In view of the recent deterioration of the on-orbit environment associated with advances in space development and the increasing number of planned launches, space debris countermeasures are becoming increasingly important for sustainable space development and utilization. The 12th Space Debris Workshop will be held as one of the largest space debris discussion forums for stakeholders in Japan, providing information on domestic and international technical trends related to space debris issues, and fostering active cooperation among researchers.
We invite submissions for oral and poster presentations in both English and Japanese sessions to foster wide-ranging discussion among domestic and international participants. We look forward to your participation.
