The 1st International Symposium on Small Launchers and Spaceports will draw together technically oriented participants from industry, government, academia, and researchers from around the globe. The conference agenda adopts a multifaceted approach which looks to solve key technical challenges in space through the active participation of international colleagues involved in the technical aspects of launch activity.
