ADDITIONAL UPCOMING HIGHLIGHTS

BANQUET DINNER:

Our conference dinner will be held at the Ameswell Hotel with featured
guest speaker Dr. Stephen K. Robinson. Before joining the faculty at the
University of California, Davis in 2012, Dr. Stephen Robinson spent 37
years at NASA, where he worked as a technician, engineer, research
scientist, pilot, and astronaut. Limited spaces are available.

FLIGHT SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK F PRIME TUTORIAL (by Jet Propulsion Laboratory):

F Prime is an open-source, flight-proven flight software development
ecosystem created by NASA JPL, tailored for small-scale systems such as
CubeSats, SmallSats, and instruments. F' was used in the Ingenuity
Helicopter. See the Open Source for Space Workshop's page on our website
for details.

INTRODUCTION TO OMNIVERSE AND ROBOTICS SIMULATION IN ISAAC SIM (by NVIDIA):

This workshop will introduce the Omniverse and Isaac SIM platforms,
cutting-edge solutions for robotics and simulations. It'll feature a
hands-on lab where you'll dive into the simulation loop of a 3D engine,
learning to initialize experiments with objects, robots, and physics
logic, and build some small robotics control tasks and applications
within the simulation environment. See the Space Robotics Workshop's
page on our website for details.

PANEL: TECHNOLOGY FOR ACCESSIBILITY IN SPACE:

In 2021, the European Space Agency launched the "Parastronaut – Fly!
Feasibility Study" to determine ways that astronauts with disabilities
would be able to work in space, and hired the world's first
para-astronaut. This panel will discuss how technology can enable people
with disabilities and different abilities to participate in space
exploration.
