The continued growth in attendance at AMOS reflects a growing interest in space sustainability and space commerce initiatives across all sectors—national governments, private sector companies, non-governmental entities, and universities. This growth is reflected on all fronts: attendance in-person from around the world, with 23 countries participating; partnerships with sponsors and exhibitors; and the technical contributions by authors and presenters.
The AMOS Conference program featured daily Keynote speakers, SSA/SDA policy forums, exhibits, short courses and networking receptions. Both in-person and livestream attendees had access to a virtual platform to facilitate networking and collaboration before, during and after the conference.
This year’s AMOS welcomed back in-person exhibits; and Maui County students returned for Student Space Exploration Day. Poster Session Pitches and Women & Allies in SDA reception were new features also added to this year’s program.
