<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The first Applied Space Environments Conference (ASEC), co-sponsored by Universities Space Research Association (USRA) and NASA, will be held in Huntsville, Alabama on May 15-19, 2017.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The Applied Space Environments Conference is a forum for the space environment engineering and applied space science community to discuss the discipline’s ability to support current space programs and to identify
gaps in knowledge and technology needs required for future exploration goals. Space environment hazards need to be considered during all phases of human and robotic space exploration, from the initial design of a space system architecture, through testing
and construction of space systems hardware, and finally during mission operations in order to assure safe and reliable operations to meet program goals. Applicable environments will include those that impact human health, spacecraft design, and mission operations
in low Earth orbit, through the Earth’s magnetosphere, and into interplanetary space as well as environments of other planets, moons, and asteroids.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Abstract submission, registration, and venue information will be posted in the next announcement. Please refer to the meeting website for a full description of the conference and a general list of topics to be addressed.
