Not a trade show. Not a paper mill. A working session for three sectors.
Space physical AI doesn't get built by one sector alone. Companies ship the hardware. Universities push the research frontier. Agencies define the missions and requirements. ISPAI 27 puts all three on every panel — deliberately designed as an industry–academia–government event, not a purely academic one.
Four topics. Both days.
Each theme runs as a moderated panel discussion on Day 1 and Day 2, seating industry, academic, and government voices together. Session Leads, moderators, and panelists will be announced soon.
Realizing Interconnected Lunar Infrastructure
Power, communications, and habitats that operate as a coordinated network rather than isolated outposts — and the commercial, research, and mission pathways to get there.
Autonomy, Robotics, and Onboard AI
The decision-making and manipulation systems that let spacecraft and rovers act without waiting on a ground link — from lab prototypes to flight-qualified systems.
Navigation, Tracking, and Space Situational Awareness
Knowing precisely where every asset and object is — and where it's headed next — across cislunar space and beyond.
Defending the Homeland
How space-based AI systems support national security, threat detection, and resilient defense infrastructure — where mission need meets commercial capability.
Two days, wall to wall.
The ION. Houston's innovation hub.
Houston, TX 77002
The ION anchors Houston's innovation corridor in Midtown — a short walk from the METRORail Ensemble/HCC station, with easy access from I-69 and I-45. A fitting venue for an event built around industry, research, and mission.
Badge pickup and both days of programming take place inside The ION's main event space.
