Finnish Satellite Workshop is the biggest space technology meeting in Finland. It brings together space tech specialists from the region to discuss current topics in rapidly developing space field. The scope is set on New Space, small satellite missions, small satellite platform development, space science missions and instruments, downstream and applications and sustainable utilization of space, not forgetting also about collaboration and politics.
The workshop format is relaxed, focusing on content and collaboration. If you have a nice idea, please propose your talk by submitting a small simple abstract. You can also propose workshop topics to be discussed during the meeting.
The happening is free of charge for pre-registered participants, including the social events and coffee breaks. The happening is also an excellent forum for companies, who can guarantee their visibility by sponsoring the event and reserving booth area.

23.-25. January 2019
Check out the schedule below!
The Finnish Space Program is based around innovation and commercial utilization of space. Come hear how the space technology can help your business!
Space is an emerging global megatrend. Increasing numbers of satellites threaten the sustainable use of space for economy and science. Space assets are in key position in solution of sustainable development challenges as the only truly global tool. Without removal, space debris will eventually make certain critical orbits unusable and render our access to space endangered. The workshop will concentrate on mapping the current situation and finding ways of harnessing entrepreneurship and economy in finding economical solutions.
The 5G track provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings and visions regarding the role of 5G in satellite communications.
In this track, we explore views of European Space Agency, satellite operators, Finnish industry, and research organizations to enable a lively discussion on the topic.

His expertise is in space object detection, tracking, identification, and characterization, as well as spacecraft navigation. Prior to being at UT Austin, Dr. Jah was the Director of the University of Arizona’s Space Object Behavioral Sciences with applications to Space Domain Awareness, Space Protection, Space Traffic Monitoring, and Space Debris research. Preceding that, Dr. Jah was the lead for the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) Advanced Sciences and Technology Research Institute for Astronautics (ASTRIA) and a Principal Investigator for their Detect/Track/Id/Characterize Program at AFRL’s Space Vehicles Directorate. He received his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Arizona, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado at Boulder specializing in astrodynamics and statistical orbit determination. Before joining AFRL in 2007, he was a spacecraft navigator for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, serving on Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, Mars Express (joint mission with ESA), Mars Exploration Rovers, Hayabusa (joint mission with JAXA), and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Dr. Jah has served as a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN-COPUOS) and is the chair of the NATO SCI-279-TG activity on defining a Common NATO Space Domain Awareness Operating Picture. Dr.Jah founded the American Astronautical Society’s (AAS) Space Surveillance Technical Committee and is the past Chair of the AIAA Astrodynamics Technical Committee. He is a member of the Astrodynamics Technical Committee of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and a permanent member of the Space Debris Technical Committee of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA). Dr. Jah is a Fellow of the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS), the AFRL, the AAS and the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), as well as an AIAA Associate Fellow, IEEE Senior Member, and Associate Editor of the Advances in Space Research Journal. He has recently been inducted as a Corresponding Member of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) and gave formal testimony to the US Senate on his work. His research team, called The CAST (Computational Astronautical Sciences and Technologies), has developed this current snapshot of space traffic: http://astria.tacc.utexas.edu/AstriaGraph. He’s given TEDx talks, and been interviewed and invited the world over to speak at many conferences and symposia.
