ABSTRACT DEADLINE: January 15, 2012
The 1st Annual International Space Station (ISS) Research and Development and
Conference will be held June 26-28, 2012, at The Denver Marriott City Center.
The conference is organized by the American Astronautical Society (AAS) in
conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Space
Station Program Office and with the support of the Center for the Advancement
of Science in Space Inc. (CASIS). Manuscripts are solicited on topics related
to science and technology activities (past, present, planned and proposed) on
the International Space Station, including but not limited to topics on the
International Space Station’s website

Biology and Biotechnology: In microgravity, controls on the directionality and
geometry of cell and tissue growth can be dramatically different to those on
Earth. Various experiments have used the culture of cells, tissues and small
organisms on orbit as a tool to increase our understanding of biological
processes in microgravity.
Earth and Space Science: The presence of the space station in low-Earth orbit
provides a unique vantage point for collecting Earth and space science data.
From an average altitude of about 400 km, details in such features as glaciers,
agricultural fields, cities, and coral reefs taken from the ISS can be layered
with other sources of data, such as orbiting satellites, to compile the most
comprehensive information available.
Educational Activities: The space station provides a unique platform for
inspiring students to excel in mathematics and science. Station educational
activities have had a positive impact on thousands of students by involving
them in station research, and by using the station to teach them the science
and engineering that are behind space exploration.
Human Research: The space station is being used to study the risks to human
health that are inherent in space exploration. Focal research questions
address the mechanisms of the risks and develop test countermeasures to reduce
these risks. Research on space station addresses the major risks to human
health from residence in a long-duration microgravity environment. Results
from this research are key enablers for future long-duration missions beyond
low Earth orbit.
Physical Sciences: The space station provides the only place to study
long-term physical effects in the absence of gravity. This unique microgravity
environment allows different physical properties to dominate systems, and these
have been harnessed for a wide variety of physical sciences.
Technology and Exploration: Studies on the space station can test a variety of
technologies, systems, and materials that will be needed for future
long-duration exploration missions.
Presentations will be accepted based on the quality of the abstract, the
originality of the work and/or ideas, and the anticipated interest in the
proposed subject. Submissions that are based on experimental results or
current data, or report on ongoing missions, are especially encouraged.
The working language for the conference is English.
A special issue of The Journal of the Astronautical Sciences will be dedicated
to the conference, and presenters will be able to submit a full paper for peer
review and consideration for publication.
SPECIAL SESSIONS
Proposals are being considered for suitable special sessions, such as topical
panel discussions, invited sessions, workshops, mini-symposia, and technology
demonstrations. A proposal for a panel discussion should include the session
title, a brief description of the discussion topic(s), and a list of speakers
and their qualifications. For an invited session, workshop, mini-symposium, or
demonstration, a proposal should include the session title, a brief
description, and a list of proposed activities and/or invited speakers and
paper titles.
Prospective special session organizers should submit their proposals to the
Technical Chairs.

INFORMATION FOR PRESENTERS
Due to the large number of expected submissions we encourage presenters to
submit abstracts early; the deadline is January 15, 2012. Notification of
acceptance will be sent via email by March 15, 2012. Detailed presenter
instructions will be sent by email following acceptance.
Presenters may access the web-based abstract submittal system using the link
which will be available soon on the official website
http://www.astronautical.org<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=17588340&msgid=346419&act=R0KA&c=557342&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.astronautical.org>
During the online submission process, presenters are expected to provide:
1. a presentation title, as well as the name, affiliation, postal address,
telephone number, and email address of the corresponding presenter and each
contributor,
2. an extended abstract in the Portable Document File (PDF) format of at least
1000 words that includes the title and authors, and provides a clear and
concise statement of the problem to be addressed, the proposed method of
solution, the results expected or obtained, and an explanation of its
significance to space station utilization, with pertinent space station
references and supporting tables and figures as necessary. Presenters wanting
their presentation included in a conference CD should indicate that they agree
with publishing the presentations.
Technology Transfer Notice - Technology transfer guidelines substantially
extend the time required to review abstracts and manuscripts by private
enterprises and government agencies. To preclude late submissions and
withdrawals, it is the responsibility of the author(s) to determine the extent
of necessary approvals prior to submitting an abstract.
