KEY THEMES
The Space Tech Conference program will address key issues impacting the commercial, military and government space sectors over a three-day learning program.
Day 1 – Commercial Collaboration
Don’t miss key insights to into where the commercial space sector is heading, what market challenges must be overcome, and where public and private sector can develop successful partnerships. As military and government continue to operate within falling or stagnant budgets, their ability to invest in R&D and adopt new technologies is hampered. Collaborating with commercial partners offers an invaluable opportunity to leverage the technical expertise and resources of the private sector. Hear from SpaceX, NASA and many others on May 19!
Day 2 – Military Space
How is the Air Force delivering national security space requirements with shrinking budgets? How are missions changing as we move to smaller, shorter life, lower-cost disaggregated systems, and how will this move be managed and funded? What’s driving the trend towards using small and mid- size businesses? Discuss these key questions and learn how the military can work with commercial partners to deliver required defence capabilities with fewer resources. Key focus areas include supporting weather reporting requirements for 21st century warfare, ground network architecture optimization and transitioning technologies for national security space.
Day 3 – Small Sats
New for 2015! The Small Sats focus day examines the business case, market potential and launch options required to support the continued growth of this affordable route to space. Led by Dave Barnhart (ex-DARPA) the day examines key issues including rationalizing the economics of small sats, developing enabling technologies for improved performance, ground network architectures and affordable launch options.
