What to Expect at Space Tech Expo 2019
This year’s Space Tech Expo will cover such topics as cryogenics, laser systems, nanotechnology, imaging, environmental testing, magnetics, capacitors, engineering, precision machining, 3D printing, mission management, reconnaissance satellites, and much more. The Expo connects specialists across the supply chain with interactive product demonstrations. The Free Technical Sessions at the Free Technical Sessions Theater (next to our booth!) feature industry experts in developing technologies, who will address the four focus areas of the show: Aerospace Testing; Industry 4.0; Components, Parts and Assemblies; and Space Systems development.
The amazing lineup of presenters on Day One includes Lockheed Martin Thermal Engineer Leah Raffaeli, PhD speaking about MDAO (Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization) to achieve cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Honeywell Staff Systems Engineer Jon Shick will discuss RHBD (Radiation-Hardened by Design) components, and NASA JPL Senior Antenna/Microwave Engineer Nacer Chahat, PhD, will relate a technology infusion story featuring the RainCube mission from a rough concept in an R&D proposal to a fully flight-qualified design – which was demonstrated in space in July 2018 – in a timeframe of just four years. Day Two will feature several more informative presentations from experts in technologies across the supply chain, about essential topics including forming mutually beneficial and long-term supplier relationships, taking advantage of additive manufacturing today to speed development and production of space applications, plus more of the latest technology for space.
The 2019 Space Tech Expo Conference Big Ideas
This year’s Conference also covers the four main focus areas: Industry 4.0; Space Systems; Components, Parts and Assemblies; and Testing. The Expo features C-level decision-makers, senior engineering professionals, and supply chain managers and business development professionals. Speakers and presenters come from US Department of Defense organizations, space agencies, Tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers, and startups.
