Special Session 5

 

Science and Technology of Ultra-low Earth Orbit (ULEO) Spacecraft | 超低地球轨道航天器的科学与技术

Introducation:

Ultra-low Earth orbit spacecraft operate at altitudes between 100 km and 250 km utilizing the residual atmosphere. This regime presents unique challenges and opportunities, particularly for Earth observation and communication applications. The special session focuses on the themes including air-breathing electric propulsion, aerodynamic design, materials and structures, control and applications of ultra-low Earth orbit spacecraft, which brings together representatives, from industry, academia, space agencies and government sharing their knowledge and experience.
