SESAR Young Scientist Award 2023

SESAR Young Scientist Award 2023

27-30 November, Sevilla, Spain

Are you a young scientist active in the field of air traffic management (ATM) and aviation? Are you looking for the perfect opportunity to showcase your talent and advance your career? If yes, then look no further… the SESAR Young Scientist Award is for you!

The SESAR Young Scientist Award recognises young scientists, who have demonstrated excellence in ATM and aviation-related research fields. The award also provides researchers starting out in their career with an opportunity for further professional development.

A further objective of the award is to showcase the potential of young talent to formulate fresh ideas and solutions to the challenges facing ATM and aviation.

The 2023 edition of the award has widened its scope from previous years and is now open to two categories:

  • PhD scientists; with the chance to receive a prize of EUR 5 000
  • Undergraduate or Master students; with the chance to win a prize of EUR 1 500

Contributions are welcome from citizens or residents in an EU Member State or an Associated Country to the Horizon Europe Research and Development Framework Programme (Horizon Europe).

Up to three short-listed candidates for each category will be invited to join the SESAR Innovation Days 2023 from 27-30 November in Sevilla, where the winner of each category will be publicly announced during a dedicated ceremony.

The deadline for applications is 8 September 2023, 24.00 CET

    Introduction to the design of LEO nanosatellite orbits for global and local coverage

    Introduction to the design of LEO nanosatellite orbits for global and local coverage

    12/13 December 2022

    This webinar will present the main criteria needed to optimize the design of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations for global and local coverage.  It will describe the main drivers in defining constellation architecture and provide mathematical means to implement trade off and optimization studies. Orbital evolution will be analyzed using perturbed two-body Keplerian equations and expressions for repeated ground track and revisit time orbits will be derived. Starting from an overview of constellations for global coverage (Walker and Street of Coverage) the webinar will focus on local coverage patterns using special architectures for regional constellation design (flower constellations) aimed at continuous monitoring of areas of interest. Optimization approaches based on genetic algorithms and particle swarm will be described. Applications of constellations for analysis of dedicated areas (Veneto region) will be presented along with examples of configuration achieving maximized visibility from multiple ground stations.

        An overview on space debris protection best practices

        An overview on space debris protection best practices

        28-29 November 2022 9:00-11:00 CET

        Space debris represent a real threat to the Earth orbit access and utilization. In the development and management of a space mission, it is important to focus on the evaluation of impact risk, the protection of spacecraft from debris impact, and the modelling of impact-induced fragmentation.

        This webinar will focus on the current status and the most promising advancements in this field, introducing the best practices suggested by the scientific community and focusing on specific case studies. Attendees will learn about recent advances in catastrophic fragmentation modelling due to hypervelocity impact, impact risk assessment, spacecraft protection.

        The last hour of the webinar will focus on impact testing, with details on the existing technologies and facilities and the current perspectives for the sector.

          14-15 November 2022 10:00-12:00 CET

          Deliver robotic platforms and, in the next future, human missions on a planetary body with an atmosphere is a significant technological challenge. Onboard data acquired during Entry Descent and Landing (EDL) mission phases are typically used to verify the engineering system performances. Nevertheless, such data carry out much information of great scientific value. This webinar introduces the post-flight analysis of EDL mission data with a particular focus on the reconstruction of atmospheric profiles building upon the experience with past missions such as Huygens end ExoMars-2016 and presenting real-world case studies.
