Conference summary

S. Rucinski and W. W. Weiss

It is highly appropriate that the Second BRITE Conference has taken place three years after their launches which led to creation of the BRITE Constellation and 11 years after the first of the BRITEs were funded by Austria. In this time, particularly in the two years since the launches of the Polish and Canadian satellites, the Constellation reached its full maturity passing the point of over two million individual observations from the five operating satellites. With the high level of performance of its satellites, the BRITE Constellation currently enjoys a peak of its efficiency and scientific productivity which is fully expected to last for the next several years.
