Agenda
After the successful inaugural all-virtual AMOS Conference in 2020, we are looking forward to welcoming conference attendees back to the island of Maui as we present a hybrid 2021 Conference with in-person and virtual attendance options.
The AMOS Conference kicks off with a number of In-person and Virtual Technical Short Courses in various SSA-related disciplines, preceding three days of plenary programming. Each day of the plenary program opens with a livestreamed Keynote Address and SSA Policy Forum discussion followed by Technical Presentations covering 9 broad topical areas, including Astrodynamics, Atmospherics/Space Weather, Cislunar SSA, Conjunction/RPO, Dynamic Tasking, Machine Learning for SSA Applications, Non-Resolved Object Characterization, Optical Systems & Instrumentation, and Space Situational/Domain Awareness. A majority of the Technical Presentations are live and on-stage, with on-demand viewing of pre-recorded presentations available for virtual attendees upon in-person session completion. All posters are digital format this year and are accompanied by on-demand presentation videos that are available throughout the conference week. Invited Talks and Featured Presentations are incorporated throughout the multi-day program.
