The International Conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information
Technology (SMC-IT) and the Space Computing Conference (SCC) gather
system designers, engineers, computer architects, scientists,
practitioners, and space explorers with the objective of advancing
information technology, and the computational capability and reliability
of space missions. The forums will provide an excellent opportunity for
fostering technical interchange on all hardware and software aspects of
space missions. The joint conferences will focus on current systems
practice and challenges as well as emerging hardware and software
technologies with applicability for future space missions.
Systems in all aspects of the space mission will be explored, including
flight systems, ground systems, science and flight data processing,
engineering and development tools, operations, telecommunications,
high-performance space computing, radiation-tolerant computing devices,
reliable electronics, robotics, intelligent systems and machine
learning, distributed autonomy, networking and communications, and
space-qualifiable packaging technologies. The entire information systems
lifecycle of mission development will also be covered, such as
conceptual design, engineering tools development, integration and test,
operations, science analysis, and quality control.
Confirmed Keynote Speakers include:
- Eugene Tu (Center Director, NASA Ames Research Center)
- Jason Aspiotis (Director, In-Space Infrastructure and Logistics, Axiom
Space)
- Elizabeth Turtle (Planetary Scientist, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics
Laboratory)
- Jesse Mee (Senior Scientist for Radiation Hardening Technologies, Air
