2022 Conference highlights
For the first time in its 23-year history the Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies (AMOS) Conference was sold-out in advance. The premier technical conference in the nation devoted to Space Situational/Domain Awareness (SSA/SDA) hosted 1212 in-person attendees at the Wailea Beach Resort. A further 259 joined virtually as the Conference provided a hybrid option for those unable to travel to Maui.
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.
