Stop by this interactive session with some of AIAA’s technical committee members. Learn what exactly technical committees do, what initiatives they’re currently working on, when they meet, and how you can bring your YP perspective to them!
Participating Technical Committees include:
GoFly is a $2,000,000 competition to create personal flyers. GoFly’s CEO, Gwen Lighter, will provide new details on joining GoFly as a new Team, new Sponsor, and attending the grand Final Fly Off event.
Grab a foam rocket launcher and take aim at the bullseye for your chance to win a prize! Rockets are provided.
Join our expert bartender in a lively one-hour tutorial.
Join Higher Orbits to learn about its latest initiatives to inspire the next generation of STEMists & Explorers with spaceflight. Abby Maltese and Claire Pickerel will discuss their Go For Launch! experience, their pursuits in STEM, and student science in space.
Didn’t get your question answered during the Thursday morning plenary? Come to the HUB to hear Lori Garver, Chief Executive Officer, Earthrise Alliance, continue the conversation on how “Engineers Build the World”.
Powered by AIAA, ASCEND is building a fast-growing community that propels the global conversation about space commerce, exploration, and new discovery. Before ASCEND launches its main programming in November 2021, get a taste of the type of cross-cutting content that is part of this event. Join ASCEND Executive Producer, Rob Meyerson, for a special play-back of an ASCENDxSeries session “New Opportunities in Fusion for Space Power and Propulsion” that was put on in partnership with the Fusion Industry Association. Speakers featured in this session include Julie Reiss (The Aerospace Corporation), Stephanie Thomas (Princeton Satellite Systems), Setthivoine You (Helicity Space), Doug Witherspoon (NearStar Fusion), and David Kingham (Tokamak Energy).
Unmanned systems are proliferating globally, performing new roles, enabling new capabilities and expanding into new airspace. Digital acquisition paradigms are requiring modern design methods to responsively provide cost-effective designs. Airspace access is a key enabler for new roles and services performed by UAS, particularly in the commercial sphere, and both simulation and real world demonstrations are helping to expand that frontier. Come hear the latest about how General Atomics Aeronautical Systems is meeting their customers’ needs and then join them at their booth to discuss how you can collaborate.
To help celebrate the momentous 50th anniversary of the Apollo, we will be screening the movie First Man, the riveting story of NASA’s mission to land a man on the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the years 1961-1969. Popcorn will be provided!
