Seen the current limitations and travel restrictions with regards to the Covid-19 virus, the 4S Organizing Committee has decided for a second postponement. The 4S Symposium will now be held starting from Tuesday, 2 March till Saturday 6 March 2021 .

What’s up? is the special topic of the 2020 symposium. Any contributions addressing the synergies of technologies and services between small satellites, drones and high altitude aerial platforms are warmly welcome. The selected papers will be discussed in a dedicated session on the first day of the event.

The programme will also cover technical sessions as: mission and system analysis; applications such as Earth observation, science, telecommunication and navigation; new technologies at system, sub-system and component level, etc.
A special session will be dedicated to Small Satellites access to space, addressing launchers and platform cross-compatibility.

A CubeSat workshop will be held in parallel to the 4S Symposium, starting from Wednesday 3 March until Saturday 6 March 2021.

The 4S Symposium will also host a product Exhibition (e.g. hardware, software, services) with space for more than 60 exhibitors.
