This year programme includes a presentation by Jérôme Daquin, Assistant Professor (Department of Mathematics – UNamur) about “Space Debris : From trash to treasure”.
Space debris, composed of dead satellites, upper stages or fragmented pieces from collisions, poses a significant threat for in-orbit operation but also on Earth when those do uncontrolled re-entry in our atmosphere. As the number of objects in Low Earth Orbit rises this became a major concern to avoid chain reaction and jeopardize future use of those orbits. The session will address this issue that requires effective debris mitigation while ensuring demisability of spacecraft while re-entering.
