D0.1 Existing and Future Solar and Heliospheric Missions for Heliophysics Sciences and Space Weather Applications The recent space weather events which occurred in May and October 2024 triggered a lot of interest in the scientific community but also in the media. In addition to the production of a strong geomagnetic storm which led to adverse …

A0.1 Earth Observation Open Session  The Earth is subject to global warming and climate change that is impacting humanity and biodiversity. Satellites contribute to a better understanding of the Earth System and to predicting extreme events and hazards while tackling scientific challenges. This session welcomes abstracts on space technology for Earth observation, innovation, artificial intelligence …

PPP.1 Planetary Protection This session will include reports on recent COSPAR Panel on Planetary Protection (PPP) activities, planetary protection studies by scientists and agencies, and colloquia/workshops with relevance to planetary protection and in general and the COSPAR Policy and implementation guidelines. The overall Policy perspective will be presented, as well as recent adaptations and updates …

PSD.1 Technical Advances in Precision Orbit and Attitude Determination The recent paradigm shift in space technology toward miniaturized sensors, smaller spacecraft, and more affordable launches is opening an unprecedented level of accessibility to data collection from space-based platforms. The technology sector has realized the concept of operating numerous small satellites with different payloads for spatially …

PEX.1 Sciences and Strategic Knowledge for Robotic and Human Exploration This event will welcome solicited and contributed talks addressing the science enabled by and needed for robotic and human exploration . Part 1: From Earth orbit to Moon, Mars, asteroids – robotic science missions towards future human exploration Part 2: Outer solar system science, robotic …

B0.1   Sponsoring, Enabling, and Operating Global Facilities and Services for New Space Entrepreneurs Building on the success of the B3.2 Scientific Event at the COSPAR 45 Assembly in Busan, this Scientific Event brings together Science and New Space participants to provide research ideas, mission designs, and new operating practices to be supported by a global …

PCSS.1 Ensuring a Sustainable Future in Low Earth Orbit The rapid proliferation of LEO spacecraft and the staggering levels of LEO space debris threaten to make portions of near-Earth space virtually unusable. There need to be clear policy directives put in place to address the challenges arising in this regard. There could be several directions …

C0.1 Multi-instrumental Approach as a Mitigation Strategy for Space Weather Hazard Space weather refers to the variations in the Sun, solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere, which can affect the performance of a wide range of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and pose a danger to human health and safety. Space weather is mainly driven …
