NOTICE: SMC-IT 2021 will take place virtually.
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the Technical Committee on Software Engineering, since 2003, the International Conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information Technology (SMC-IT) has gathered system and software engineers, scientists, and other practitioners with the objective of advancing information technology (IT) for space missions.
As IT has progressively grown in importance to space exploration efforts and vice versa, it often becomes a major driver for what can be accomplished in space, as well as frequently dominating costs and schedules of space missions. This conference, in its 8th edition, will provide an excellent opportunity for technical interchange for all aspects of IT used for space missions.
