INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
The papers for the conference program will be selected basing on the quality of extended abstracts. The full paper has to be submitted before the conference, by March 12, 2012. The conference proceedings will be published by Univelt, Inc. in its series “Advances in the Astronautical Sciences”, indexed in ISI Web of Science and Scopus. Due to the large number of expected submissions we encourage authors to submit abstracts early. Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by December 19, 2011. Detailed author instructions will be sent by email following acceptance. By submitting an abstract, the author affirms that the manuscript’s majority content has not been previously presented or published elsewhere.
The contributors requiring an official letter of acceptance should contact the Technical Chairmen by email at their earliest opportunity. Technology Transfer Notice - Technology transfer guidelines substantially extend the time required to review abstracts and manuscripts by private enterprises and government agencies.
To preclude late submissions and withdrawals, it is the responsibility of the author(s) to determine the extent of necessary approvals prior to submitting an abstract. No-Paper/No-Podium Policy – A complete manuscript must be electronically uploaded to the web site prior to the conference in PDF format, be no more than twenty pages in length, and conform to the AAS manuscript format. If a complete manuscript is not received on time, then its presentation at the conference shall be forfeited; and if a presentation is not made by an author at the conference, then the manuscript shall be omitted from published proceedings.
