MONDAY 24 OCTOBER 2016
Reinventing Space 2016 opens on Monday afternoon for a special pre-conference afternoon. It features three special panels.
12:15 REGISTRATION
13:00 PANEL: Marine surveillance by satellite
15:15 PANEL: Is the future for Commercial SAR bright… or a bust?
16:30 PANEL: Spaceborne Laser Communications: Will it reinvent how we use space?
TUESDAY 25 OCTOBER 2016
The first full day of Reinventing Space 2016 is dedicated to technology and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) with papers dedicated to the new services and commercial opportunities that are under-development for our Near Earth Environment. From mega-constellations that will deliver global high-speed internet to on-orbit servicing and commercial debris removal missions, commercial expansion of our Near Earth Environment has great potential over the upcoming years.

WEDNESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2016
The second day of Reinventing Space 2016 is dedicated to access to space and applications. Access to Space concerns the new vehicles, technologies and operational concepts that are radically reducing the cost to reach orbit. Small launchers, reusability and commercial rideshare partnerships all promise to open up the space frontier and are the focus of this session. As important as the technology which is driving the development of space, are the new and innovative business plans which are being adopted by new and established space companies.

The third day of Reinventing Space 2016 features ideas beyond LEO – applications and looking to the far future. The Beyond Earth Orbit session will explore the plans to expand beyond Earth orbit, both for exploration and exploitation of new resources. Resources from the moon, Mars and Near Earth Asteroids all have great promise for the terrestrial economy and space propulsion, but what are the stepping stones to achieve this? Fundamental to a number of the new commercial opportunities are technology breakthroughs. Laser communications, cubesat propulsion, solar sails, on-board advanced data processing all promise to deliver enhance the performance of the next generation satellites.
