Associated Events
A number of organizations will take advantage of the presence of their members at the COSPAR Assembly to organize scientific, business, or social events. The COSPAR Secretariat encourages all groups organizing Associated Events to make them known so that they can be listed in Assembly materials (web, Call for Papers, Program, app, etc.) as appropriate.
Below please find a list of Associated Events brought to the attention of the Secretariat to date:
Room key:
CH = Convention Hall
EC = Exhibition Center
- International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) Day
Saturday, 13 July 2024, 09:30 - 16:00, room CH1-101. Open to all participants.
The International Academy of Astronautics will host its regular Academy Day at the COSPAR Scientific Assembly on Saturday, 13 July 2024, 9:30 – 16:00. Updates on current Academy activities will be provided by IAA leaders. The highlight of Academy Day however will be a technical program comprised of four or five invited lectures on the latest results from Earth and space science research. Featured lectures will be presented by renowned scientists in the respective fields of space science including astronomy, Earth science, heliophysics and planetary science. Lectures will be tailored for a scientifically savvy audience most of whom are not experts in the particular field of the specific lectures. Details will be posted in spring 2024.
- The Korean Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter Mission: Design, Development, Launch, Operation and Science Topics
Saturday, 13 July 2024, 13:30 - 17:30, room TBD. Open to all participants.
The Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO or Danuri in local language) is the first space exploration mission of South Korea. KPLO was launched on August 2023 using a Falcon-9 rocket. With this special event at COSPAR 2024 we will provide a short history of the KPLO mission itself including design, development, international cooperation, launch and operation at mission orbit. In addition, we will highlight some details of the science goals of the KPLO mission for each instrument.
- International Living With a Star (ILWS) plenary meeting
Sunday, 14 July 2024, 09:00 - 17:00, room #EC2-322. Open to all participants.
- International Agency Space Weather Research and Mission Coordination
Wednesday, 17 July 2024, 13:30 - 15:30, room #EC1-315
This session will begin with short, invited presentations by various space agencies that fund space weather research missions, followed by a focused discussion. The discussion will be centered on the need and characteristics, including membership and scope, of a coordinating body for those agencies that fund space weather applied research and missions. This body would provide a forum to share plans and foster discussions leading to possible collaborations that advance understanding and enable progress of space weather operations and applications. This would not be a decisional body and it would complement, not replace, the current space weather operational coordination groups.
- IOCCG Training Session
Thursday, 18 July 2024, 09:00 - 12:30, room #CH-107
In this training session, introduction on GOCI/GOCI-II and its diverse applications, and detailed studies on harmful algal bloom, primary productivity will be discussed. In the training session, GOCI toolbox for processing GOCI images will be dealt with for the users of the satellite images.
- Governance of Space Weather, organized by Korean space Weather Center (KSWC)
Thursday 18 July, 17:00-18:30, room #EC1-315
Presentation and discussion of the status of how space weather support the national space matter including space research & development, space program, space economic and space policy. This meeting is targeted to be Director-level of the space weather center and director/designee responsible for space policy.
- Revision of the NOAA Space Weather Scales
Friday, 19 July 2024, 15:00 - 16:30, room #EC1-218
In 1999, NOAA introduced the Space Weather Scales to communicate to the general public current and future space weather conditions and possible effects. Unchanged since 1999, the Scales are used worldwide to initiate hazard preparedness and mitigation operations. However, space weather capabilities, user base, and user needs have grown and changed dramatically over the last two decades, and the scales no longer meet the needs of the end-user community. Space weather is a global challenge requiring a coordinated global response and consistency and clarity in messaging during space weather storms is imperative for situational awareness and preparedness. Therefore, NOAA has initiated an effort to assess and revise the space weather scales as appropriate, and seeks the input from interested parties around the world.
- ISES (International Space Environment Service) Meeting
Saturday, 20 July 2024 (Closed)
- Institute for Basic Science (IBS) Conference on Planetary Science and Space Exploration (PSSE)
Monday, 22 - Thursday, 25 July 2024, IBS headquarters, Daejeon, South Korea.
Planetary Science and Space Exploration (PSSE) aims to share the latest findings, and recent and upcoming space missions, providing exciting scientific targets for future studies. PSSE welcomes talks and posters on recent results, new methods and facilities, and ongoing modeling efforts that suggest diverse and comparative scientific approaches for general planetary scientists.
.PSSE is held immediately after COSPAR. Each session combines associated planetary science topics, providing excellent opportunities for participants to get an overview of the research trends. This is different from COSPAR, which has specific topics in parallel, resulting in situations where participants likely need to choose to attend one session at a time.
