Conference
The core of the five-day IAC event is its conference.

Telespazio VEGA Deutschland and Telespazio SpA have contributed to the programme, each being members of the IAF committee, and will give presentations on topics like Mission Operations – and concepts -, Simulation and Training.
Within the new format of the Special Sessions, Telespazio VEGA Deutschland will be hosting and moderating an exciting Panel Discussion on “Commercial Suborbital: Opening the Aperture for Space Utilization”, with VIP guests from Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, PLD Space and World View Enterprises.
