This year, the Van Allen Foundation welcomes experts Yves Langevin, planetary scientist from the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale, and Eric de Saintignon, Airbus, for two unique presentations.

On the program:

• Yves Langevin's talk on the Bepi Colombo Mission and the issue of orbital transfers for interplanetary space missions.
  BepiColombo is a mission to explore the planet Mercury, launched on October 19, 2018. Mercury is a little-known planet, yet its proximity to the Sun makes it an important scientific target for understanding the genesis of the solar system.
• Eric de Saintignon on the OneWeb project and satellite constellations.
  The OneWeb Satellites project involves the mass production of 900 satellites weighing 150 kg, using a new production system. They will be sent as a constellation around the globe, providing Internet access to everyone on the planet.
