SpaceAM 2022
Advanced Materials & Technology for the Space Sector
12 – 13 July 2022
Harwell Campus, UK
SpaceAM, the premier conference and exhibition highlighting the use of advanced materials in space technology, will take place on 12-13 July 2022 at it’s new home at the Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire.
We are living in a world that is critically dependent on space technology and with that comes the need for advanced materials to deliver the best possible opportunities and outcomes for the space industry.
SpaceAM will give you the chance to discover and join the growing global community that is working together to develop and launch innovation in orbit and beyond.
