As we reach the solar maximum, we’ve being treated to a series of memorable lightshows in the night skies, created by powerful solar storms. But could these storms do us damage? Pascal Lecointe, Space Line Underwriter, discusses how solar storms could impact the many satellites which we rely on and what that could mean for space insurers. https://lnkd.in/eDGFq2Sa

A note on active space debris monitoring: Two of the primary factors infuencing the operations of ground-based SLR systems are atmosperic noise (backscaterring, pulse wander and others) and station's location (weather, altitude). While the research in this field has slowly achieving success, most of the time it requires a multi-static approach i vloving more than 1 station. Concept: a constellation of satellites with on-board laser firing mechanism, a set of cameras, and a time tagging equipment that will monitor space debris population from space. All satellites are in a network of inter-satellite links (ISL) that can be implemented using optical comms. #SLR #LEO #Space #spacedebris

The FCC will vote on a proposal at its January meeting to mitigate the risks of orbital debris to space innovation. One of the biggest threats to new spaced-based innovation and services is abandoned space junk that can collide with the satellites we rely on. The Commission will consider an Order that provides clarity and guidance to satellite operators on compliance with our orbital debris rules. https://lnkd.in/e6CNg5qk #SpaceInnovation

https://lnkd.in/dMS_4z8E Thousands of #satellites orbit the Earth, gathering and distributing vital information for weather monitoring, disaster early warning systems and communications. Recent technological advancements have made it easier and more affordable for countries, companies and even individuals to put satellites into space. Satellites make our lives safer, more convenient and connected, and represent critical infrastructure that is now essential for a functioning society. However, as the number of satellites increases, so does the problem of space debris, which poses a threat to both functioning satellites and the future of our orbit. #spacedebris #tippingpoint
