National Space Conference 2027 – South Africa

About National Space Conference

National Space Conference is a conference scheduled for 17–20 August 2027 at CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa. The 2027 National Space Conference in Pretoria brings space systems and missions, engineering and technology, science and applications and policy and commercial context together rather than treating them as separate subjects. The 2027 National Space Conference in Pretoria 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 2027 National Space Conference in Pretoria. For the 2027 National Space Conference in Pretoria, the connection between space systems and missions and engineering and technology is central: one establishes the primary subject, while the other shows how that work is developed, tested or applied. The 2027 National Space Conference in Pretoria also places science and applications beside policy and commercial context, making the interfaces between research, engineering, policy and delivery easier to follow.

Event history and organiser

The 2027 National Space Conference in Pretoria forms part of a continuing event series. For the 2027 National Space Conference in Pretoria, South African National Space Agency (SANSA) is the organiser and publishes the information used to plan attendance. Across this series, the stable thread for the 2027 National Space Conference in Pretoria is attention to space systems and missions, engineering and technology and science and applications; dates, venues and programme details are set for each individual meeting.
