The NSMMS & CRASTE Joint Symposia
24 - 27 June 2024
Madison, WI
NSMMS and CRASTE, two space focused conferences, will co-locate events for the 12th year. These co-located Symposia continue their outstanding legacy in bringing together technologists, users, and decision makers from across the nation. Discussions 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 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 2024 forum will have a joint senior level Plenary Session, a variety of technical sessions covering ground-breaking research and technology, an exhibit show and technical poster session, a student grant program which promotes college-level participation in science and technology, a small business forum designed to forge connections between primes & SBIR agencies with small business, a work-share and job board program to promote workforce development, and multiple networking events.
NSMMS focuses on aerospace industry 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, manufacturing and producibility, structural applications, concepts and prototype system 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 lowering cost, and increasing 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.
