AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum and Exposition (AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum)

 

The 2020 AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum will be held as a virtual conference in an online-only format 24–26 August.  Information on the schedule, specific content, format, registration, refunds, and many other details will be available in the coming weeks. We appreciate your patience as we finalize the details for this virtual event.

AIAA recognizes that the face-to-face meeting is ideal for sharing research, ideas, and convening the community. Given the current challenges posed by COVID-19, we feel that the virtual forum format provides the best opportunity for the AIAA community to meet and share information. By removing some of the barriers to traditional forum attendance, including travel costs and time, the virtual forum format will enable greater participation from the aerospace community—traditional and nontraditional. We are excited to use this new format to accomplish AIAA’s mission of helping aerospace professionals and their organizations succeed.

Aerospace Perspectives Series: Space 2050—Our Future Shaped by Today’s Space Technology Advances

This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by Lockheed Martin, and is open to all members of the AIAA and ASCEND communities.

What will the future of space look like in 2050? What technologies will be required to enable future capabilities in space, and how close are we to creating them? The leaders of Lockheed Martin’s space innovation labs will share a vision for the future of space, and showcase key technologies being developing to expand space missions and humanity beyond our home world.

This webinar invites discussion about the future of space in five areas: a “smart” world enabled by ubiquitous communications, extraplanetary operations, space logistics, mission operations command utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning, and space defense to strengthen 21st century security. These areas dive deeper into dynamic mission environments and the emerging technological advancements necessary to operate productively and safely.

ASCENDxNuclear: Nuclear’s Future Role in Space

The growing worldwide desire for a long-term sustainable human presence on the moon, emerging DoD capability needs, and the desire to send humans to Mars in the next 10–20 years may usher in a new Space Age that includes nuclear reactor-powered propulsion and power. Join industry leaders and the greater ASCEND community as we discuss nuclear’s future role in space.

Nuclear power and propulsion technologies have been explored since the dawn of the Space Age. Originally fueled by the Space Race, activities were primarily in the United States and the USSR, the two big nuclear powers at that time. Since then, challenges in funding, safety, policy, and treaties have impeded the progression and maturity of most of these technologies for space applications.

Recent technology advancements, along with political/world changes relative to space, are creating new opportunities and needed capabilities. Join experts from the space industry and government entities to hear about the exciting possibilities that nuclear energy could enable for the new Space Age. Learn about the most recent advancements, programs, and activities in the space nuclear arena, specifically propulsion and power technologies.

EXAMINE the current environment for nuclear systems and applications in space.

DISCOVER ongoing efforts and activities for these promising technologies, as well as future developments and anticipated benefits.

EXPLORE safety, geopolitical, and economic implications.

IDENTIFY government and industry challenges.

Throughout the year, the ASCENDx Series accelerates momentum toward the October ASCEND apex event. The content-driven online schedule features original webinars, collaborative workshops, and comprehensive summits on current topics of interest to professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts.
