DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Future Directions' Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites an
 d Systems (LEO SatS) Small Project will host a virtual workshop to explore
  the opportunity for IEEE to make a significant impact in this area.\n\nTh
 e global connectivity expectations of the 1990s based on large satellites 
 (e.g.\, Globalstar\, Iridium\, Odyssey\, and Teledesic) did not materializ
 e. The new plans based on massive constellation of robust and resilient\, 
 less complex and less costly LEO satellites (e.g.\, Starlink\, Telesat\, a
 nd Kuiper) may succeed because of the increasing demand for bandwidth and 
 lower latency.\n\nWithin the next 10 years\, the number of functioning sat
 ellites in the low Earth orbit (LEO) is expected to increase by 10\,000 to
  40\,000 from the current fewer than 5\,000\, all sharing their orbits wit
 h millions of debris objects. How safe and sustainable will the current LE
 O services be. How can we help maintaining this critical infrastructure de
 velop? How can we transform it to enhance various classes of communication
 s and develop new ones?\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Future Directions\n\nAgen
