INTERNATIONAL SSA/STM WORKSHOP SERIES
International SSA Data Operator Exchange
Since 2016, the International SSA Data Operator Exchange has been held in September in conjunction with the Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies (AMOS) Conference, on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Presented by Maui Economic Development Board and The Aerospace Corporation, in partnership with the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) and the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), the goal of the series is to provide an opportunity to develop and advance insights and relationships among key international SSA data stakeholders including military, academic, civil, and commercial entities. To accomplish this, the workshop chooses timely topics relevant to the global SSA community and allows participants time to present their views. The collection of summary reports are presented below (note, a report was not produced every year).
International SSA/STM Policy Exchange
Since 2016, Aerospace and MEDB have together led a series of International SSA workshops, one during the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, with a focus on international policymakers involved in SSA and the other during the AMOS Conference in Maui, Hawaii, with a focus on SSA Operators. The topic areas have been chosen to encourage SSA collaboration across the policy, technology, and operations communities. While the workshops are not entirely dependent on each other for content, the intent is for ideas and topics from one workshop to help shape the next ensuring robust and diverse discussions across the communities.
