The Aerospace Corporation will be participating at the 38th Annual Small Satellite Conference on August 3-8, 2024 in Logan, Utah. We look forward to engaging with the broader smallsat community to highlight the latest innovations, concepts and capabilities in the field. This year's event will explore how automation is being integrated into small satellite systems across the space, launch, ground, and user segments, making them smarter and more effective. 

Researchers at Aerospace pioneered some of the first small spacecraft in orbit and were integrally involved in developing and promoting the CubeSat standard. Today, we provide our world-class technical expertise in the field of smallsats to support our customers in mission success. 

Join us in the discussion on X with #AeroatSmallSat #SmallSat #conference2024.
