Held annually, Reinventing Space (RISpace) is a conference and exhibition dedicated to one of the fastestgrowing sectors: low cost access to, and utilisation of, space.

The global economic climate is creating demand to reduce expenditure, leading to new challenges andopportunities in world space. The need to create dramatically reduced-cost, more responsive systems andlaunchers capable of delivering to space quickly, cheaply and reliably has never been more vital.

RISpace brings together industry, agency, government, financiers, academia and end users for a second-to-none networking opportunity in the low cost access arena.

The 14th Reinventing Space conference and exhibition takes place at the Royal Society inLondon between Monday 24 and Thursday 27 October 2016.

An extra day on Friday 28 October includes a site visit to Airbus Defence and Space inStevenage.

The host country for this year's conference, the United Kingdom, has a strategy to grow its share to over10% of the world space market by 2030 – a market forecast to be worth at least £400 bn by that year.

The primary purpose of revenue from the Reinventing Space conference and exhibition is to raise funds for the mission of the BritishInterplanetary Society – initiating, promoting and disseminating new concepts and technical information about space flight andastronautics. The BIS is the world’s oldest space advocacy organisation.

Pre-conference afternoon

12:15 EXHIBITION SET UP BEGINS12:30 REGISTRATION OPENS

13:00 PANEL: Marine SurveillanceChair: Stuart Martin (Satellite Applications Catapult)

More than 90% of the world’s trade goods and more than 70% of global crude oil are transported by sea. As shipping traffic grows,the pressure on the world’s oceans is increasing: not only is there more likelihood of accidents and associated environmentaldamage, shipping traffic is also increasingly the target of piracy, organised crime and terrorism. Moreover, illegal maritime activitiessuch as illegal fishing, drug trafficking, weapon movement/proliferation and illegal immigration are constantly on the rise.

14:40 COFFEE BREAK

15:00 PANEL: Is the future for Commercial SAR bright… Or a bust? Chair: David Germroth (PACE)

In this panel we will focus on the future of COMSAR and how each of the panel participants views the market, their uniquecontribution to future health and growth of this market and where SAR applications will dominate. Will the market for COMSARremain an inherently governmental market? Will the World Radio Communication Conference decision to allocate new frequencybandwidths for X-Band Earth Observation Synthetic Aperture Radar systems (600 Megahertz to now reach 1,200 Megahertz)facilitate additional growth in future X-Band SAR satellites and applications? You hear from many circles that SAR providescapabilities and advantages over electro-optical imaging systems and that the strategic and thus the tactical value of commercial SARare finally being recognised in the GEOINT community. Many point to products like the highly accurate global digital elevation andterrain models known as the WorldDEM or the many maritime domain awareness applications and growing line of SAR basedpersistent surveillance products for regions with chronic cloud cover as examples. Will future SAR systems or applications providebetter information or image resolution quality? Will new technologies, advances in data capture and processing and access to higherbandwidth enable the acquisition and processing and dissemination of richer, more detailed data at a significant cost savings?

16:30 PANEL: Spaceborne Laser Communications: Will it reinvent how we use space?Chair: David Germroth (PACE)

Free Space Laser Communications could revolutionise how geospatial data and information is managed from Spaceborne andAirborne platforms. In the not-so- distant future, Airborne and Spaceborne Laser Communications Terminals (LCTs) will provideremote sensing missions (ISR, weather, disaster response), defence, robotic, manned/unmanned space and airborne communitieswith faster data transmission as well as larger data volume and tasking capabilities. Laser communication data relays will reducesystem response time (latency, reactivity) and disruption to a level where near-real- time geospatial data delivery capabilities willbecome a reality on a global scale. The Free Space Laser Communications panel will provide an overview of the current status of thevarious laser communication technologies and programmes along with current and future deployment schedules. The panel is aneffort to bring to light how laser communications could reinvent how we use Space. The panelists are asked to discuss the potentialimpact of their technologies on the diverse segments of the space, aerospace and geospatial intelligence industries and outlinepotential related opportunities for Business-to- Business and Business-to- Government collaboration and partnerships. The panel isintended to provide a forum to explore ways industry can work together to harness this disruptive capability for the benefit of all.

15:50 PANEL: The New Space Revolution – Transforming How We Observe Earth Chair: David Germroth (PACE)

From agriculture & mining to traffic observation, mapping & weather, the invasion of small satellites is causing an incredibleparadigm shift in the world of Earth observation and could have tremendous potential in the commercial and government realms.Drawn by lucrative business prospects, companies and capital around the world are fueling this small satellite rush and disruptingmarkets and governments alike. Small satellites have emerged as one of the principal driving forces for democratising of spaceactivities. Defense and Government sectors require both remote sensing intelligence to detect and classify objects and alsoconnectivity for secure, mission-critical communications. Even the US defense and intelligence communities are getting on board thetrain, with the National Reconnaissance Office, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, the U.S. Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command andthe U.S. Air Force’s Operationally Responsive Space Office deploying small satellites for research and development purposes. Whilethe small satellites topic is not new, what’s different this time? What kinds of improvements do small satellites bring to existingsolutions? What kinds of innovative new solutions might materialise? Who are the important customers and what are their primaryconcerns and requirements? What “traditional” types of capacity and services are changed by the growth in small satellites? How dosmall satellites affect the satellite market as a whole? What applications are being impacted by this new paradigm? These are a fewof the questions the New Space panel seeks to address.

Reinventing Space 2016 Gala Dinner

This year’s Sir Arthur Clarke Awards will be hosted at the 14th Reinventing Space Conference on the occasion of its Gala Dinner which will formally close RISpace. Better known as ‘The Arthurs’, they have been presented annually since 2005.

The Dinner will take place at 8pm on Thursday 27 October in the Wellcome Trust Theatre at the Royal Society.

The Arthur C. Clarke Awards. recognise and reward those individuals and teams that have made notable or outstanding achievements in, or contributions to, all space activities. Unlike many other awards, nominations can be made by the general public.

FRIDAY 28 OCTOBER 2016

Site visit to Airbus Defence and Space (Airbus DS)

On Friday 28 October, all RISpace delegates are welcome on our Friday site visit.

Important: To both sign up and to take part, you must be in possession of an RISpace delegate badge to be shown on both entry ontothe bus and into Airbus DS. The badge can be of any type – standard, discount or a day ticket for any day of the conference. You mustalso bring along a form of photo ID such as a passport or driving licence.

We will be visiting the premises of Airbus DS in Stevenage.

Airbus Defence and Space teams focus on the design and manufacture of advanced satellites and systems for telecommunications, earth observation, and navigation and science programmes. They also support the UK’s military satellite communications services to the UK armed forces, including mobile voice, video, Internet and broadcast communications. Delivered through the Skynet 5 constellation, these services also meet the needs of other military and government users like NATO.

A bus will pick up delegates outside of the Royal Society at 09:00 and proceed directly to Airbus DS.

The return trip will depart Airbus DS at 16:00 and it is likely that it will drop off delegates at the following locations:

• Stevenage station

• Baker Street station (as required)

• Royal Society, returning for 18:00.

Since spaces are limited, sign up at the RISpace website to reserve your place: rispace.org/events/friday-site-visit-2016
