  Add a meeting to our calendar

Organized by LPI/USRA *

March 2014

1-8	IEEE Aerospace Conference, Big Sky, Montana  The international IEEE Aerospace Conference, with AIAA and PHM Society as technical cosponsors, is organized to promote interdisciplinary understanding of aerospace systems, their underlying science and technology, and their applications to government and commercial endeavors.
4-5	SELENE Symposium 2014: International Symposium of Lunar Science and Exploration Using Data from Multi-Instruments, Tokyo, Japan  Significant progress in lunar science and technology has been made in the last decade by orbiter missions including our SELENE (Kaguya). It is time to start new analyses, for instance using data from multi-instruments and/or lunar samples. For this purpose, we held an international symposium of lunar science, the SELENE SYMPOSIUM 2013, at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), Sagamihara, Japan, last January. The symposium was very fruitful with more than 90 participants from 7 countries. Here, we are pleased to announce the 2nd symposium, the SELENE SYMPOSIUM 2014, in Japan again. The meeting will be held at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), Mitaka City, Tokyo. All scientists and engineers around the world who are interested in lunar science are invited to come together for beneficial discussions on the new views of the origin and evolution of the Moon. Presentation topics will be widely opened.
16	International Workshop on Scientific Opportunities in Cislunar Space (SOCS), Houston, Texas  Cislunar space, from low Earth orbit to the Lunar far side halo orbit (LL2), is a uniquely accessible environment for planetary scientists and explorers providing physical analogs for many extreme conditions from Mercury to Pluto. Cislunar space provides two primary environments for in situ and prepared experimentation: Long duration cryogenic environments down to 25 Kelvin with natural or manmade volatile ices and hard vacuum deep space partials, and plasma and radiation environments. The SOCS workshops and challenges will focus on developing the technologies and techniques to illuminate the chemistry and physics of deep space targets such as the ice giants, icy moons, or the partials and plasmas around near Earth objects (NEOs).
16	SHARAD/MARSIS Data Users' Workshop, The Woodlands, Texas
17-20	Science with the Hubble Space Telescope IV: Looking to the Future, Rome, Italy
17-21	45th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (#LPSC2014) *, The Woodlands, Texas
17-21	Search for Life Beyond the Solar System — Exoplanets, Biomarkers and Instruments, Tucson, Arizona  The goal of the conference is to bring together the interdisciplinary community required to address this multi-faceted challenge: experts on exoplanet observations, early and extreme life on earth, atmospheric biomarkers, and planet-finding telescopes.
18-21	International Workshop on Scientific Use, Digitization and Preserving Astronomical Photographic Records, Prague, Czech Republic
20-22	Meeting of the Astronomical Society of India 2014, Mohali, India
26-28	First ExoMars 2018 Landing Site Selection Workshop, Madrid, Spain

 

April 2014

1-3	International Cometary Workshop, Toulouse, France  The workshop will cover topics ranging from the dynamical and chemical evolution of the solar nebula during formation, to the techniques for measuring the composition of comets. Invited speakers include some of the community leaders in cometary science, measurements and technology development. We will discuss the role that Rosetta measurements will play in understanding the origin of Solar System bodies, and what future missions to comets are being planned.
8-10	Titan Through Time Workshop 3, Laurel, Maryland  We are pleased to announce a third workshop on "Titan Through Time" in 2014 at the Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD, following the success of the previous workshops in 2010 and 2012 at nearby Goddard Space Flight Center. The third meeting will have a similar format, with a 2 1/2 day science program comprised of themed sessions, and featuring a mixture of invited reviews, and contributed talks and posters. As in previous years, we welcome scientific reports and attendance from the widest possible cross-section of the scientific community, including both those studying Titan directly, but also those whose research interests have intersections with Titan science in areas such as laboratory chemistry and spectroscopy; modeling of planetary atmospheres, surfaces and interiors; terrestrial analogs and comparative planetology; and the formation and evolution of the solar system.
8-11	4th International Workshop on on Lunar and Planetary Compact and Cryogenic Science and Technology Applications (LSA 4), Cocoa Beach, Florida  LSA 4 will be a crossroads for scientist, engineers, and entrepreneurs who are building and flying lunar missions now. After 30 years of neglect, the Moon is becoming a very active and crowded place. Russia, China, and the U.S. all plan to have active lander/rover missions on the lunar surface in 2017-2018. In addition, there will be many secondary payloads and LunarCube missions to the surface of the Moon and throughout Cislunar space with rides provided by smaller national and private programs such as the Google Lunar X Prize teams. In response, LSA 4 will bring together the best, the brightest and the most passionate to deliver progress updates, the latest discoveries and newest opportunities, technical presentations and discussions on lander rover technologies; ISRU, especially cryogenic volatiles deposits; and cryogenic planetary science and processes. The latest results from LRO, LCROSS, and LADEE will be presented, and Astrobotic, MoonExpress, Luna, and Resource Prospector will provide updates on the progress of their missions. LSA 4 is the anchor event for a week of activities in and around the Kennedy Space Center including the 43rd Space Congress sponsored by Canaveral Council of Technical Societies (CCTS), Yuri's Night and a banquet co-sponsored by the Missile, Space and Range Pioneers, a member of CCTS.
22-24	Humans to Mars Summit, Washington, DC
27-May 2	European Geosciences Union General Assembly, Vienna, Austria
28-29	Interplanetary Small Satellite Conference, Pasadena, California
28-May 1	45th Annual Meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division on Dynamical Astronomy (DDA 2014), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

26-31	Accretion and Early Differentiation of the Earth and Terrestrial Planets (ACCRETE), Nice, France  This will be a small workshop with up to 120 participants, including a significant number of students and young scientists. The topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to, chemistry of small bodies in the early solar system; planetary accretion; core-mantle differentiation; delivery of volatile elements, including water; nature and timing of the "late veneer"; consequences of giant impacts; etc. The workshop will be held at La Maison du Seminaire, which is located on the sea front in downtown Nice.
27-28	3rd Interplanetary CubeSat Workshop (iCubeSat 2014), Pasadena, California
28-30	Workshop on Planetary Volcanism — POSTPONED (#planetlava) *, Houston, Texas  Over the last few years we have had a revolution in our understanding of the surface of Mars, Mercury, and the Moon through a variety of robust orbital, landed in situ, and rover missions. Recent imagery has identified for perhaps the first time the existence of lavatubes, skylights, and pit craters on the surfaces of Mars, Mercury, and the Moon. Skylights, tubes, and pits are unique in that they are relevant to all aspects of the space initiative — exploration, potential habitability, resources, human ops, and habitation. Furthermore, the role of volatiles has been a major breakthrough in mare volcanism. The goal of this workshop is to summarize what we know as well as what we need to know about the origin, evolution, structure, and astrobiological significance of planetary volcanism — specifically as it relates to the newly discovered lavatubes, skylights, and pit craters. This is critical to understanding the role of mantle processes in shaping the planetary surface, as well as similarities and differences in evolutionary pathways that shaped the terrestrial planets. We hope to gain insights into future mission concepts and to stimulate cross-discipline interactions.
