Next Generation Suborbital Researchers Conference (NSRC-2016)

This year’s Next Generation Suborbital Researchers Conference (NSRC-2016) will be held at the Omni Interlocken Resort, in Broomfield Colorado, on June 2-4, 2016, with a welcome reception on June 1.

Key deadlines for meeting participation are rapidly approaching, these are:

• Poster Abstracts Submission: Deadline April 28th
• Early-Bird (Discounted) Meeting Registration: Deadline April 29th
• Hotel Room Reduced Rate Registration: Deadline May 1st

NSRC brings together researchers from academia, government and industry in the largest scientific forum of its kind, with the view to using commercial suborbital vehicles for fundamental research, TRL raising, and education purposes. Key meeting sponsors include World View, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and NASA.

Topics discussed at NSRC-2016 will include flight provider status, regulatory issues, NASA’s flight opportunities program, as well as applications including planetary science, astronomy and solar physics, atmospheric science, microgravity sciences, education, public outreach, life sciences, suborbital and commercial markets and policy, technology, and technology testing.

All contributed abstracts this year will be for posters to maximize the time needed to have practical provider and NASA/FAA discussions and networking, which will be focused on maturing payload ideas into actual suborbital flights. NSRC plans to accept ALL poster contributions that relate to next-gen suborbital research and education.
