2nd announcement of the Grenoble NewSpace Week workshop (Grenoble, France, 14-17 May 2019)

Dear colleagues,

Please find below the 2nd announcement of the Grenoble NewSpace Week
workshop. _*Please do not hesitate to diffuse around you, in your
scientific and/or industrial networks.*_

*Abstract submission and registration* are now possible on the dedicated
conference website:

https://gnsw.sciencesconf.org

or

Early registration for regular and student participants is possible
until April 26, after which the registration fees will increase for all
categories.

The Grenoble University Space Center (CSUG) organizes a scientific and
industrial workshop during the Grenoble NewSpace Week from 14 until 17
May 2019.

NewSpace is the term used for a new development in the design and
operation of space missions that diverges from the traditional mode of
operations previously established by national space agencies. Driven by
the arrival of small (nano-) satellite systems and launch capabilities,
non-traditional actors such as universities and small to medium sized
enterprises have been given access to space. Initially focused on
training a new generation of space engineers, notably through student
projects involving the CubeSat standard, developments over the past few
years have been towards more and more ambitious missions with real
scientific, societal, and commercial returns.

CubeSats have been developed for Low Earth Orbit operation with the
purpose of, among others, Earth Observation, Climate,
Satellite communications, Astronomy and Space Weather studies; and even
an interplanetary mission to Mars.

This workshop focuses on the advanced payloads, subsystem designs, their
standardization, and supporting technology like data management, data
analysis, and artificial intelligence that together make highly
ambitious NewSpace missions possible. As such it addresses an audience
of students, educators, policy makers, scientists and engineers in the
NewSpace domain.

Preliminary program here.

Best regards

Mathieu Barthélemy and Erik Kerstel
