SUMMARY:Sandpit on Precision SSA
DESCRIPTION:Following on from the Precision SSA workshop\, held in July 2020\, the March sandpit looked to generate further discussion\, and spark ideas for collaborative projects that could be supported by GNOSIS funding opportunities. This was a virtual event\, free to attend and open to all.  \n\n\n\nRecording: A full recording of this event is available:\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Sandpit\n\n\n\n\nFeedback: Your views on this event is important to us. Please take a few minutes to provide your feedback using the form at the bottom of this page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Precision SSA workshop featured an exciting programme of speakers from across the UK and beyond. The upcoming sandpit will take forward the themes of “Orbits” and “Characterisation” that proved most popular\, featuring a broad range of talks by experts from academia and industry. \n\nProgramme \n\n\nTimeTopicSpeaker13:00IntroductionCase Study: GNOSIS PhD StudentshipJames Blake (GNOSIS)Luke Cornwell (Kent)13:05“Opportunities and challenges of a faithful representation of uncertainty in SSA”Jeremie Houssineau (Warwick)13:25“Towards a manoeuvre detection and reconstruction tool for track-to-track association recovery”Laura Pirovano (Auckland)13:45“The Yarkovsky and YORP effects in planetary science\, with potential SSA applications”Dimitri Veras (Warwick)14:05Break14:10“Space debris fragmentation reconstruction with PUZZLE suite”Camilla Colombo (Politecnico di Milano)14:30“Observational Recovery of Electric Propulsion Orbits”Paul Chote (Warwick)14:45Discussion15:00Break15:15“MEV-2 RPO Observation Campaign”Paul Chote (Warwick)15:40“High-cadence optical imaging polarimetry of geostationary satellites: towards a quantitative tool”Klaas Wiersema (Lancaster)16:00“Observing and characterizing space debris”Thomas Schildknecht (Bern)16:20Break16:25“Understanding SSA requirements for safe and successful active debris removal missions”Toby Harris (Astroscale)16:45“From Robust Orbit Determination to Hyperspectral Imaging for Space Domain Awareness: the CASSANDRA framework.”Massimiliano Vasile (Strathclyde)17:05Break17:10“The case for precision SSA”Hira Virdee (Lumi Space)17:30“Orbit determination and attitude dynamics: current research opportunities”Jan Siminski (ESA)17:50Discussion18:05Future programme and funding opportunities Stuart Eves (GNOSIS)18:15Finish\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGNOSIS Sandpit Feedback Form \n\n\nThis form is disabled. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nYour personal data will be kept confidential\, and will only be used to provide GNOSIS with feedback on this event.

SUMMARY:GNOSIS Sandpit on Novel/Non-traditional Observation Techniques
DESCRIPTION:This sandpit links to the topics discussed in the July 2021 workshop.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe would be grateful if you could provide feedback on your experience of this event. Your feedback is important to us as it helps us to improve future events. The short feedback form is available at the bottom of this page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can view a recording of the event on YouTube: \n\n\n\n\nSandpit Recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Programme13:30Welcome – Afternoon Programme and ContentRalph Dinsley\, NORSS13:40“The Trials and Tribulations of Analysing the Russian ASAT Test”Sean Goldsbrough\, UKSA Senior Orbital Analyst14:101st Session: Radar Tracking Capabilities (passive/active)Session chairs/moderators: Massimiliano Vasile and Carmine Clemente\, Strathclyde UniversityIntroductionCarmine ClementeIntercontinental Radar Bistatic System (IRIS)Christos Ilioudis 3D Phased Array Antenna for Space Debris Detection and TrackingSebastian Diaz RiofrioCASSANDRA – Computational Agent for Space Situational Awareness and Debris Remediation ActionsMassimiliano Vasile Discussion period.

It will also develop novel target behaviour analyses tools applied to this sensor configuration. The project will exploit an existing experimental Long Baseline Bistatic Radar campaign carried out under the NATO-SET 293 “RF Sensing for Space Situational Awareness” RTG. The project will demonstrate the benefits of this peculiar configuration\, including resource reuse\, while investigating advanced processing solutions to handle the intrinsic challenges that this system has. Unlocking the potential of distributing sensing\, this project can have a significant impact in advancing additional capabilities such as target behaviour analysis. \n\n\n\n3D Phased Array Antenna for Space Debris Detection and Tracking \n\n\n\nThis project aims to create a system that can detect and track space debris using a novel 3D phased arrays on both space borne and ground-based radar receivers. The main objective of the project is to develop an active and a passive radar system that could track and identify space debris. The passive radar paradigm makes the approach interesting in terms of resource reuse and low-cost deployment\, particularly in space. While the 3D phased array active radar paradigm can allow continuous steering on a particular target with the objective of reducing the minimum detectable target size. \n\n\n\nCASSANDRA – Computational Agent for Space Situational Awareness and Debris Remediation Actions \n\n\n\nThis talk will explain how the use of in-space and on ground radar measurements can be integrated in the framework of CASSANDRA to enable robust decision support for both conjunction analysis and collision avoidance manoeuvre execution. The talk will briefly introduce the CASSANDRA framework and then presents how this AI framework ingests radar measurements\, computes the probability of collision and makes robust decisions on the execution of CAMs. Both single encounter and multi-encounter scenarios are considered. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Feedback Form\n\n\nThis form is disabled.

SUMMARY:Sandpit - SSA Data Management\, Security and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:How we collect\, manage\, analyse and distribute data has historically been ignored. However\, as orbital population rapidly grows it is an increasing focus of the SSA community and cannot rely on the analogy of “always done it that way”. Following on from the SSA Data Management virtual workshop hosted by the Royal Observatory\, Edinburgh\, in November 2020\, the aim of the sandpit was to facilitate a deeper discussion on standards for data management\, norms of behaviour and ensuring/enabling the responsible use of space.
