Preseminar Tutorials March 28, 2011

Sheraton Gateway Hotel, Los Angeles

The Aerospace Testing Seminar (ATS) provides a forum to communicate and exchange knowledge about the improvement and implementation of aerospace testing technology that will benefit current and future space programs.

As aerospace professionals, we are continually challenged to deliver the best system possible within tight cost and schedule constraints of today's programs. Whatever your mission entails, be it developing an effective test program, weighing the best environmental test strategy, trying the newest approaches to modeling or innovative testing of a ground system, delivering a successful mission within program constraints is essential. You are invited to meet with leaders in aerospace testing at the 26th Aerospace Testing Seminar to share ideas and learn how, in this tough economic environment, to provide the most effective testing to make your mission a success.

Session topics include:

• Integrated Development and Operational Test and Evaluation
• Testing Challenges for Human-Rated Space Systems
• Test and People Management
• Test Effectiveness and Standards
• Ground Segment Test
• Strategies and Methodologies
• Innovations in Test Facilities and Equipment
• Instrumentation, Data Acquisition and Evaluation
• Modeling, Analysis and Simulation
• Flight Software System Integration and Test

The ATS preseminar tutorial program will feature classroom-style presentations of interest to professionals at all levels of experience.
