Welcome to
The NSMMS & CRASTE Joint Symposia
26 - 29 June 2023
Tucson, AZ
NSMMS and CRASTE, two space focused conferences, will co-locate events for the 11th year. These co-located Symposia continue their outstanding legacy in bringing together technologists, users, and decision makers from across the nation. Discussions involve 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 registration fee, 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 2023 forum will have a joint senior level Plenary Session, a variety of technical sessions covering ground-breaking research and technology, an exhibit show, 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.
