- Non-geostationary large-constellations: deployment and bringing into use, coexistence among them, with the geostationary satellites and other systems, future requirements.

- Mobility: Earth stations in motion (ESIM), licensing issues, future requirements for non-geostationary satellite systems.

- Understanding spectrum needs and regulatory requirements for satellite communications in the Americas continent.

- Science Services: Protection of passive bands, new systems, future requirements.

- Interference to Space Services and Space Monitoring.

- Satellite Innovations and Future Agenda Items for the World Radiocommunications Conference 2023.

Participants attending the meeting will benefit from high quality presentations and discussions among distinguished speakers who will provide the audience with an in-depth understanding of the current situation, evolution and trends in the above-mentioned fields in the region and all over the world. Hence, a complete and fresh perspective in preparation for the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 will be acquired.

In this context, participation of governments, regulators, private sector and any stakeholder of the space ecosystem is expected.

The Symposium will conclude with a technical visit to a satellite manufacturing and testing facilities located in the area.
