2026 Cislunar Security Conference

About Cislunar Security Conference

Cislunar Security Conference is a conference scheduled for 1–3 December 2026 at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, United States. The 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel brings astronomy and planetary science, observations and scientific data, research methods and modelling and instrumentation and missions together rather than treating them as separate subjects. The 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel uses a programme-led format built around specialist presentations, discussion and direct exchange between the communities represented. This format gives researchers and engineers a practical way to compare technical priorities, current applications and the organisations active at the 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel. For the 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel, the connection between astronomy and planetary science and observations and scientific data is central: one establishes the primary subject, while the other shows how that work is developed, tested or applied. The 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel also places research methods and modelling beside instrumentation and missions, making the interfaces between research, engineering, policy and delivery easier to follow.

Event history and organiser

The 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel forms part of a continuing event series. For the 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU APL) is the organiser and publishes the information used to plan attendance. Across this series, the stable thread for the 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel is attention to astronomy and planetary science, observations and scientific data and research methods and modelling; dates, venues and programme details are set for each individual meeting. Continuity for the 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel comes from its specialist community and subject focus, not from repeating an identical agenda from one meeting to the next. The 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel meeting at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, United States gives the series a specific host-city and venue context while retaining its established professional purpose.

Topics and themes

The Laurel conference connects its core subjects through the conference format, showing how specialist work moves between research, engineering, policy and practical use.

• Astronomy and planetary science: At the Laurel conference, this theme establishes the main technical context and links it with observations and scientific data in current projects and professional practice.
• Observations and scientific data: Laurel conference sessions help participants understand how observations and scientific data depends on research methods and modelling, shared methods and informed technical decisions.
• Research methods and modelling: The Laurel conference uses this subject to connect specialist evidence with instrumentation and missions and the organisations responsible for delivery.
• Instrumentation and missions: Work at the Laurel conference focuses on the constraints, methods and applications that shape instrumentation and missions, including its relationship with international research collaboration.

Who should attend?

The principal audience for the 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel is researchers and engineers, university and laboratory teams and doctoral and early-career researchers. In Laurel, these groups can use the conference to place astronomy and planetary science beside observations and scientific data and identify the programme areas closest to their responsibilities. Technical programme specialists bring a complementary perspective where their work intersects with the professional community at the 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel. Relevant agency and industry teams may also find a strong fit in Laurel sessions addressing research methods and modelling. The 2026 Cislunar Security Conference in Laurel is less suited to people seeking unrelated general-interest content because its value comes from a defined focus on astronomy and planetary science.
