Welcome to
The NSMMS & CRASTE Joint Symposia
21 - 25 June, 2021
Virtual
NSMMS & CRASTE will now be held virtually on a WebEx FedRAMP platform which can accommodate live presentations as the CUI level. The event will be held over 5 shortened days: June 21st – 25th, 2021 and will run from approximately 11:00 am – 4:30 pm Eastern each day. There clearly are some perks to our new format including reduced registration fees, the ability to see more presentations than you would in person (we will have two tracks in parallel over 5 days, versus 3 tracks in parallel over 4 days), and less time away from the office.
If you made a hotel reservation at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, your reservation will be automatically cancelled. If you do not receive a cancellation notice from them within the next two weeks, please notify Amy Walker at awalker@blue52productions.com. If you have reserved a room at a different hotel, please note that you will have to call and cancel your reservation.
NSMMS & CRASTE play an important role in information exchange, education, and collaboration and we hope you will join us in keeping the dialog going.
NSMMS and CRASTE, two space focused conferences, will co-locate events for the 9th year (virtually). These co-located Symposia continue their outstanding legacy in bringing together technologists, users, and decision makers from across the nation. Key discussion involves key technology issues related to space, missile, hypersonic systems, and a variety of ground-breaking commercial space topics necessary for our Country's defense and research and development pursuits. What this means for you - you can attend two events with one trip, experience an expanded exhibit show and poster session, have more people to network and exchange ideas with, and have even more technical talks to participate in.
The 2021 forum will have a joint senior level Plenary Session, a variety of technical sessions covering ground-breaking research and technology, a student grant program which promotes college-level participation in science and technology and a work-share and job board program to promote workforce development.
NSMMS focuses on the material industry’s needs and most recent advances to enable new capabilities for challenges associated with new and future space and missile systems. A special focus is given to advanced materials technology development which is crucial to improve performance and reliability of both defense and commercial systems.
CRASTE brings system integrators and subsystem technology experts together to improve space access capabilities and responsiveness. Special focus is given to the integration of emerging technologies, including advanced concepts, with space-access architectures to create new markets and improve existing systems for government and commercial users.
