59th International Astronautical Congress: Call for Abstracts

NASA announces its intent to participate in the 59th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) and requests that full-time graduate students attending U.S. universities respond to this "Call for Abstracts."

The IAC is organized by the International Astronautical Federation, or IAF, the International Academy of Astronautics, and the International Institute of Space Law. The IAC is the largest space-related conference in the world and selects an average of 1000 scientific papers every year. The upcoming IAC will be held September 29 – October 3, 2008, in Glasgow, Scotland. NASA's participation in this event is an on-going effort to continue to connect NASA with the international astronautical and space community.

This "Call for Abstracts" is a precursor to a final paper, which may be presented at the 59th IAC. Student authors are invited to submit an abstract regarding an original, unpublished paper that has not been submitted in any other forum. A NASA technical review panel will select abstracts to be considered by the IAF. This opportunity is for graduate students majoring in fields related to the IAF research topics. Students may submit technical (oral) presentations and/or posters. Students may submit abstracts that are co-authored with their Principal Investigators; however, the student must be the "lead author," and only the student will present at the IAC. Students must be available to travel to the conference to represent NASA and their universities. Students must be U.S. citizens, attending a U.S. university, who plan to enter a career in space science or aeronautics.

Many students and professors are currently involved in NASA related research that could be considered for this submission. Students submitting abstracts are strongly encouraged to seek advice from professors who are conducting NASA research and/or from NASA scientists and engineers. Abstracts must be related to the Vision for Space Exploration and fit into one of the following categories:

Category A: Science and Exploration -- Systems sustaining space missions, including life, microgravity, space exploration, space debris and Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI.

Category B: Applications and Operations -- On-going and future operational applications, including earth observation, communication, navigation, human space endeavours, and small satellites.

Category C: Technology -- Common technologies to space systems, including astrodynamics, structures, power and propulsion.

Category D: Infrastructure -- Systems sustaining space missions, including space system, transportation, future systems and safety.

Category E: Space and Safety -- Interaction of space with society, including education, policy and economics, history, and law.

To be considered for NASA sponsorship, the full text of the abstract in English must be submitted to NASA electronically in the format prescribed by the IAF as early as possible, but not later than 4 p.m. EST on Feb. 15, 2008. Applicants desiring NASA sponsorship must be sure to submit their abstracts to both the IAF and to NASA.

The following information must be included in the submission: paper title; name of contact author; name of co-author(s); organization(s); and full postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail of the author and co-author(s).

In accordance with the requirements of the IAF, the criteria for the selection will be defined according to the following specifications:

-- Abstracts should specify purpose, methodology, results and conclusions.

-- Abstracts should indicate that substantive technical and/or programmatic content is included.

-- Abstracts should clearly indicate that the material is new and original; they should explain why and how.

-- Prospective authors(s) should certify that the paper was not presented at a previous meeting.

NASA Submission Guidelines:

Submit an abstract (maximum 400 words in English) as early as possible, but not later than February 15, 2008, at 4 p.m. EST. All abstracts must be submitted electronically to the e-mail address provided. After successful submission, each applicant will receive an e-mail confirmation. Panels appointed by NASA will review abstracts. Notifications of acceptance for NASA sponsorship will be e-mailed to the primary author by March 31, 2008. For more information, e-mail Dr. Mabel J. Matthews at mabel.j.matthews@nasa.gov.

Speaker:

Event Details:

NASA announces its intent to participate in the 37th Scientific Assembly of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and requests that full-time undergraduate and graduate students attending U.S. universities respond to this "Call for Abstracts."

The International Space Education Board (ISEB), which was established by CSA, ESA, JAXA and NASA in October 2005 in order to: 1.) Increase science, technology, engineering and mathematics literacy achievement in connection with space; and 2.) Support the future workforce needs of space programs. The membership was expanded in 2006 to include CNES. CSA, in collaboration with the ISEB members organized a student program for the COSPAR.
For the first time in 2008, NASA will support student participation in the COSPAR Scientific Assembly. This Assembly is an excellent meeting point for all space science experts, providing students the opportunity to create many valuable contacts with professionals and like-minded students, both from the USA and the world. Throughout the Assembly, students will interact with science professionals, learn from their expertise and listen to their views on the future of space science. While a Student Program will be incorporated into the Assembly student participation is also integrated into the technical portion of the Assembly brining an appreciated element of youthful insight and energy into workshop and plenary sessions.

The upcoming Scientific Assembly of the COSPAR will be held July 13-20, 2008 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Reflecting NASA's commitment to encouraging the development of the next generation of space professional, undergraduate and graduate students are invited to submit an abstract simultaneously to NASA and to the Technical Committee of COSPAR. Panels appointed by NASA will review abstracts. Those receiving a passing score at NASA and are selected for oral or poster presentation by the COSPAR Technical Committee will be considerate for subsidy funding from NASA on a priority basis. Abstracts/applications submitted to NASA are due by February 1, 2008, even though the deadline for COSPAR submission is February 17, 2008. This is to provide time for the NASA panel selection.

If you have a keen interest in space, and would like to take part in this year’s Assembly, then now is the time to start preparing your application. Students must be available to travel to the conference to represent NASA and their universities. Students must be U.S. citizens, attending a U.S. university, who plan to enter a career in space science or aeronautics.

Many students and professors are currently involved in NASA related research that could be considered for this submission. Students submitting abstracts are strongly encouraged to seek advice from professors who are conducting NASA research and/or from NASA scientists and engineers. Abstracts must be related to the Vision for Space Exploration and tied to one of the following categories:

Category A: Science and Exploration -- Systems sustaining space missions, including life, microgravity, space exploration, space debris and Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI.
Category B: Applications and Operations -- On-going and future operational applications, including earth observation, communication, navigation, human space endeavors, and small satellites.
Category C: Technology -- Common technologies to space systems, including astrodynamics, structures, power and propulsion.
Category D: Infrastructure -- Systems sustaining space missions, including space system, transportation, future systems and safety.
Category E: Space and Safety -- Interaction of space with society, including education, policy and economics, history, and law.
