General Information

Welcome to the 11th Annual Technical Meeting (ATM11) for the Center of Excellence for Commercial Space Transportation. The meeting will be held IN-PERSON and VIRTUALLY via Zoom on April 14, 2022 beginning at 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM EDT.

Breaking from past ATM formats, ATM11 will take a comprehensive look at the COE CST with a special focus on the past and future. Former ATMs highlighted current work but because this is the last COE CST event, status reports for all recent tasks will be available in PowerPoint charts and recorded video presentations available for download on the COE CST web site.

This ATM will feature panel discussions by past and current principal investigators and students. Grouped according to the four research areas (RAs), university principal investigators with a long and active COE CST history will discuss their perspectives on the following topics:

Interspersed throughout the day will be video testimonials and messages from COE CST alumni and sponsors.

This meeting provides a forum for technical discussions of research results from the COE CST projects. These are exciting times to be involved in the cutting edge of commercial space transportation. Therefore, your participation and input are important aspects of the Commercial Space Transportation industry.

There is no registration fee.

Registration is required to receive the Zoom link sent via a separate email.

It is recommended that you preview the Presentation Videos before the meeting for more robust participation.
