Submit abstract to speak at CW New Space Tech Days in November
One-day online event in winter 2024 will feature six presentations exploring the increasing importance of composites in the evolving space market. Abstract deadline is July 5.
CompositesWorld has announced that the latest installment in its Tech Days online event series will be focused on the use of composites materials and technologies in today’s space applications. The event is scheduled to take place Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET.
CW’s Tech Days are designed to offer informational presentations from industry experts spanning the entire composites supply chain. The New Space Tech Day will explore the technologies, materials and strategies used by composites manufacturers working in the evolving space market. Presentations from industry experts will emphasize the use of composite materials in applications requiring weight savings, structural benefits and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures that only composites can provide.
Composites have been used in space since our early steps into the cosmos. Often turned to for their light weight and high strength, composites have a history of use in spaceflight applications such as payload fairings, satellite structures and heat shields.
Today, private companies are partnering with NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) in new and exciting ways. Creating everything from telescoping arrays on small satellites to aspects of spacecraft and landers, commercial space companies have helped to streamline the production of mission-enabling parts and structures. Composite materials are playing an ever-growing role in a wide range of these applications including launch systems, landing struts, load bearing structures, propulsion systems, thermal protection systems and many others.
Call for abstracts
Material and equipment suppliers, along with industry experts interested in presenting at the New Space Tech Days event on Nov. 13, are invited to submit abstracts to press@compositesworld.com. Please reference “CW New Space Tech Days” in the subject line. Submitted abstracts will be considered for inclusion in the event agenda. The deadline for abstracts is July 5.
