Due to the ongoing pandemic related global travel restrictions and to maximise the possibility of the community being able to meet face to face, iCubeSat 2020 will now become iCubeSat 2021 and be held on the 1st and 2nd June 2021. We hope that we will be able to hold the meeting in person, but in the event that travel is still difficult we will hold the meeting either as a hybrid or all online event. Registration is open and the abstract submission date is the normal 1st April. We very much look forward to welcoming you to the 9th Interplanetary CubeSat Workshop in Beijing and/or cyberspace – please do not hesitate to contact committee@iCubeSat.org if you have any questions.
