Please take a look at these IAC virtual sessions if you cannot attend in person and take advantage of them!  If you have any questions, send them to IACvirt...@gmail.com.

The Young Professionals Programme Committee aims to allow as many people as possible to participate in the International Astronautical Congress.  This year the committee is is co-hosting 4 virtual sessions, which will be run online using web-conferencing software.  For anyone who cannot travel to Cape Town, this is an opportunity to get involved and give a presentation, or just log in and watch.

 

The sessions do not require written papers, only presentations geared towards sharing knowledge in the particular field.  They are aimed at young professionals, but all are welcome and submitting an abstract is an easy email process.

 

The four virtual forums that will be run during the conference week are:

 

1. Human Space Endeavours: Forum targets individuals and international organizations with objectives of sharing best practices, future projects, research, and issues for the Next 50 Years of Human Space Endeavours!

 

2. Flight Operations: Targets hands-on flight control/operations personnel from multiple international organizations with objectives of sharing best practices, lessons learned, and issues for both human and robotic operations.

 

3. Space Communications and Navigation: Relevant topics include advanced technologies and systems and emerging markets for: fixed and broadcast communications, mobile satellite communications and navigation technology, space navigation systems and services, and near-Earth and interplanetary communications.

 

4. Entrepreneurship and Investment: The Entrepreneurship and Investment Virtual Forum is targeting young business professionals from all nations, with objectives of understanding the global space market.

 

Please see the attached flyers for more information and abstract submission instructions.  

 

For any questions, please send an email to IACvirt...@gmail.com .
