Keeping busy at ASCEND! OSC's Sandra Magnus spoke about our collaboration with DoD on the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS), and Jason Kim spoke about regulations and incentives for debris remediation. The team also held a public forum with the SSA industry on conjunction assessment metrics and participated in AIAA's speed mentoring session for students and young professionals.
ICYMI: The 2024 ASCEND Diverse Dozen gave us a lot to think about. Here are 🖐️ five key takeaways: 1️⃣ Individual stories from across the globe enhance the discussion on space and sustainability, showcasing diverse paths to advocating for environmental stewardship. 2️⃣ Innovative technologies are essential to minimize waste and promote responsible space use, paralleling Earth’s environmental challenges. 3️⃣ Including underrepresented voices in the space workforce is vital for addressing global challenges, fostering creativity, and enhancing collaboration. 4️⃣ Updated policies and international agreements are urgently needed to tackle space debris and militarization, ensuring space remains peaceful and sustainable. 5️⃣ Emphasizing empathy is key to fostering global collaboration, ensuring all nations benefit from space exploration and environmental protection. Watch their lightning fast talks on the AIAA YouTube Channel: 2024 ASCEND Day 1: https://bit.ly/4dMaxZa D12 is presented by ASCEND in partnership with Moriba Jah and the Office of Space Commerce. #ascendspace #aiaa #spacesustainability
