Join leaders in atmospheric science, commercial spaceflight, engineering, and education for a groundbreaking 1.5-day, NSF-sponsored workshop exploring new frontiers in upper atmosphere research. This conference brings together diverse perspectives to revolutionize how we study one of Earth's most mysterious regions - the Mesosphere Lower Thermosphere (MLT).

Why Attend?

The upper atmosphere, located below the Kármán line (100 kilometers), plays a crucial role in space weather, climate patterns, and atmospheric dynamics. Despite its importance, it remains one of the least understood parts of our planet. This region is too high for conventional aircraft and too low for satellites, posing significant challenges for traditional research methods. However, commercial reusable suborbital vehicles are now providing unprecedented opportunities for regular and affordable access to this critical area.
