OGC Geo in Space Workshop

Alexandria, VA

Event supported by Amazon Web Services As we move into the commercialization of space and consider federated constellations of satellites, along with integration of entity communications, a need for architectures and open standards arise. While the government and military have been working with industry to create communication architectures there are still gaps and missing standards especially in certain arenas such as Federated constellations, and international participation and acceptance of new standards OGC, as the leader in Geospatial tech, standards, and innovation and the largest formal consortium of expert organizations in geospatial, is perfectly positioned to bring our collective expertise in geospatial to accelerate the development of interoperability standards for space. In this workshop, OGC, supported by AWS Space and Satellite Solutions division, is bringing space and geospatial stakeholders together to understand current status, gaps and disparities, and interoperability requirements. The outcomes of this workshop help incorporate existing and emerging geospatial computing into standards, tools, and pilots impacting space domain awareness and space traffic management, tracking, and optimization of space resources.
