Led by Skoltech professor Alessandro Golkar and organized by the university’s Strategic Innovations Research Group and the Space Center for Innovation and Research, this workshop will broaden the FSS research community by opening this cross-cutting problem to experts on all related domains and strengthening the links with researchers on similar topics worldwide. The workshop aims to forge links to create a multidisciplinary and international research community that will follow novel approaches to innovate the way in which spacecraft missions are conceived, designed, implemented, and operated. It is through this process that we will create transformational new space science and technology.

Federated satellite systems have recently been proposed as open satellite constellation concepts for opportunistic sharing of data relay, processing power and on board storage services. FSS architectures operate by exploiting unused telecommunications and processing capacity available in participating spacecraft at any given time. Related topics of interest include, among others:

  • Heterogeneous spacecraft networks
  • Distributed space systems,
  • Distributed decision making and spacecraft cooperation
  • Satellite Distributed processing
  • Inter-satellite-link payloads
  • Optical space communications
  • Small satellite distributed and collaborative networks
  • Space communication protocols development and standardization
  • Free-space wireless power transmission
  • Fractionated spacecraft,
  • Plug and play space hardware
  • Emerging space network concepts. Space internet.
  • Cloud computing concept transfer
  • Resource management under uncertainty and  network scheduling
  • Advanced space system concepts and architectures
  • Business case studies based on space infrastructures
