From lab to launch
The road to becoming space qualified
Together, our speakers will provide perspectives on the full road
to space qualification, from engineering, testing and verification
to the expertise, infrastructure and collaboration needed to
prepare technologies for launch and operation in space.
Join us on 8 September to hear first-hand what it takes to move
from the lab to launch, and ultimately become space qualified.
