ICSSC 2013 and future
• 2013: joint conference with Ka and Broadband Communications
Conference in Italy – no firm commitment at this point in time but
no indication otherwise (ICSSC 2012 outcome will determine –
but it looks good to date)
• 2014: co-located with Space 2014 – current plan
 Plan being questioned/reviewed: co-location with Infotech or DASC
(Digital Avionics) or Telemetry Conference
• 2015: in Asia but no definite plan right now. Need to work on this.
