Forum 360: Perspectives on Electrified Aircraft Propulsion
The panel brings together representatives from industry, government, and academia to discuss their perspectives on electrified aircraft propulsion. What propulsion architectures are being considered, what progress is being made, and which technology challenges are limiting successful applications?
Forum 360: Sustaining Mission Possibilities Through Enabling Technologies
The Mission: Are the technologies defined first or it is by working towards the goals of the mission that enable the technologies? How do these technologies then make the jump to broad public consumption? And how does this fit into the sustaining cycle around new projects and investigations that may take decades to complete? This panel will consider these questions and others questions with an eye towards energy conservation, power generation, and propulsion systems.
Forum 360: Sustaining the LEO Ecosystem
LEO is becoming, and will continue to become, more crowded as access to space and technology is democratized. Propulsion and energy are key components in fully realizing the potential of LEO satellite operation – from system launch to de-orbit and nearly everything in between. Hear from experts in these fields on the latest technologies, methods, and how they are working across disciplines to ensure the viability and longevity of the LEO ecosystem.
