2024 CALL FOR PAPERS

Submit your abstract for consideration as we celebrate 25 years of AMOS. The more than 150 technical papers offered as oral presentations or poster presentations are the core of the annual AMOS Conference, scheduled to take place September 17-20, 2024.

SUBMISSIONS CLOSED – DEADLINE MARCH 1

The Program Committee has scheduled both oral and poster sessions, and abstracts of all papers are published in the same manner in the conference materials. Submitted abstracts must report new information and not previously published or presented at a national or international scientific meeting, unless there is a substantial update of data. If it is a requirement in your organization, the abstract should be cleared for public release prior to submission.  Primary authors may submit up to two abstracts. Abstracts that appear to be marketing in scope will be rejected.

We encourage submissions from international, undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree in a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) at an accredited college or university. International and student participants will receive a reduced conference fee.

Proposals for special sessions, such as panels and invited oral presentations are also welcome. Please indicate your request in the comments field of the abstract form.

The 2024 AMOS Conference is being planned as an in-person event with virtual attendance options. All presenters must present in-person, except for select poster presenters invited for pre-recorded virtual-only presentation in order to accommodate a greater technical body of work for the SSA/SDA community.

 

CONFERENCE AWARDS

In collaboration with the Space Surveillance Committee of the American Astronautical Society (AAS), the AMOS Conference recognizes outstanding efforts in the field of Space Situational Awareness by presenting a series of awards at the close of the annual conference. Learn more about the Best Paper Award and Student Award.

 

JOURNAL PUBLICATION

The AMOS Conference, in conjunction with the American Astronautical Society, is delighted to provide participating authors the opportunity to be published in a special AMOS Conference issue of the Journal of Astronautical Sciences. Invitations to be peer-reviewed and considered for publication will be extended upon conclusion of the Conference. Learn more about this opportunity.
