Details Agenda/Technical Program Manage Submissions

Please direct questions to: William Devenport, Virginia Tech, Alec Wilson, University of Southampton or Phil Joseph, University of Southampton.

The AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference has established itself as the premier international forum for the field of aeroacoustics. It offers scientists and engineers from industry, government and universities an exceptional opportunity to exchange knowledge and results of current studies and to discuss directions for future research. Papers that address all aspects of the generation, propagation, and control of vehicle noise, as well as the effect of noise on structures and individuals are solicited.

The program’s technical content will include theoretical, experimental, and numerical contributions that describe original research results and/or innovative design concepts including those related to recent advances in low-carbon aircraft architectures and urban air mobility vehicles. In addition, in-depth reviews and timely surveys will be considered. Topics identified for the conference are listed below. Papers in other related areas, including the application of aerospace noise suppression technologies in other industries, and non-aerospace research with potential application to the aerospace industry are encouraged.

Red Rover, Red Rover, Send Curiosity Right Over

  • students

The Orange County Section will host a presentation by Todd Barber, senior propulsion engineer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His presentation will cover Curiosity’s mission to the red planet in detail. Topics to be discussed include a bit on the history of Mars rovers at JPL, the scientific motivation for Curiosity, and the preparations for launch two days after Thanksgiving 2011. Todd Barber has spent two decades as lead propulsion engineer on the Cassini mission to Saturn, following part-time work on the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission, Deep Impact mission, and the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission, which landed the large rover Curiosity on the red planet on August 5, 2012.

2022 Region VII Student Conference

AIAA is pleased to announce that the Region VII/International Student Conference will be held from 28–2Agenda 9 November 2022 at the University of Adelaide, in Adelaide, 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 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 2023 International Student Conference, taking place in conjunction with the 2023 AIAA SciTech Forum, with flight, lodging, and most expenses paid.

This competition is subject to all applicable laws, including US export laws. With respect to the conflict in Ukraine, AIAA will continue our practice not allowing Russian- or Belarusian-based students to participate in the 2022 AIAA Region VII Student Conference, either in person or online.

Tech Talk Series: Advances in Flight Mechanics Modeling and Simulation with Dr. Rafael Lugo

Come and enjoy a lunch & learn Technical Seminar hosted by the AIAA Hampton Roads Section.

Flight mechanics modeling and simulation is an area of continuous development. One of the industry-standard simulation tools in the Program to Optimize Spacecraft Trajectories II (POST2) is developed and maintained in-house at Langley Research Center. Recent uses of this tool include assessing GN&C performance of human-scale Lunar and Mars landing systems using generalized low- and medium-fidelity navigation sensor models required for precision landing. This talk will review recent POST2 simulation developments, as well as how current and planned advances in GN&C modeling enable rapid assessment of spacecraft integrated performance.

Dr. Rafael Lugo is an aerospace engineer in the Atmospheric Flight and Entry Systems Branch at NASA Langley Research Center. Since 2019 he has been a Civil Servant at NASA LaRC, and is currently the flight mechanics integrated performance simulation lead for the NASA/SpaceX Artemis Human Landing System. He is also the lead developer for the Program to Optimize Spacecraft Trajectories II (POST2).
