Conference on spacecraft structures, Toulouse, France

The European Conference on Spacecraft Structures, Materials and Mechanical Testing (ECSSMMT) will be held in Toulouse, France, from 15 to 17 September.

The conference is intended for all members of relevant mechanical engineering disciplines and will be a chance to exchange experience and information, especially related to spacecraft vehicle development, materials applications and mechanical testing.

Major topics to be addressed during the event include:
- mechanical architecture, design and engineering;
- structural dynamics and microvibrations;
- mechanical testing;
- acoustics;
- structural materials applications;
- thermo-elastically stable structures;
- active structures;
- inflatable/deployable structures;
- stochastic analysis;
- shock;
- composite structures.

The event is organised by the French Space Agency (CNES) in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).For further information, please visit:
