Spanish Contributions to the Space Surveillance and Tracking Program (SST)
On July 12th and 13th the Summer Course entitled "Spanish Contributions to the Space Surveillance and Tracking Program (SST)" was held at the Palacio del Conde Luna in the city of León, organized by the Aerospace Engineering Area of the University of León.
The main objective of the conference consisted in the presentation, from a technical perspective, of the challenges posed by space-based threats due to space debris and near Earth space objects (NEOs). Both of them condition the development of the operations in the space. Besides, in some cases, they might entail a risk for the general population if producing an impact.
The architecture and functionality of the different surveillance and tracking systems of those threats were also addressed, emphasizing the most important contributions that Spain is making into this field.
Aeroespace Technology at Expociencia '18
The Aerospace Technology group works on the development of satellite-based space missions and stratospheric platforms. Aerial vehicles are studied and their aerodynamics and propulsion investigated. In addition, the applications developed support the detection of forest fires and the monitoring of critical infrastructures.
The group has organized a series of activities in order to bring research and teaching in aerospace technology that takes place at the University of León to society. These activities, with an excellent acceptance, have included the holding of conferences and the realization of demonstrations with real aerospace material that visitors have been allowed to use.
