Le prochain séminaire du laboratoire CEDRIC sera organisé par l’équipe LAETITIA. Il aura lieu le mardi 10 février 2026, de 10h à 11h dans la salle 11-A3-33 (accès 11, escalier A, au 3ème étage). Gunes Karabulut-Kurt, Professeur à Polytechnique Montréal présentera ses travaux intitulés « Role of Communication Systems in Space Domain Awareness ».
Title: Role of Communication Systems in Space Domain Awareness
Abstract: Earth’s growing low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks provide diverse services, but they also bring risks that are associated with collision risk, interference, orbital debris, and limited Resources. Increasing spacecraft strains ground station capabilities. Proper resource management and coordination are essential. Addressing these issues is vital, especially in the face of attacks or unforeseen events. Stakeholders explore Space Domain Awareness (SDA) to detect, track, and understand space objects. SDA aims for situational awareness, safety, security, efficiency, and resilience. This talk introduces SDA, delves into future security threats, and explores communication systems’ remedies. Preliminary results will be presented along with the open issues.
