Aerospace sectors have experienced rapid growth in last decades. Several new initiatives including development of fully autonomous unmanned aircrafts, self-healing aircrafts, high performance miniature satellites (micro, nano, pico, femto satellites) and intelligent space robots/rovers have been started. All of these initiatives are highly promising but pose tremendous challenges. The workshop will focus on the prospects of the future aerospace systems, underlying technologies and the challenges involved.
