2nd International Conference on Small Satellites-2022 (ICSS - 2022)

Theme: Small Satellite Services 2 Anybody Anywhere Anytime (3S 2 3A)

(29-30 April 2022) LPU Punjab, India

“Small Satellite Services 2 Anybody Anywhere Anytime (3S 2 3A)” is a very fitting statement for describing the second International Conference on Small Satellites (ICSS 2022) organized by Lovely Professional University in association with Society for Small Satellite Systems (SSSS) to be held at LPU, Punjab, India from 29-30 April 2022. The small satellites provide an inherent advantage in comparison to their larger counterparts owing to their small size, cost, the timeline for manufacturing to the mission. As a result, a greater number of unique payloads are available for deployment in limited resources to enhance the space services for ‘Anybody Anywhere Anytime’. This is the second event in the country and first by any University especially for highlighting the cutting-edge technological aspects of small satellite missions and business. This flagship conference will explore the realms of a variety of payload designs for small satellites and their applications including other relevant areas but not limited to orbital control systems, power management systems for small satellites, inter-satellite communication, telemetry, telecommand, navigation and RF systems, quality, testing, and reliability aspects of small satellites, spacecraft autonomy, structure, mechanism and materials, constellation management, space law, space business and many more.
