Future Corporate-Sponsored Conferences
Ground System Architectures Workshop
Save the date: March 23 - 26, 2009 - Torrance Marriott, Torrance, California
GSAW is an annual workshop that facilitates exploration of issues and potential for consensus in software architectures for spacecraft ground systems (SGSs). It provides an international forum for SGS users, developers, and researchers to share their experiences through presentations, working groups, and panel discussions.
Space Power Workshop
Save the date: April 20 - 23, 2009 - Manhattan Beach Marriott
The Space Power Workshop provides an informal, unclassified, international forum for the exchange of ideas and information on space power. Technical presentations on advances in both components and system concepts are presented.
Aerospace Testing Seminar
Save the date: October 12 - 15, 2009
