CONFERS would like to highlight an event of interest to the satellite servicing community: the United States Space Force (USSF), Space Systems Command, Program Executive Officers (PEO) for Assured Access to Space (AATS) will be conducting a Space Mobility and Logistics (SML&L) Reverse Industry and Collaboration Day for systems developers and operators planning to provide SM&L services. The event will be held in El Segundo, CA on September 13-14 and is open to U.S. citizens.

The Reverse Industry and Collaboration Day will feature opportunities for industry representatives to explain how their technologies can support the Government’s future business, technical, and operational plans for SM&L capabilities (to include, but not limited to: Orbit Transfer, Satellite Repositioning, Refueling, Repair, Resupply, Servicing, and Active Debris Removal and Disposal). Companies will also have the opportunity to sign up for one-on-one briefings on a first availability basis.

The event will occur at the Aerospace Corporation, Titan A1 Conference Facility. Please note that registration is limited to a maximum of three people per company and some COVID restrictions apply.

The GSSF, hosted by the Consortium for Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing Operations (CONFERS) is the space sector’s premier in-space infrastructure and operations event.
The 2022 GSSF will feature leading commercial and government satellite operators, satellite manufacturers, satellite servicing providers, policy leaders, financial and insurance experts, and media from around the world highlighting key themes in the satellite servicing segment including:

• How satellite servicing is currently supporting space-sector growth.
• Promising opportunities and critical needs for the future growth in in-space activities.
• Operational experience and results leading to sustained satellite servicing operations.

This workshop will focus on current activities and the future structure of CONFERS. We encourage every CONFERS member to participate, as these workshops are how you can engage with other members and assure that your company’s voice is heard as we shape the future of CONFERS and on-orbit satellite servicing. This is a members-only event.

This workshop will focus on the plans for the future structure and finances of CONFERS post-DARPA, including our addressable “market” for CONFERS and potential business plan concepts. We will also be talking about future CONFERS standards efforts, the initial planning for the 2022 Global Satellite Servicing Forum in October, and some proposals for new CONFERS outreach and communications ideas, along with our usual new member introductions. We also hope to have a special keynote talk from a member of the Biden Administration’s National Space Council to talk about how they are focusing on satellite servicing. We encourage everyone CONFERS member to participate in-person or virtually, as these workshops are how you can engage with other members and assure that your company’s voice is heard as we shape the future of on-orbit satellite servicing. This is a members-only event.

Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, CONFERS will hold its third annual General Assembly in a virtual format. This members-only event will most likely take place in October 2021.

*The GA is a members-only event.*
