A few quick reminders and bits of information: the deadline for submitting abstracts is just two weeks away, so please submit in good time to have the best chance of presenting as a deadline extension is unlikely given the numbers. People traveling from overseas who need a visa might find this page helpful. If you need a letter of invitation please email committee@iCubeSat.org. Registration is now $50 for students, $200 for full attendees – register before 15th April to avoid a 50% increase on that date. Finally, if you’re an exhibitor, it looks as if we’re about to sell out the exhibition area, so we’d strongly recommend registering today to avoid disappointment.

February 29, 2012We’ve been amazed by the interest in this workshop and are gratified that we already have dozens of attendees registered from universities, organisations such as JPL and NASA, and companies large and small from around the world. We have space for a total of 106 attendees which seemed like a lot back in December, but we are running out of places, so if you intend coming please register today to guarantee your place and avoid disappointment and a 25% registration fee increase on March 15th if we still have any places left!
