CANEUS SmallSat Workshop
The CANEUS Shared SmallSat Collective Safety, Security and Prosperity (CSSP) Workshop will take place on 24-27 October 2010 at the NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC), La Spezia, Italy.
The workshop will examine the potential for international collaboration in Shared SmallSats for Collective Safety, Security and Prosperity (CSSP)
CANEUS fosters the coordinated, international development of Micro and Nano Technologies (MNT) for aerospace applications. CANEUS brings together technology developers, aerospace end-users, governmental policy makers and investors from around the world.
The vision for Shared SmallSat CSSP is that of an international effort, in line with national security strategies that call for Cooperative Security to promote safety, security, protection of the environment and global economic development. National commitment to engagement is manifest in programmes and projects across all aspects of international relations; Shared SmallSat CSSP would contribute a “space segment” accessible to all countries through “fractional ownership” in the satellite constellation.
The event aims to make significant advances in identifying issues for the Shared SmallSat CSSP Concept of Operation and international cooperation framework as well as the particulars of international complementary technology developments and benefit applications so that a comprehensive profile of Shared SmallSat CSSP international impact can be quantified. Shared SmallSat CSSP would make collaboration in space accessible to all nations, and would promote its use to foster governance in the difficult, “unwired” regions of the world.
