The International Astronautical Congress is a global event for a space and science professionals, bringing together more than 4000 visitors from around the world. This year, it will be hosted in Bremen, Germany from the 1st-5th of October 2018. The 2018 conference and exhibition will reflect the current changes of the diversifying space sector. A new format of “Special Sessions” will give a platform to new speakers, following the 2018 motto “IAC 2018 – involving everyone”.

Conference

The core of the five-day IAC event is its conference. With more than 180 sessions, ranging from inspiring key note speeches, panel discussion, scientific sessions up to the new format of Special Sessions with presentations from a new generation of space experts, IAC offers a broad range of topics for everyone. 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. Follow the Special Sessions on social media via #sps2018.

This year’s IAC will host also a Public Day, taking place on 3 October, Germany’s Unity Day. A dedicated programme has been created, with a live call to the International Space Station and the opportunity to meet astronauts.
