    <p>There's an outside chance I might get to go this year.  Not
      presenting anything, but we usually have a handful of folks from
      VT that present their work there (usually students presenting on
      various aspects of our cubesat missions), and I've been wanting to
      go for a while, but have always had conflicts (this potentially
      overlaps with the Rocksat-X sounding rocket launches).  Really
      boils down to whether we can swing the travel funding.</p>

                          32nd Annual<br>
                          Small Satellite Conference<br>
                          <br>
                          August 4-9, 2018<br>
                          <br>
                          The growth of small satellites has been fueled
                          by the promise of shorter development cycles,
                          lower cost, new technology, and more frequent
                          access to space. As on-orbit results pave the
                          way, small satellites are increasingly being
                          considered for critical, high-value missions.
                          These are taking the form of emerging
                          applications with highly constrained payload
                          requirements, new system architectures that
                          seek operational resiliency, and numerous
                          other user-driven conditions for availability.
                          With affordability and responsive timelines
                          being a classic imperative for small satellite
                          missions, appropriate technical and
                          programmatic approaches must match these
                          expectations. Developers are now seeking
                          innovative ways to increase the odds of
                          mission success by employing diverse design
                          techniques, autonomy methods, and streamlined
                          processes that help identify and mitigate
                          potential issues. However, a balance must be
                          found between lessons learned and new concepts
                          that achieve mission success.<br>
                          <br>
                          During the 32nd AIAA/USU Conference on Small
                          Satellites, we will explore the new
                          technologies, design methods, processes,
                          operational constructs, and activities that
                          inform and secure the success of small
                          satellite missions.<br>
