At session INTEGRATED SYSTEMS Prof. D. Moormann (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) presented his invited paper An Integrated Navigation Approach for Autonomous Operation of a Parcel Delivery UAV.

The second invited paper Problems and Features of Navigation and Motion Control for Nanosatellites: Design Experience and Lessons Learned was presented at Session III - SPACECRAFT CONTROL AND NAVIGATION by D. Eng. Sc. Prof. I.V. Belokonov (the paper was prepared by the group of scholars from Korolev National Research University (Samara University), Russia).

The third invited paper Satellite Methods for Gravity Field Study. Status and Development Prospects prepared by the group of scholars from JSC Academician M.F. Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems, Russia, was presented at Session IV – METHODS AND MEANS OF GRAVITY FIELD MEASUREMENT by D. Eng. Sc. V.E. Kosenko.

The authors of poster papers at the plenary sessions were given 3 min to present the main idea of the paper with 1-2 slides, if any; further discussion of papers was continued at the posters.
Participants eagerly exchanged their opinions in informal discussions at the posters and on the sidelines of the Conference.
