AIAA Aerospace Perspectives Series: On-Orbit Mission Enhancement and Logistics

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

To ensure mission success, as well as the longevity, flexibility, and value of on-orbit space assets, the space industry is developing a variety of on-orbit satellite servicing capabilities for commercial use and for onboarding to government programs. This event will feature some of the industry leaders who are driving on-orbit satellite servicing capabilities to tell the story of how we are accelerating these advancements to benefit the space industry.

A standardized docking port enables successful on-orbit servicing missions by accommodating a wide-range of Satellite Augmentation Vehicles (SAVs). The port enables SAVs to attach to a host vehicle to provide an expansive selection of mission augmentation including mission enhancements, system upgrades, failure recovery, and alternative communication paths. Lockheed Martin Space has released the first open-source Mission Augmentation Port (MAP) standard and is rapidly expanding its family of high-technology readiness level (TRL) docking ports. Investments in mission augmentation and on-orbit satellite servicing will bring value to the bustling space economy, enhance cooperative architectures, and extend mission longevity.

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.

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.

SciTechxWebinar: 2022 Forum Perspectives, Inspiration, & Lessons Learned

How can we capture the knowledge, messaging, vision, and inspiration gleaned from the 2022 AIAA SciTech Forum and understand the impact for the future of aerospace? How do we create continuity and advance the conversation? Join the 2022 AIAA SciTech Forum Executive Steering Committee in a town hall format Forum 360 to explore key takeaways from the 2022 forum and their thoughts on the future of the aerospace industry. The webinar is free and open to all, and is available on demand:

16th Overset Grid Symposium

Presented By: AIAA Dayton-Cincinnati Section

This international symposium provides an open forum for communication among mathematicians, scientists, and engineers from academia, industry, and government. The technical organization is informal, and only oral presentations are required. The goals of the symposium are to:

  • Communicate recent work, new research ideas, and work in progress
  • Exchange ideas involving overset grid technologies, including unsteady and moving body problems, and emerging hybrid strategies
  • Provide an opportunity for interaction between researchers, developers, and practitioners
  • Improve individual performance and understanding of overset technologies via many tutorial sessions and technical presentations

No written paper is required, and works in development for other technical forums are welcome. Best presentation awards will be made for each technology area.

Key Dates:

  • Tutorial Day 7 October
  • Presentations 8–10 October

Please contact the  AIAA Dayton-Cincinnati Section with any questions.

Aerospace Perspectives Series: Testing and Validating Electric Aircraft Powertrain and Propulsion Systems from an Automotive Electrification Perspective

This webinar is hosted by AIAA, is presented by dSPACE, and is open to the public.

During this webinar, dSPACE, EMPS Consulting, and AIAA will review the adjacencies found when developing electrical powertrain and propulsion systems in the automotive and aerospace industries. The panelists will share all the lessons that have been learned from years of testing automotive vehicle electrification and how these lessons can be implemented when testing electric aircrafts. Given the current push for cleaner energy in both the automotive and aerospace industries, dSPACE is well positioned to bridge the gap in testing, validation, and verification between these giants of the transportation industry.
