Safety is a concept which combines land, sea and space. The links and interactions between land, sea and space are technical and logistical in their nature. Space technologies as well as satellite sensing seems to play the increasingly important role in ensuring maritime safety. On the other hand sea is being used as area which can rise the safety of space operations, like lunching and landing of space modules or rockets.
The aim of the conference is to present the variety of technical, managerial and regulatory issues connected with safety at the edge of horizon – where the sea meets the sky.
