“Mega constellations, their applications”, presented by Bernard FOING, Director EuroMoonMars, prof Leiden/Amsterdam/EPFL
“Theirimpact on astronomy”, presented by Olivier HAINAUT, astronomer at ESO, Munichaux
The double conference will be broadcast live on the Youtube channel of the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie.
