Chairs: Meredith Rawls, Tony Tyson

The goal of this session is to familiarize science users with the likely impact of the new generation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites on Rubin Observatory's data and science. Simulations of glints from space debris will be shown. We will discuss plans for dealing with various flavors of streaks and flares from non-astrophysical sources, and how streak will be masked.  Finally, national and international policy issues will be discussed.
