New for 2026: Tech Seminars

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be adding an option for speakers who wish to participate in our brand-new Tech Seminar program (or new in-depth technical program featuring 25-minute presentations on satellite engineering challenges and breakthroughs). Potential speakers who would like to give shorter presentations can now apply to give “Poster Presentations” during one of two allotted poster presentation sessions on Monday and Tuesday of SATELLITE week.

During Poster Presentations, speakers lead discussions with smaller groups of attendees and refer to information and data on a poster. Poster authors should use the following guidelines:

The poster must cover the content as proposed in the submission abstract
Authors are responsible for printing, displaying, and taking down the poster.
Authors are to remain with their poster during the entire session to present it and answer questions to interested attendees.
The poster’s dimensions shall not exceed 3’ x 5’ or 5’ x 3’
Posters must provide legible figures/text to be read at a distance of six feet.
Posters should use a serif type font (e.g., Times) for reading the main text, and a non-serif font (e.g., Arial or Helvetica) for headers and figure labels.
Paragraph and figure captions should be a minimum of 24-point font (0.9 cm height) and headers at least a 36-point font (1.2 cm height).
The title should be placed prominently at the top of the poster board
Posters should include a background section, methods, results, and conclusions.
Posters should display the authors’ names and contact information, allowing viewers to request more information if needed.
