The 21st Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance (AMOS) Conference was held from 15 to 18 September.

Due to the current pandemic the Maui Economic Development Board, in charge of organizing the event, decided to hold the world’s premier Space Situational Awareness (SSA) conference in all-virtual mode.

Representatives from government bodies, the industry and academia attended this four-day virtual conference, dealing with such matters as Space Domain Awareness (SDA), astrodynamics, machine learning, optical technologies and related policies.

GMV presented a paper called “Satellite maneuver detection with optical survey observations”, explaining GMV’s space-maneuver estimation and detection capabilities during the monitoring and cataloguing of space debris.

The program was rounded out with workshops and courses for interested members of the public, plus a specific syllabus for students pursuing a space career.
