Space Debris Conference 2026

GMV is participating in the Space Debris Conference 2026, an international event organized by the Saudi Space Agency (SSA) and held on January 26th and 27th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This gathering is bringing together space agencies, institutions, industry leaders, and experts from all over the world, to address one of the greatest challenges facing the space sector: sustainability for the orbital environment.

This conference has solidified its position as a leading forum for analysis and discussion of space traffic management and the threats associated with space debris. It also provides opportunities for sharing strategies and technologies, and for developing cooperative frameworks to ensure the safe, responsible use of space.

He will be part of a panel discussion entitled “From Vision to Action: The Next Frontier in Active Debris Removal”, focused on the evolution of initiatives for active space debris removal, and the steps that must be taken to advance these capabilities from the conceptual phase to real operations.

Then on January 27th, Alberto Agueda, GMV’s Manager of Space Surveillance and Space Traffic Management, is participating in the panel discussion entitled “Tracking the Threat: Space Debris and Traffic Coordination”, to discusses the current challenges related to space traffic surveillance, tracking, and coordination, as well as the role of advanced systems for monitoring and decision-making.
