AFRL VOLTRON MEETING – 2025

The VOLTRON meeting series aims to bridge the gap between laboratory-based experiments and spectrally resolved observations of resident space objects with the intent of determining the limits, practicality, and exploitability of color photometry and spectroscopy as a space-domain awareness tool. The workshop provides a forum that brings together researchers from academia, government laboratories, FFRDCs, UARCs and industry to discuss recent advances in these fields.

Topics will include, but are not limited to:

• Advances in observation systems
• Modeling of the reflective properties of spacecraft
• Laboratory-based materials measurements
• On-sky spectral or photometric observations of resident space objects
• Techniques for the analysis of observations
