CANEUS-Shared Small Satellites CSSP (Collective Security, Safety, and Prosperity) International Workshop

To Create a low-cost, internationally shared space based data collection and distribution backbone with exceptionally low barriers to entry for participating nations.

How does it relate to the existing programs?

1 It complements the existing programs, increases their range and adds new functionality to them as:

A. Spaced based AIS (Automatic Identification System) for ships with:

Higher level of persistent coverage
Coverage in currently un-monitored areas
Approximate real time information gathering
Lowest cost to the end users

B. An universal platform for data extraction for:

Global, continuous situational awareness in open sea and shallow waters in support of security and safety
Monitoring the environment and pollution in “unwired” places such as polar regions and open oceans
Monitoring countries’ exclusive economic zones
Monitoring fishing activities and violations
Monitoring borders, deserts and “unwired” areas in support of governance in remote areas

2 It brings a new level of international partnerships:

Open and affordable for all nations, increases geographical coverage, and provides countries having no space capabilities with the benefits of satellite technology
High flexibility of contributions: Partners ,including governments, commercial businesses and academia, can participate with monetary or in-kind investments (building own satellites, contributing launch services or ground station operations, or other contributions to the constellation)
Participating nations become part of a new global information network offering solutions to a wide array of needs in support of global safety, security, environmental protection and economic growth
