Summary Report From the 2018 AMOS Dialogue in Maui on SSA and Satellite Servicing

Thursday, November 1, 2018

The Secure World Foundation (SWF) co-hosted a discussion of the links between space situational awareness (SSA) and commercial rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) and on-orbit satellite servicing (OOS).  This was held at the sixth annual AMOS Dialogue, a small, invitation-only workshop co-hosted by the Maui Economic Development Board (MEDB) and SWF during the 2018 Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies (AMOS) Conference, held on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Sept. 11-14, 2018.  The Dialogue participants examined the new RPO technologies and capabilities being developed to support commercial OOS, and how they impact current SSA capabilities and practices. The group also debated what role SSA should play in the development of international standards for RPO and OOS, how SSA capabilities should evolve to support future RPO and OOS missions, and how SSA and RPO impact the development of future space traffic management regimes.
