Dear colleague,
I am excited to announce that we are launching a stream on "OR in Space" as part of the upcoming IFORS conference in Vienna. With this stream, we aim to bridge the gap between the field of Operations Research and the community engaged in space-related research.
We kindly invite researchers and practitioners with expertise related (but not limited to) one of the following topics to contribute by submitting a short abstract:
· space logistics
· trajectory optimisation
· on-orbit servicing
· constellation design
· satellite network optimisation
· orbit selection
· mission planning
· satellite scheduling and coverage
· space-based control problem optimisation
· space debris removal operations
More information about the conference and the abstract submission system can be found at www.ifors2026.at/home
To submit your contribution to the OR in Space stream, you can use the session code 04029937. The abstract has a maximum length of 1500 characters.
Should you have any question related to this stream, do not hesitate to contact me by email (christof.defryn@uantwerpen.be).
