2022 ATS Session Abstract Topics
​
The Annual Technical Symposium is intended as a mult-disciplinary Aerospace Conference for the Rocky Mountain Region. The intent of the conference is to further the science of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering to meet the needs of industry, academia and the military. Please consider the following topics for the 2022 ATS program and select the topic that most closely aligns with your research area. Presentations are formatted for 15 minutes each (power-point slide deck) with additional time allotted for audience questions. An abstract of up to 400 words is required at the time of submission. Submit your abstract by completing the form below.
​
The deadline for abstract submissions is Wednesday September 1st 2022.
