 The 7th Australian Space Science Conference (ASSC), is to be held at the SMC in Sydney, Australia. This will be the first ASSC jointly sponsored and organised by the National Committee for Space Science (NCSS) and the National Space Society of Australia (NSSA). The ASSC is intended to be the primary annual meeting for Australian research relating to space science. It welcomes space scientists, engineers, educators, industry and government. The focus this year will be on attracting and bringing together the professional Australian space community, so as to make ASSC the annual conference for Australian space science, while retaining the strengths of earlier meetings. This year’s ASSC will run in conjunction with the NCSS’s first workshop on implementing Australia’s first Decadal Plan for Space Science, currently being developed. This two-day workshop will discuss the Plan and Government's responses, better link the scientific community and associated stakeholders in Government and industry, and start implementing the Plan's recommendations. The scope of the conference covers fundamental and applied research that applies to space technologies, and includes the following:
