SAASST Participates in the 73rd IAC Paris Meeting with 16 Papers

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology (SAASST) is participating in the 73rd International Astronautical Congress in Paris for the period of Sep. 18-22, 2022, with an exceptional number of 16 papers.

With the theme Space for @ll, the IAC is bringing together all space communities, alongside the burgeoning global ecosystem and start-ups, entrepreneurs, laboratories, research scientists and manufacturers that could get involved in space activities or benefit from them. Special attention will be paid to students and young professionals, who will be closely associated through dedicated events.

Several SAASST research assistants from the different research laboratories will be presenting the research being done at the academy. SAASST participation highlights the level of the high competitiveness of the academy at the international level with all of its research laboratories from the CubeSat Lab, Space Weather and Ionospheric Lab, the Meteorite Center, the Radio Astronomy Lab, the Space Artificial Intelligence Lab, and the High Energy Astrophysics Lab.
