IEPC2013 - Abstract Submission Now Open
Abstract submission is now open for the 33rd International Electric Propulsion Conference (IEPC) which will be held in at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. from the 6th to the 10th of October 2013. IEPC is a bi-annual international conference with topics encompassing all aspects of electric propulsion. The conference is the premier world-wide venue for researchers in the field of electric propulsion to meet and present the latest research findings.Conference Venue
The 2013 IEPC will take place at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., United States. The George Washington University is an ideal conference venue, with easy airline access, and only a short walk from the White House, the United States Capitol, and the National Mall, which is home to many museums, including the world-famous Air and Space Museum. The George Washington University is also the home of the Micropropulsion and Nanotechnology Lab, specializing in development of plasma thrusters for microsatellites. In addition, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, home to many of NASA’s scientific satellite programs, is located a short car drive away from the campus.
Conference Topics
The conference will consist of multiple parallel sessions on the following topics:
- Hall Thrusters
- Ion Thrusters
- Field Emission and Colloid Thrusters
- MPD Thrusters
- Pulsed Plasma Thrusters
- Resistojets/Arcjets
