What's Happening?
NASA and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) will jointly host the Spacecraft Anomalies and Failures (SCAF) Workshop from March 24-26, 2026. The workshop aims to bring together experts from government,
industry, academia, and international partners to discuss analysis, trends, and lessons learned from spacecraft anomalies and failures. The event will take place at two locations with multiple classification levels, requiring registration and visit requests by March 10, 2026.
Why It's Important?
The SCAF Workshop is crucial for advancing the understanding and prevention of spacecraft anomalies and failures. By bringing together a diverse group of experts, the workshop facilitates the exchange of knowledge and best practices, which can enhance the design, operation, and protection of space systems. This collaboration is vital for ensuring the reliability and safety of space missions, which are increasingly important for national security, scientific research, and commercial activities.
