11. Next ICATT edition
Where?

12. FAR conference in 2019: announcement
International Conference on Flight vehicles, Aerothermodynamics and Re- entry missions and engineering (FAR)
September 30th - October 3rd, 2019
Natural outcomes of the successful series of Symposia on Aerothermodynamics for Space Vehicles, the Workshops on Thermal Protection Systems and other international events organised by ESA in the last few years in the field of (Re)-entry and new Vehicles design and engineering
The conference will take place at the exclusive beach resort of Torre Cintola Natural Sea Emotions, located in the city of Capitolo di Monopoli at about 40 km south of the Italian city of Bari.

13. FAR SAVE THE DATE!
The conference will be organised along several technical streams, encompassing the whole spectrum of institutional and commercial applications for expendable and re-usable flight vehicles in Earth or planetary atmospheres and surroundings
The fields covered include, but are not limited to flight vehicles engineering, flight physics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics and the architecture design and analysis of current and future space transportation and exploration vehicles
The Call for Abstracts will be published in December 2018

14. September 30th - October 3rd, 2019

15. Thank you for your participation !

16. See you at the next ICATT
