Small Satellite Conference

All around the world, Logan is known as a hub for the space industry, particularly for small satellites. A major contributor to that industry, however, has outgrown the Cache Valley city.

Utah State University's annual Small Satellite Conference draws researchers from across the globe. We talked to three scientists about their projects.

USU’s annual Small Satellite Conference boasts thousands of attendees from around the world. A major driver of those innovations are the attending academic institutions.

The move was announced Monday after the event's chair noted that the conference has overgrown the infrastructure of Logan. This year alone, there are about 3,700-3,800 attendees all traveling from nearly 40 countries.

This year’s Small Satellite conference kicked off last weekend with talks held at USU's Logan campus. On Sunday, mission operator Michael Hauge gave an update on NASA's Lunar Flashlight mission.

Rapidly improving technology is making access to outer space cheaper and more accessible — even high school kids have satellites in space. But it's also increasing deeper space explorations to other planets.

Scientists, engineers, and other leaders in the field of space technology convene in Logan this week for the 36th Annual Small Satellite Conference.

STP-H6-SSIVP was attached to the International Space Station from 2019-2022 and was designed to test supercomputing in space. Evan Gretok says his work was to use artificial intelligence to train the satellite to autonomously identify and classify satellite imagery.

Out Of This World is the theme of this year’s Annual Small Satellite Conference in Logan at Utah State University. Small Sat attracts thousands of aerospace engineers and researchers from across the globe. This year’s keynote address was delivered by one of the industry’s top rocket scientists, Peter Beck.

Being able to launch a small satellite payload into space is one of the biggest obstacles for government, commercial and research institutions. Smallsat…
