About this conference
Join us at the 1st International Symposium on Small Launchers and Spaceports 2024!
Held at the ECSAT Centre in Harwell, UK, the 3-day International Symposium on Small Launchers and Spaceports is a unique, technically focused event jointly co-organised between the UK Space Agency (Office of the Chief Engineer) and the European Space Agency (Directorate of Space Transportation). The event focuses on themes supporting the development and sustainment of the small launcher industry and spaceports.
The conference will bring together technically orientated participants from industry, government, academia, and researchers from around the globe. The conference agenda adopts a multifaceted approach which looks to solve challenges in space through the active participation of those involved in the technical elements of launch activity.
The agenda and call for abstracts will be based around five themes:
- System Design & Qualification
- Manufacturing, Quality and Productionisation
- Mission and Operations
- Lifecycle Sustainability
- Market and Regulations
Registration is free, as the co-organisers are hoping to welcome engagement and seek input from varied stakeholders in the technical aspects of launch activities.
Event Objectives
- Demonstrate Commitment to Quality, Reliability and Safety: Highlight your robust testing and operational procedures, building trust and confidence with potential customers, regulators, and partners.
- Sharpen Your Technical Edge: Deep dive into cutting-edge testing methodologies, advanced manufacturing techniques, and streamlined spaceport operations specifically tailored for the small launch market.
