AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: Space Debris Mitigation and Management

This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by The MITRE Corporation, and is open to all members of the AIAA and ASCEND communities.

The MITRE Corporation has assembled a diverse panel of high-profile government and industry leaders for a compelling discussion on the challenges associated with space debris and what can be done to improve the space operating environment and make space transportation safer for current and future travelers. A variety of future end states will be discussed and debated, and actionable takeaways will be provided to improve our off-world ecosystem.

ASCENDxSustainability: Sustaining Space for the Next Generation

Today’s space industry is rapidly growing so how do we continue to build and expand our off-world future in a more sustainable and deliberate fashion? How can all aspects – environmental, economic, and social – be integrated into present and future space efforts? How do we implement this domestically as well as internationally?

The space industry was NOT created with sustainability in mind

LEARN how sustainability is defined and embraced for space.

DISCOVER how space companies are taking sustainability to the next level.

DETERMINE how to measure what’s working and what’s not.

EXPLORE recommendations on how to sustain the space ecosystem and how that impacts Earth.

The United Nations defines sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The three pillars of sustainability are commonly acknowledged as environmental, economic, and social. All three must be embraced for an ecosystem to prosper and persevere.

The space industry was NOT created with sustainability in mind. At the beginning of the Space Age, longevity of the industry was not considered…that is why we have toxic chemicals that would be left behind in soils and groundwater, orbital debris, the inefficiency of single-use systems, the lack of a sustainable workforce, etc.

Sustainability is defined and applied in many ways in the space industry, and this informative event highlights a number of these strategies. Through a diverse set of case studies, we will share a myriad of sustainability best practices and lessons learned.

2023 Region VII Student Conference

Abstract Submissions Closed | Abstract Deadline: 13 September 2023

AIAA is pleased to announce that the Region VII/International Student Conference will be held from 27–28 November 2023 at the University of New South Wales Canberra, Canberra, Australia, and online. This conference is intended for AIAA Region VII Students from around the world, with the exceptions of Canada and Mexico, which have been incorporated into AIAA’s North America Regions. The conference will also be hybrid with an online component to accommodate students who are not able to travel to Australia to present their paper in-person.

The AIAA Region VII Student Conference is a technical and oral paper competition for undergraduate and graduate students of all majors! 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. Additionally with respect to the conflict in Ukraine, AIAA will continue our practice not allowing Russian- or Belarusian-based students to participate in the AIAA Region VII Student Conference.

AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: Taking Advanced Computing to the Tactical Edge

This AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series webinar is hosted by AIAA and presented by Lockheed Martin.

Lockheed Martin is assembling an outstanding panel of industry and academic leaders to discuss taking edge computing technologies and capabilities to the tactical edge. Edge computing is a distributed computing topology where information processing is located close to the source of the information, bringing computation and data storage closer to the edge which is typically not done today. There are many commercial applications of edge computing and it is anticipated that there are a number of benefits to the defense battlespace. This webinar will seek to address what edge computing is – as it relates to defense applications, the defense capabilities that are enabled with edge computing, challenges and solutions associated with implementation, as well as defense-specific needs to successfully implement advanced computing capabilities at the tactical edge.

AIAA Mentor Workshop

A great mentor is hard to find. The AIAA Mentor Match program has hundreds of mentees who are looking for someone committed to investing time into assisting in the development and growth of their career and journey in the aerospace field. Join a panel of experienced AIAA mentors as they discuss best practices and how to ensure a productive and positive experience for yourself and your mentee(s).
