New Space Atlantic Summit 2019 in the Azores

On June 21st and 22nd, the island of Santa Maria, in the Azores, will host the second edition of the New Space Atlantic Summit. The “Portugal Space Strategy 2030” and the recently founded Portuguese Space Agency – Portugal Space will be the starting point for the discussion of topics such as emerging processes and products to boost the exploration of data and signals in the space sector through the use of applications and services based on or enabled by space. The event will contribute to the discussion of new services such as autonomous navigation and environmental sustainability, as well as the development, construction and operation of space infrastructures (notably a spaceport).

The New Space Atlantic Summit 2019 follows the main conclusions of the first edition, which took place in Lisbon in May 2018 and brought together new actors and established participants in the New Space sector. It is organized by Portugal Space in collaboration with FCT, the Atlantic international Research Centre – AIR Centre and the European Space Agency. The event's program includes themes such as sustainable development, maritime applications and other applications that impact our daily lives, education for space, discussion on specific legislation and also several networking moments that will allow the exchange of ideas and experiences among participants.
