ISTS 2015 - International Symposium on Space Technology and Science

The 30th International Symposium on Space Technology and Science (ISTS) will be held at Kobe Convention Center from July 4 (Sat) to 10 (Fri), 2015. The ISTS Organizing Committee and the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences (JSASS) would like to invite individuals of all nations interested in space-related activities to participate in this event.
The memorial 30th ISTS will be held under the main theme of “Space Voyage ? Frontier for Better Life on Earth.” Space is of course “a frontier,” and exploring such frontier (space voyage) is itself an important objective. But in addition, such space activities should and surely will also contribute to the better life on Earth. Coincidentally, year of 2015 will be the 20th anniversary of the Hanshin-Awaji Big Earthquake in Kobe area. How about making the most of this opportunity to re-consider and discuss the possibilities of space activities in much wider areas, of course including disaster mitigations ?
We will wait for you with variety of programs, including plenary lectures, panel discussions, Control System Design Contest, Student Sessions, Exhibitions as well as social programs to help you feel and enjoy Kobe. We are also very glad to hold together the 34th IEPC (International Electric Propulsion Conference) and 6th Nano-satellite Symposium jointly with ISTS, which is expected to generate additional synergy effects.
Please join us at this 30th memorial ISTS, 34th IEPC and 6th NSAT in the beautiful port city of Kobe !!
