8th BroadSky Workshop
"On-board processing: present status and future trends"
This workshop will present the role of on-board processing in meeting the ever- increasing demands placed on communications,
navigation, and earth observation satellites, as they evolve to meet the needs of current and future applications in service to mankind.
The Workshop will present ongoing space activities and technologies, and also look to the future, by
identifying the latest on-board processing architectures and related
technologies that can help satellites meet the needs of upcoming communications, navigation and earth observations applications
The Workshop is organized by NICT, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology of Japan.
