17th ECSSMET

European Conference on Spacecraft Structures Materials and Environmental Testing

Almost 250 submitted abstracts from more than 25 countries (Europe, America, Asia, Oceania)!

Welcome

The “European Conference on Spacecraft Structures, Materials and Environmental Testing” aims to promote and facilitate discussion and exchange of experience and information among members of the various mechanical engineering disciplines and environmental testing community concerned with spacecraft development, assembly, integration and verification.

The conference sessions will be devoted to:

  • Mechanical architecture, design and engineering
  • Innovative Structures (damping, deployable, stable, active)
  • Structural Materials
  • Structural dimensioning, including damage tolerance, fatigue …
  • Dynamics (vibroacoustic, random, shocks, microvibrations…)
  • Environmental testing and test prediction
  • Advanced manufacturing, including Additive Layer Manufacturing
  • In-flight experiments and flight data
  • Space Sustainability (debris, D4D, HVI…)
  • New Space (missions, methodologies…)

Organization

The Conference will include:

  • plenary and splinter sessions
  • poster sessions
  • a technical exhibition (hardware, software)

In addition, workshops will be arranged to facilitate an open discussion on selected topics, to be defined.

The working language will be English.
