The Small Satellite Conference is an annual gathering that provides a forum for the best minds in the small satellite community to review recent successes, explore new directions, and introduce emerging technologies in small spacecraft development. It is internationally recognized as the premier conference on small satellites. The 37th Annual Small Satellite Conference will take place from August 5-10, 2023 at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. It will explore future missions and delve into key technological drivers, operational constructs, and activities that inform and secure the success of small satellite missions at scale.

Ball Aerospace will be attending the 2023 Small Satellite Conference. Learn about our programs and capabilities below.
