About the Workshop
The International Planetary Probe Workshop is an annual congregation of scientists, engineers, and technologists from around the world working in disciplines supporting planetary probes for exploration. The first workshop was held in Lisbon, Portugal in 2003, and IPPW has since alternated between the US and Europe as a nearly annual event.
IPPW Goals
- Review state-of-the-art in robotic exploration probes & landers.
- Provide a forum for innovative mission concepts.
- Attract early career professionals into EDL & planetary surface exploration.
- Foster international collaboration.
