The IAF General Assembly selected Paris, France as Host City for IAC 2021 on Friday 5 October. The Hosting Organization is the Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), a member of IAF since 1981. Paris hosted the first IAC ever in 1950, then in 1963 and lastly in 1982 and now will be holding the record of the city with most IACs hosted. Following the growing escalation of the Covid-19 outbreak around the world, the IAF has been forced to re-assess the overall schedule of IACs. On Wednesday 3 June 2020, an extraordinary session of the Bureau of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) was chaired by Pascale Ehrenfreund, IAF President. The Bureau reviewed the calendar of the forthcoming editions of the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in light of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown. Paris, France will now host the IAC on 18 – 22 September 2022.

Top scientific conference in the field of space situational awareness (SSA)/space domain awareness (SDA) The Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies (AMOS) Conference, September 27-30, 2022, is the premier technical conference in the nation devoted to space situational awareness/space domain awareness. The cross section of private sector, government, and academic participation helps foster important dialogue and international collaboration. The continued growth in attendance and participating countries at AMOS reflects a growing interest in space sustainability and space commerce initiatives as new actors—national governments, private sector companies, non-governmental entities, and universities—become involved in these activities.

The MilSat Symposium serves as a bridge between national space defense and industry. As low cost space technology proliferates worldwide, DoD has more choices in the rapid development and deployment of next-generation space defense technologies.  Space operations have a critical role in interconnecting the services and an increasing role in the defense of space assets.  The MilSat Symposium fosters discussion on these new and developing connections while addressing the technological, logistical and financial understandings needed to build next-generation space defense.
