Astronautical Congress
DEADLINE EXTENDED: Call for Abstracts: 66th International Astronautical Congress
Audience: Full-time Graduate Students
Submission Deadline: March 5, 2015
NASA announces its intent to participate in the 66th International
Astronautical Congress, or IAC, and requests that full-time U.S. graduate
students attending U.S. universities respond to this “Call for Abstracts.”
The IAC -- which is organized by the International Astronautical Federation, or
IAF; the International Academy of Astronautics, or IAA; and the International
Institute of Space Law, or IISL -- is the largest space-related conference
worldwide and selects an average of 1,000 scientific papers every year. The
upcoming IAC will be held Oct. 12-16, 2015, in Jerusalem, Israel. NASA’s
participation in this event is an ongoing effort to continue to bridge NASA
with the astronautical and space international community.
This “Call for Abstracts” is a precursor to a subsequent submission of a final
paper, which may be presented at the 66th IAC. Student authors are invited to
submit an abstract regarding an original, unpublished paper that has not been
submitted in any other forum. A NASA technical review panel will select
abstracts from those that have been accepted by the International Astronautical
Federation. This opportunity is for graduate students majoring in fields
related to the IAF research topics. Students may submit technical (oral)
presentations and/or posters. Students may submit abstracts that are
co-authored with their Principal Investigators. However, the student must be
the “lead author,” and only the student will present at the IAC. Students must
be available to travel to the conference to represent NASA and their
universities. Students must be U.S. citizens, attending a U.S. university, who
plan to enter a career in space science or aeronautics. Pending the
availability of funding, graduate students selected by NASA to participate in
the IAC will be considered for subsidy funding from NASA.
Many students and professors are currently involved in NASA-related research
that could be considered for this submission. Students submitting abstracts are
strongly encouraged to seek advice from professors who are conducting NASA
research and/or from NASA scientists and engineers. Abstracts must be related
to NASA’s ongoing vision for space exploration and fit into one of the
following IAC categories:
-- Science and Exploration -- Systems sustaining missions, including life,
microgravity, space exploration, space debris and Search for Extra-Terrestrial
Intelligence, or SETI
-- Applications and Operations -- Ongoing and future operational applications,
including earth observation, communication, navigation, human space endeavors
and small satellites
-- Technology -- Common technologies to space systems including astrodynamics,
structures, power and propulsion
-- Infrastructure -- Systems sustaining space missions including space system
transportation, future systems and safety
-- Space and Society -- Interaction of space with society including education,
policy and economics, history, and law
The criteria for the selection will be defined according to the following
specifications:
-- Abstracts should specify purpose, methodology, results, conclusions and
areas for discussion.
-- Abstracts should indicate that substantive technical and/or programmatic
content is included.
-- Abstracts should clearly indicate that the material is new and original;
they should explain why and how.
-- Prospective author(s) should certify that the paper was not presented at a
previous meeting.
Abstracts must be written in English, and the length should not exceed 400
words. Tables or drawings are not allowed in the abstract.
NOTE: If you plan to seek assistance from NASA, you must submit to the
International Astronautical Federation and to NASA.
New Deadline Dates:
-- Submit your abstract to the IAF at their website
www.iafastro.org<http://www.iafastro.org/> by Thursday, March 5, 2015 (23:59
Central European Time).
-- Submit your abstract to NASA at
http://iac.nasaprs.com<http://iac.nasaprs.com/> no later than 11:59 p.m. EST on
Thursday, March 5, 2015.
IAC Paper Selection
Submitted abstracts will be evaluated by the Session Chairs on the basis of
technical quality and relevance to the session topics. Selected abstracts may
be chosen for eventual oral or poster presentation. Any such choice is not an
indication of quality of the submitted abstract. Their evaluation will be
submitted to the Symposium Coordinators, who will make acceptance
recommendations to the International Programme Committee, which will make the
final decision. Please note that any relevance to the Congress main theme will
be considered as an advantage.
The following information must be included in the submission: paper title, name
of contact author, name of co-author(s), organization(s), full postal address,
phone, email of the author and co-author(s). Abstract should specify purpose,
methodology, results and conclusions and should indicate that substantive
technical and/or programmatic content, as well as clearly indicate that the
material is new and original and explain why and how.
Please check the IAF and the IAC websites
(www.iafastro.org<http://www.iafastro.org/> and
www.iac2015.org<http://www.iac2015.org/>) regularly to get the latest updates
on the Technical Programme.
