Shanghai, China, September 15, 2019--Space industry conferences come in all shapes and sizes. As someone who has spent most of my career covering the commercial and government satcom industry, most of the conferences I attend are more commercial in nature—discussion tends to focus on business plans that are already in existence, or otherwise, on the horizon. This year, for the first time, I was fortunate enough to be invited to the 8th CSA-IAA Conference on Advanced Space Technologies, a conference held every two years in Shanghai, and hosted by the Chinese Society of Astronautics (CSA), the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), and the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST).
