The 16th International Conference on Space Operations (SpaceOps 2020) which was initially scheduled for 18-22 May 2020, at the International Convention Centre in Cape Town, South Africa, will now hold in 2021 as a virtual conference. SpaceOps was postponed initially due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevented several other conferences from holding in 2020.
About
The International Committee on Technical Interchange for Space Mission Operations and Ground Data Systems (also referred to as the SpaceOps Organization) was formed in the realization that given the large number of people involved in space mission operations, an organized community or technical forum is needed. Since mission operations have become an increasingly large segment of space agency budgets, there is great interest in improving the capabilities and cost efficiencies of mission operations. It was in the spirit of providing the broadest possible managerial and technical interchange between space agencies, academia, and industry that SpaceOps was established.
