Submit Abstracts by Nov. 10 for 34th Space Symposium Tech Track

Written by: developer

The Space Foundation is accepting abstracts for papers to be presented at the 34th Space Symposium Tech Track, April 16, 2018, at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo., USA. This premier global space conference annually attracts thousands of space professionals from dozens of countries. Abstracts will be accepted until Nov. 10, 2017, and authors will be notified of acceptance by Jan. 4, 2018.

The diversity of Tech Track presentations and speaker topics is drawing increasing numbers of interest from surprising market sectors, not only those traditionally involved in industry, but newcomers and new generations wishing to learn more of the challenges and solutions facing the space industry. Growing numbers of the Tech Track audience members have seized upon opportunities to chat with the event’s presenters. The event sold out last year.

Presenters from all generational strata, from space industry manufacturers and operators, from commercial, civilian or military backgrounds, U.S. or international, are encouraged to submit abstracts for judging. Categories and presentations from 2017’s Tech Track may provide guidance to new candidates for successful submission and acceptance. Click here to see papers from 2017.

Presentations are welcome on technology developments with applications for civil, commercial, entrepreneurial and national security fields. The emphasis should be on recent issues, activities or emerging technologies.

Example topics presented at past Tech Tracks:

  • Space situational awareness
