Space Tech Conference returns
Once again Space Tech Conference will open its doors in Long Beach, California, to bring together the leading representatives of the military, government and commercial space sectors. An unparallelled line-up of expert speakers at the three-day conference will showcase the breadth of innovation in the industry, discussing issues and opportunities in solving the space sector’s most challenging problems.
With senior personnel from leading organisations coming together, the 2015 event offers unprecedented access to over 60 speakers delivering presentations and panel discussions on key topics relevant to established and new industry players alike. New to the agenda this year is the Small Sats Focus Day. Led by Dave Barnhart from the University of Southern California, it will look at key considerations for the continued growth of small sats and ask: where is the real value in delivering affordable access to space and how can we realise it fully?
The 2015 event will open with a keynote address from Dr Tom Cwik, Head of Space Technology, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), NASA, who will highlight current JPL projects, including results and their application to space missions, to examine advances in space technology for planetary exploration.
"Our expert speakers will deliver experience-rich insights into the trends, challenges, and innovations across the space sector," says Mindy Emsley, Conference Director. "The conference covers a lot in just three days, but resiliency, affordability and mission assurance are key themes underpinning the entire program and will be invaluable to all attendees."
The conference runs alongside Space Tech Expo. Now in its fourth year, the show provides an invaluable opportunity to meet, debate and explore the possibilities with other key industry players.
