Orbital debris poses an increasing risk to operational satellites as more objects are launched into space each year. The slow decay of currently orbiting objects compared to the rate at which new ones are being launched means that the active removal of high-collision risk debris will be essential to maintaining a safe and operational future Lower Earth Orbit (LEO). Our company looks to capitalize on this emerging market through removing high-risk LEO debris either on the behalf of governments or private entities who are not capable of deorbiting their spacecraft at the end of its mission life.

Elementary, middle and high school students are losing interest in STEM and most notably space sciences as they progress through their education. This leads to students graduating from high school with no particular interest in pursuing careers in the space industry. This will no doubt hurt the space industry in the many years to come. Our products and services will add hands-on exciting and rewarding space sciences/engineering projects to students education. These projects will reignite the passion many students have for space and increase the number of students wishing to target the space industry when pursuing their careers. This will also have the positive effect of leading more students into STEM fields.

Apastron technologies will change the way spacecraft communicate by introducing a simple and reliable communications platform that provides 24/7 satellite connectivity with low infrastructure costs. Historically, satellites communicate with the ground using a link between one satellite and a ground station, meaning that communication can only be established for a few minutes per day. Apastron’s radios will network with each other, allowing for satellites around the world to talk with each other and relay data to a small number of ground stations, ensuring that a satellite anywhere in the world has constant communication. Furthermore, since Apastron radios rely on fewer ground stations and no dedicated satellites, constant communication can be accomplished for much cheaper than current solutions. As the nanosatellite industry continues to grow and missions become more ambitious, a better communications solution is needed, and Apastron aims to provide that.

President
McMaster Planetary Society

Sobia Nadeem is a second year Engineering Physics student at McMaster University. She is the President of the McMaster Planetary Society and in November of 2019, her team organized McMaster’s first Space Week. There were several events hosted by other McMaster space teams and clubs during the week, with the McMaster Planetary Society’s Space Industry Night being a highlight. Sobia is passionate about space outreach as well as art. She was a former youth poet for the Hamilton Youth Poets, as well as a former artist for McMaster Unspoken, a poetry initiative on campus. She is excited to co-host the Ascension Space Conference at McMaster University this year!

MAC Dance is an amalgamation of several established McMaster dance organizations representing a team of dancers of all levels, including recreational and competitive teams. All styles are encouraged and welcomed, for individuals interested in a just-for-fun recreational experience. The recreational team’s focus is on an annual dance show, which is completely organized and choreographed by club members consisting of McMaster students.
