The Aerospace Testing Seminar (ATS) provides a forum to communicate and exchange knowledge about the improvement and implementation of aerospace testing technology that will benefit current and future space programs. The theme of the 25th ATS is "Balancing the Basics with Innovation for Mission Success." Topics will include the need for effective testing in a challenging project environment with constrained budgets, increasing complexity of space systems, and more stringent design requirements.

Aerospace professionals have realized that the increasingly competitive business environment and customer priorities have placed a stronger emphasis on optimizing the approach to mission success. The mission failures of the past decade have shown that effective testing programs are critical to mission success.

Session topics include:

  • Integrated Development and Operational Test and Evaluation for Successful Operations
  • Test Efficacy and Standards, Including Recent Lessons Learned
  • Ground Segment Test
  • Strategies and Methodologies
  • Innovations in Test Facilities and Equipment
  • Instrumentation, Data Acquisition, and Evaluation
  • Modeling, Analysis and Simulation
  • Flight Software System Integration and Test
  • Management of Test and People
  • Testing Challenges for Human-Rated Space Systems

The ATS preseminar tutorial program will feature classroom-style presentations of interest to professionals at all levels of experience.
