<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>

It overlaps a bit with DEFCON26. Phase 4 Ground is exhibiting
with Ettus Research in the WiFi Village this year and we plan to
be in Vegas by the 8th of August. We ran a demonstration booth
in WiFi Village last year and it was very successful. <br>
<br>
It would still be possible to attend and leave early. <br>
<br>
I have never been to this conference, but anything Jan King has
published to/for must be good.<br>

<br>
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>
