2024 Region I Student Conference

Abstract Submission Closed | Registration Deadline: 22 March

Conference Host: West Virginia University
Conference Location: Lake View Golf Resort, Morgantown, WV

Take part in AIAA’s Regional Student Conference by presenting your research in a formal technical meeting, exchange ideas, and discuss programs with students from other universities in your region.

Please note: A university student in good standing at their institution who is also an AIAA student member is eligible to submit a paper to the Regional Student Conference. The submitting and presenting author(s) must be AIAA student members. Any student may attend the Regional Student Conference but may be subjected to a higher registration fee if they are not AIAA members. Please click here for more information to join as an AIAA Student Member.

You must be attending a college/university in Region I to participate in the Region I Student Conference.

Region I includes Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and Washington DC. Additionally, it includes students from the Canadian provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Cash prizes are awarded for first, second, and third place winners for each category. First-place regional winners are then invited to participate in the AIAA Foundation International Student Conference, held during the AIAA SciTech Forum each January.

2023 ASCEND Call for Content Webinar #2

This short webinar will provide a high-level overview on two of the six 2023 ASCEND topics—space traffic management/coordination and space security and protection. Speakers will help spark ideas on how you can participate in the 2023 ASCEND Call for Content and provide tips to help you submit a session proposal or technical paper. A live Q&A will be held at the end of the webinar.

AIAA Rocky Mountain Annual Technical Symposium 2023

Hosted by the AIAA Rocky Mountain Section — The Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering invites you to the 2023 AIAA Annual Technical Symposium

The Annual Technical Symposium brings together the regional leaders, technical experts, and academia in the aerospace and aeronautics industry. ATS is a forum to help shape the future of the industry, a place for people in all stages of their career to gather, network, and collaborate. It is a place to learn a new process, gather inspiration, and make the connection to turn that inspiration into reality. This event is hosted and organized by the AIAA Rocky Mountain Section.

Challenges and of Hypersonic Flight Experiments using Sounding Rockets

In this webinar Ali Gülhan, German Aerospace Center (DLR), will discuss how high-quality validation data that is representative of the real flight environment is necessary for the simulation-based design of flight hardware. Since ground testing facilities have limitations to duplicate the flight environment and numerical tools still have shortcomings in modelling high temperature gas phenomena and gas-surface interaction in such environments, availability of flight data is essential. A complementary validation approach using ground and flight testing for gathering reliable data and validation of numerical tools also is required. Gülhan will explain how simulation of the hot hypersonic flight environment in ground facilities is limited and requires data from further flight experiments. Hypersonic flight experiments by means of multistage sounding rocket configurations are seen as the most cost-efficient options to gather valuable flight data.
