Applied Space Environments Conference (ASEC) 2019; Los Angeles, California; May 13-17, 2019

该奖项为组织一次空间环境工程师和应用空间科学家会议提供支持，以讨论空间环境危害研究的最新进展，并查明实现未来空间探索目标所需的知识和技术方面的差距。空间环境危害是人类和机器人空间探索各个阶段的重要考虑因素。通过将科学家和工程师聚集在一起，会议将使科学家和工程师在与空间环境观测、建模和对航天器的影响有关的主题上进行富有成效的互动。会议还将为学生和早期职业科学家和工程师提供职业发展和网络机会。该奖项将支持将于2019年5月13日至17日在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶举行的2019年应用空间环境大会(ASEC)。这是该系列的第二次会议，它将促进介绍和讨论与卫星环境及其对月球、行星和日球层飞行任务的影响有关的专题的研究进展。会议目前计划为期五(5)天，有两(2)个晚间海报会议。通过将致力于人类和机器人空间探索的空间环境危害的科学家和工程师聚集在一起，会议将促进对这两个领域的创新见解，为科学家和工程师之间的互动提供新的机会，并提出建议，以减轻航天器上的空间环境危害。会议将包括一个专门的学生海报会议，突出当前和可能处于职业生涯早期的专业人士的研究和科学兴趣。ASEC会议还将为学生和早期职业科学家和工程师提供职业发展和网络机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides support for organizing a meeting of space environment engineers and applied space scientists to discuss recent advances in space environment hazard research and identify gaps in knowledge and technology needs to fulfill future space exploration goals. Space environment hazards are an important consideration for all phases of human and robotic space exploration. By bringing together scientists and engineers, the conference will enable fruitful interactions between scientists and engineer on topics related to space environment observations, modeling, and impacts on spacecrafts. The conference will also provide professional development and networking opportunities for students and early career scientists and engineers. This award will support the Applied Space Environments Conference (ASEC) 2019 to be held May 13-17, 2019 in Los Angeles, CA. This is the second conference of the series and it will facilitate presentations and discussions on research advances in topics related to the satellite environment and its impact on lunar, planetary, and heliospheric missions. The conference is currently planned for five (5) days with two (2) evening poster sessions. By bringing together scientists and engineers working on space environment hazards on human and robotic space exploration, the conference will facilitate innovative insights into both fields, provide new opportunities of interaction between scientists and engineer, and develop recommendations to mitigate space environment hazard on spacecrafts. The conference will include a dedicated student poster session highlighting research and scientific interests of current and possibly early career professionals. The ASEC conference will also provide professional development and networking opportunities for students and early career scientists and engineers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
