ASCENDxWebinar: Accelerating Pathways to Space

We’re talkin’ “eat-my-cosmic-dust” orders of magnitude fast.

Strap in with ASCEND and guest experts from Axiom, NASA, and the Fusion Industry Association for a three-hour crash course in how fundamental systems are being transformed fast to help humans adapt to life in space.

Learn the latest about laser-accelerated data communications, the soon-to-be reality of infinitely renewable clean energy, and the engineering of machines and methods to capitalize on these revolutionary advances and rapidly scale up the LEO infrastructure needed to supply and sustain our off-world future.

Woosh.

SciTechxWebinar: Flying Is Safe—Is Air Travel?

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on commercial aviation and the over 65 million jobs directly and indirectly connected. The aerospace industry is not simply waiting for the pandemic to pass but is actively seeking and testing data to drive solutions today.

This two-part webinar was facilitated by well-known aerospace journalist Miles O’Brien and AIAA Executive Director Dan Dumbacher.

In Part I we heard from leaders of the global air travel ecosystem on how they are working together to build the traveling public’s confidence back with real data and communication.

Part II took a deeper technical dive into what and how data within the global air travel ecosystem are being tested, what are the results, and what are the next steps to ensure that not just flying is safe, but air travel is too.

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.

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:

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.
