The Russian Federation is devoted to the elliptical orbit international efforts on space debris problem resolution 2 Soyuz-2.1 : Fregat 1 Circular and is already implementing practical steps on space NEO debris mitigation on a voluntary basis within its own 3 Soyuz-FG - 4 Circular national mechanisms taking into account the COPUOS NEO UN and IADC Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines. 4 Soyuz-U - 5 Circular NEO ARTICLE 5 Soyuz-ST-B Fregat- 1 Circular FL MEO The space activity of the world community conducts 6 Soyuz-ST-A Fregat- 1 Circular results in the growth of the near-earth space pollution FL NEO with artificial fragments and as a consequence in the 7 Soyuz-FG Fregat 1 Circular space mission safety diminishing.
