INPE at the SpaceOps 2012

Tuesday, July 03, 2012

Known as "SpaceOps", the International Committee on Technical Interchange for Space Mission Operations and Ground Data Systems is a forum on space systems and operations that every two years promotes an international conference to present news and developments in this sector.

SpaceOps Committee member, the Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais - INPE) has had an outstanding performance in the event this year – June 11 to 15 in Stockholm, Sweden.  SpaceOps has gathered representatives from more than 30 countries.

Besides participating in the technical committee of the event, Brazil, by INPE, was one of the countries that has submitted papers in the SpaceOps 2012. Proportionally, the 13 papers shown by INPE exceed the number of presentations of many agencies and entities in countries with more advanced and established aerospace activities.

The 12th International Conference on Space Operations had poster and plenary sessions, also an exhibition with booths of aerospace agencies and companies, with emphasis in "space operations", such as mission controlling, ground and vehicle systems, among others.

Coordinated by NASA and JPL/Caltech, the next SpaceOps, in 2014, will take place in Pasadena, California, USA.
