SEESAW 2022

Space Environment Engineering and Science Applications Workshop

SEESAW2022 offers continued interactions and collaborations between space system design engineers, anomaly analysts, radiation effects scientists, space environment scientists, and others. It invites attendees back to the US following the successful initial workshop in Boulder (2017) and SEESAW-II in Toulouse (2019).

The workshop agenda will include discussions of space system design and anomaly resolution needs relating to the space environment as well as recent scientific model, data, and tool developments that can meet those needs. We will continue discussions of space system operator needs for forecasts and the role of space weather in launch commit decisions. Particular focus will be given to trending topical areas including cis-lunar space, proliferated LEO, polar space and launch vehicles. Goals are to:

  • Identify models, tools and data that may be used for design, anomaly analysis, et cetera with little modification.
  • Foster greater interaction between environment researchers and potential users in the broader space community.
  • Improve alignment of environmental research priorities with societal needs through greater awareness.
  • Provide a venue for practitioners to develop and communicate requirements for space environment climate and forecasting models.
