technology (IT) has progressively grown in importance to space exploration efforts and today it often dominates the costs and schedules of space mission projects. The International Conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information Technology (SMC-IT)
is the first forum to gather system and software engineers, scientists, and other practitioners with the objective of advancing information technology for space missions. The forum provides an excellent opportunity for technical interchange for all aspects
of IT used for space missions.</span></span></font></div>
