The meeting will take place from 14 to 24 July, 2012, in Mysore, India. For more information, please visit”http://www.cospar-assembly.org/”. The assembly will include sessions coordinated by the Panel on Satellite Dynamics (PSD). For more details, please click consecutively ”Detailed Scientific Event Programs”, ”39th COSPAR Scientific Assembly (upcoming event)”, ”Panels”, and finally ”PSD.1”. For completeness, a description of the session topics is also included below. Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts, 10 February 2012, is approaching rapidly. For instructions, please click ”Abstract Submission and Log-in”. Kind regards on behalf of the COSPAR/PSD organizing committee: Pieter Visser, DEOS, Delft Univ. of Techn., The Netherlands. Pascal Willis, IPGP, Paris, France. Bhola Ishwar, Bihar University, India Othon Winter, FEG/UNESP, Brazil Heike Bock, AIUB, Switzerland Yehia Abdel-Aziz, NRIAG, Egypt Renuganth Varatharajoo, Univ. Putra, Malaysia PS: We remind you that presentations at COSPAR are entitled to generate a future submission in Advances in Space Research (http://ees.elsevier.com/asr) in the AD section (Astrodynamics and Space Debris). Program abstract ---------------- The aim of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics is to support activities related to the detailed description of the motion of artificial celestial bodies. This should be achieved by improvement of the theories of motion and by more sophisticated evaluation of their determining forces. Detailed theoretical understanding of the dynamics of satellites should be matched with the results of precise tracking in order to obtain the most precise knowledge possible of the orbit itself and the corresponding orbital positions. The scope of the Panel on Satellite Dynamics is positioning of a wide range of objects, including Earth orbiting satellites for observing geopotential fields such as GRACE and GOCE, sea and ice level, and navigation satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, or tracking systems such as SLR and DORIS. In addition, positioning plays an important role for the continuously growing number of today´s and future planetary and solar system missions. Moreover, formations of satellites are being realized and proposed for Earth observation and fundamental sciences, that pose very high demands on (relative) positioning and orbit and attitude control solutions (e.g. micro-propulsion). Satellite orbit determination requires the availability of tracking systems, well established reference frames and accurate station coordinate solutions, detailed force and satellite models, and high-precision time and frequency standards. Contributions are solicited covering developments and plans for this broad area of positioning and control. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pascal Willis Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris Ph : +33-(0)1-57-27-84-81 Etudes Spatiales et Planetologie FAX: +33-(0)1-57-27-84-82 35 rue Helene Brion Em : willis@ipgp.fr Paris 75013, France http://www.ipgp.fr/~willis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************************************************************** |
