This workshop will explore the potential ramifications of a variety of disaster scenarios for space operations. So-called “Black Swan” scenarios are typically characterised as low-probably/high-impact, and hence present an overall significant risk.
We will consider the potential consequences of a Kessler Syndrome event. How would the loss of certain orbital bands affect operations, services on Earth, launches?
