http://www.ists.or.jp/2015/call-for-papers/iepc-call-for-papers/ IEPC (International Electric Propulsion Conference) is the world’s largest forum in the field of electric propulsion for spacecraft, aiming at the exchange among researchers, developers, managers, scholars, and students and at the promotion of thruster RD and space activities. The conference is held every other year in alternation between a US and a non-US location and participants from more than twenty countries come together representing the worldwide electric propulsion community. Succeeding the 33rd IEPC in Washington DC, USA in 2013, it will return to Japan after 16 years, jointly with the 30th ISTS (International Symposium on Space Technology and Sciences) and the 6th NSAT (Nano-Satellite symposium).
