Internationally recognized as the premier conference on small satellites, the Small Satellite Conference (also known as SmallSat) is held each August on the campus of Utah State University (USU) in Logan, Utah, USA.
In addition to creating an excellent environment for networking and speaking with experts in military, science, and academic fields, the Conference offers a program of international relevance, focusing on the key challenges and opportunities facing the small satellite community today.
In the beginning, small satellites were not widely accepted but have since become a vital part of the space industry.
[1] Named after Frank J. Redd, PhD, the founder of the Small Satellite Conference, the Student Competition provides undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree in an engineering or scientific discipline with the opportunity to share their work on small satellite concepts and missions.
Each year, college students from across the globe compete for awards made possible through generous donations from organizations and individuals within the small satellite community.
