The UCLA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the UCLA Space and
Planetary Sciences, Applications, Communications and Engineering (SPACE) Institute are
pleased to present “Chemistry and Materials for Space Science and Technology.” This
workshop aims to expose both the space science community and the chemistry community
to potential areas of research and application in which chemistry can be used in space science
and technology. This includes studying the space environment and objects in space (moons,
planets, space medium), but also the materials and chemistry that go into the vehicles,
propulsion and systems used to support space science and engineering. The workshop will
feature brief presentations by three distinguished speakers, followed by a roundtable
conversation and an open Q&A with the audience.
