Space Hardware Design: From the Idea to a Successful Demonstration in Space
Download the Workshop Summary
This half-day workshop presents practical guidelines and experiences on hardware and system
design for space applications. A specific focus is made on the (reliable) usage of commercial of
the shelf (COTS) components which are essential for low to mid budget space missions and which
currently drives the NewSpace era. We will address the general environmental conditions and
constraints for space missions, incl. radiation effects and what system designers and test
engineers needs to consider for a reliable and affordable operation in harsh environment.
Furthermore, we will explore existing system-level qualification standards and how to tailor these
for a cost-efficient verification process. The shown approaches will be presented based on the
development of a software-defined radio (SDR) that uses latest COTS technologies and enables
new opportunities for radio-based space applications.

Download the Workshop Summary
This workshop offers a forum for researchers, developers, and policy-makers to discuss SSP technologies, to advance the state of the art, to discuss supporting and related technical issues, and to take necessary actions. Accepted papers will be published at IEEExplore and presented at the workshop. The workshop accepts abstracts+talks and papers+talks. Papers should be submitted online and follow WiSEE 2024 format and submission approach.
The IEEE WiSEE 2024 Workshop on SSP accepts several submission types:
- Abstracts, Tutorials, and Demos: lightly-reviewed summaries of proposed oral presentations. Submit abstracts via e-mail to Prof. Gregory D. Durgin (durgin@gatech.edu) by 1 September 2024.
- Full Papers: peer-reviewed manuscripts intended for publication on IEEExplore. Manuscripts should be submitted according to the format and deadlines described on the IEEE WiSEE 2024 website.

Passive Wireless Sensor Technology Workshop (PWST)
Download the Workshop Summary
The workshop aims to bring Passive Wireless Sensor (PWS) technology developers, manufacturers, and potential industry end-users together to understand the larger market drivers that will drive costs down and applications up. We will concentrate on Aerospace applications at this workshop, so capability that helps the aerospace manufacturing, mission, and maintenance will be a priority.
Format:
- Selected speakers will present for 25 min followed by 5 min for questions and answers.
- Presenters are required to register for the WiSEE conference and attend in person.
- Presenters are encouraged, but not required, to submit technical papers to the WiSEE general technical tracks.

Additive Manufacturing of Passive RF-Components for Space Applications (AM4Space)
Additive manufacturing technology not only brings great geometric freedom, which leads to compact and therefore lighter components, but also to a greater variety of materials, which also helps to save weight while being equipped for harsh operating conditions. This workshop brings together scientists, developers and potential industrial users in the specialized field of additive manufactured high-frequency components to share experiences and knowledge about the current state of research and to discuss the potential for future applications in space. The focus is on highly integrated, printed front ends, such as feeding networks and array antennas.
This will be a half-day Workshop consisting of Technical Presentations and Discussions.
