“Inspiring the Future Generation”

October 26-27, 2024 

​

In this year’s 3rd Annual Small Satellite Education Conference, we embark on a journey to inspire the future generation of students in the dynamic realm of space technology and small satellites. Together, let us explore the boundless opportunities and innovations that await, as we ignite the passion for exploration and discovery among the bright minds who will shape the future of space exploration.

​

The 2024 SmallSat Education Conference will have the following four tracks. Some sub-topics are listed below as suggestions only and not inclusive descriptors. If you have a story to share, we’d love to hear from you!
