CPS

International Astronomical Union Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference

I have the pleasure of serving as the IAU CPS SatHub Visual Observation Campaign Coordinator

My personal goal is to provide real data to the stakeholders and engineers involved to make this exciting next step in global communication as unobtrusive to the natural world and human experience as possible. No one can solve this problem by describing it qualitatively.

Meredith Rawls, a Research Scientist at the University of Washington, allowed me to post an abridged version of her description of the new IAU Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference (CPS), particularly SatHub that she co-chairs. I am the IAU CPS SatHub Visual Observation Campaign Coordinator . There is also a more in-depth look at SatHub at SatHub In Depth, by Siegfried Eggl
