Re: [Orekit Developers] 6th International Conference on Astrodynamics Tools and Techniques (ICATT)

The fact they have a track for open source tools is really cool.  What
other open source tools are going to be represented?

We will know when the papers will be selected, in December.

I hope there will be several papers on Orekit. Everyone in the community
can do that. To anyone who use Orekit, please show your appreciation by
proposing Orekit papers at ICATT!

I also guess there will be many papers on GMAT. There will also be a tutorial
on GMAT by Steven Hugues, from NASA/GSFC. He is GMAT project manager and is
also member of the organising committee.

Let's hope we will avoid false open-source tools (for example closed-source
tools based on open-source, there are other tracks for this).

best regards,
Luc

Hi all,

The 6th International Conference on Astrodynamics Tools and Techniques
(ICATT)
has just been announced a few days ago. The conference web site is:

  https://indico.esa.int/indico/event/111/

This conference will be held at ESOC in Darmstadt (Germany) from March
14th 2016
to March 17th 2016. It is a great conference for tools that can interest a
lot
of Orekit (and Rugged) users and developers. There is in particular a
dedicated
track for open-source tools, which also include tools running on
smartphones and
tablets.

The call for abstract is already open and will be closed on December 1st,
with
papers acceptance notified two weeks after. It would be nice to have a few
papers
based on Orekit presented at the conference.

I am very happy to have been nominated in the organising committee and I
will for
sure be there. I am sure this will be a very interesting conference and
would be
really happy to meet some of our users and developers face to face there.

best regards,
Luc Maisonobe
