Microgravity and Space Processes TC Webinar: Analog Mission to Mars – HERA C7M2 (AIAA Member Exclusive)

Analog Mission to Mars (HERA C7M2)

AIAA Members: make sure you are signed in to the site with your member credentials to be able to register.

Featuring Special Guest Lecturer, Jason Lee, University of Connecticut

Analog Mission to Mars (HERA C7M2) Description: Jason Lee participated in NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) Campaign 7 Mission 2. Along with 3 other crew members he spent 45 days in the habitat. The purpose of the analog was to simulate a mission to mars, conducting experiments to study the effects of isolation, confinement in a small space, and simulated remote conditions. Throughout the mission, the crew was responsible for carrying out various individual and team based operations.

Dr. Lee will discuss his experience working with the crew and mission control, as well as the observed effects of isolation and communication delays.

Connect with professionals in the Aerospace industry and also meet other like-minded students who share similar interests, and receive feedback on your work! Students may submit any paper that covers the technical disciplines of AIAA, and will have the chance to compete for cash prizes in a fun-filled two-day event. First-place winners will be offered a chance to compete in the 2024 International Student Conference, taking place in conjunction with the 2024 AIAA SciTech Forum, with flight, lodging, and most expenses paid.

*This competition is subject to all applicable laws, including US export laws. US law prevents AIAA from accepting registration fees, awarding prize money to, providing feedback on or publishing entries from, persons residing in Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Crimea, Sudan, or Syria.

AIAA Corporate Member Connect: The New Normal of Aerospace Cybersecurity Compliance

Cybersecurity is in the headlines almost daily. The aerospace and defense industry is already taking big steps to improve the safety and security of IT systems, like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program — CMMC. CMMC is a Department of Defense initiative that takes a continuous, structural approach to cybersecurity. Soon, it will be a feature of all Federal procurements. Agencies like NASA and FAA are already evaluating for solicitations and are not limited to traditional IT.

AIAA Corporate Members can learn more about CMMC at the AIAA Corporate Member Connect event on Thursday, 21 October. Find out more about how CMMC will impact aerospace projects from CMMC Expert and Registered Practitioner, Carter Schoenberg of SoundWay Consulting.

Audience takeaways:

The current status of the CMMC program, and what’s next for its implementation
What is unique about aerospace and military space markets
What your project or company can do now to prepare for CMMC
How CMMC will help your company, your products, and your customers—even if the US government is not your primary customer
