Abstracts are now being accepted for the Poster Session.

You are invited to participate in the 2012 National Space & Missile Materials Symposium (NSMMS). The NSMMS brings together the Nation’s technology leaders to review the critical challenges of materials, processing, and manufacturing for space, missile, and hypersonic systems. Nearly 500 system engineers, designers, scientists, researchers, managers, and senior leaders attend from the joint services, NASA, DOE, academia, and industry. The Symposium has established a format that focuses on key materials and processing challenges associated with system and component needs on the critical path to enabling current and future capabilities. The NSMMS maintains this focus to directly convey to a diverse audience of researchers, planners, managers, and senior leadership the importance of supporting advanced materials technology development. Advanced materials are crucial to the improved performance and reliability of both commercial and defense systems. As a national materials community, it is important to establish and continue an exchange with our leaders emphasizing that advanced materials research must be a priority for the country. The 2012 Forum will have a senior level plenary session, a variety of technical sessions, tutorials, workshops, poster papers, a small business forum, a STEM program, and multiple networking events.
