Space Resources Roundtable

Abstracts are limited to two pages, including all figures, tables, and references. Longer submissions will be cut off after the second page. Abstracts may be on any topic related to space resources and their utilization. See the list on the main homepage for this year’s emphases and check previous SRR presentations at www.isruinfo.com.

Abstracts are mini-papers; tell all the information in concise form rather than promising to talk about it. State conclusions and recommendations clearly and briefly. Abstracts may be refused if the Steering Committee deems they are inappropriate or not substantive.

Abstracts are due by March 16, to allow time for program organization. The Final Announcement, to be sent in mid-May, will include the conference agenda and schedule of presentations.

We encourage presenters to turn their abstract into a full paper to be considered for the new Space and Planetary Resources (SPR) journal after the conference. All peer-reviewed manuscripts accepted for publication will be exempt of any article publication charges in this open-access journal. You can find more information about the manuscript submission process in Springer’s Space and Planetary Resources journal webpage.

Depending on the number of abstracts submitted, talks will be 15 or 20 minutes in length, and some abstracts may be accepted to be presented in a poster session. Presentation slides and poster displays should be sparse with words and dense with pertinent images; readability is paramount.
