Description
Developing countries have economic limitations related to the training, infrastructure, and human
resources to develop space technology. Small satellite missions and the use of commercial electrical, electronic, and electromechanical
(EEE) components, known as Space COTS, can reduce the cost, time, and gap in space incursions. In this sense, currently, there are
low-cost and/or free access tools, especially for the educational sector, which allow the simulation of small satellite missions. These
tools include General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT), OpenApp, and OpenKit. The present talk shows the use of these tools and a 3U small
satellite mission simulation. It is expected that with the use and dissemination of these tools, more and more developing countries will
be able to develop their missions and enter into the space sector.

Description
Space situation awareness (SSA), including space surveillance and characterization of all space objects
and environments, is critical for national and economic security. SSA is the ability to detect, track and characterize passive and active
space objects. In light of the large number of Resident Space Objects (RSOs), and the generally accepted notion that our knowledge about
the number and nature of most of the objects is severely limited, an unmet and urgent need exists for accurate tracking and
characterization of RSOs. A common example involves assigning probabilities of collision of between two different RSOs. For RSO tracking,
the core information needed is the orbit parameters and their associated uncertainties specified at a given epoch. This allows for
accurate forward prediction but owing to both the nonlinearity of the orbital dynamics and measurement sparsity, the uncertainty
associated with RSOs orbit increases in time. Given the fact that none of the prior accidental collision between tracked objects was
observed in real time as they occurred, underscores the need for SSA.

3D ISAR: Techniques and Applications

Description
In maritime radar, Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is used to image targets with classification typically performed by a radar
operator. The three dimensional (3D)-ISAR was developed as an alternative representation with the target represented by a 3D point cloud, instad of the
traditional range/Doppler image. This talk will describe a number of different reconstruction techniques and demonstrate how the improved localisation can be
used to enhance target classification.
