Conference Information
SpaceWire
SpaceWire is a leading onboard data-handling network for use onboard spacecraft. It is simple to implement and use, and is being deployed on many space missions.
Aims / Scope of Conference
The International SpaceWire Conference aims to bring together SpaceWire product designers, hardware engineers, software engineers, system developers and mission specialists interested in and working with SpaceWire to share the latest ideas and developments related to SpaceWire technology. The conference is targeted at the full SpaceWire community including both academics and industrialists.
Conference Location
The International SpaceWire Conference will be held at the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Technical Programme
Sessions are dedicated to the following topics:
- SpaceWire missions and applications, which covers missions using SpaceWire, how SpaceWire has been used on existing or planned spacecraft and other applications of SpaceWire.
- SpaceWire components which covers devices supporting the SpaceWire Standard such as sensor devices, electronic components, ASICs & FPGAs, cables and connectors.
- SpaceWire onboard equipment and software, which covers products supporting the SpaceWire Standard including onboard equipment, instruments and related onboard software.
- SpaceWire test and verification, which covers the test and verification of SpaceWire components, equipment and systems including FPGA/ASIC validation techniques, cable/connector testing and approaches to system level test.
- SpaceWire networks and protocols, which covers network architectures, configuration, discovery and "plug and play" concepts, higher-level protocols for SpaceWire and related software designs and issues.
- SpaceWire standardisation, which covers the SpaceWire Standard, new protocols being prepared for standardisation and candidates for future standardisation.

Sponsors
The sponsors of the 2013 International SpaceWire Conference are:
European Space Agency
- The European Space Agency is Europe's gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the
development of Europe's space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to
deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe. ESA drove and funded the development of the
SpaceWire standard. ESA is using SpaceWire on several missions including Bepi Colombo,
GAIA and Earth Care.
NASA
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States of America.
NASA's mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research. SpaceWire is being designed into the James Webb Space Telescope, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, GEOS-R and other missions, and is currently in orbit in the SWIFT spacecraft.
Aeroflex
- Aeroflex provides HiRel standard and custom integrated circuits and IP for the aerospace and satellite markets from their worldwide divisions.
JAXA
- Japanese Aerospace eXploration Agency is Japan's core organization for aerospace
technology, which promotes consistent activities, from basic research to technology development
and utilization. JAXA aims to pursue the enormous possibilities in space and aviation,
and challenge various research and development fields in the aim of "Sustainable Development"
in order to contribute to peace and happiness for all mankind. JAXA is using SpaceWire on
the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter and NeXT.
RUAG Space
-RUAG Space is Europe's leading independent equipment supplier to space industry worldwide. In the Swedish operation, Computer systems
is the dominating product area. Deliveries include guidance computers for launchers and Computers, Data Handling Systems and Instrument
Control Units for satellites. RUAG Space were early adopters of the IEEE-1355 protocol in Rosetta, Mars Express and Venus Express and started
using the Spacewire protocol in ESA missions like Herschel, Planck and Aeolus with very good results. RUAG Space participates actively in the
standardization work as well as in development of SpaceWire building blocks like the SpaceWire RTC and the SpW-10X router.
Space Technology Centre
- Space Technology Centre, University of Dundee - A world leading centre for the development
of SpaceWire technology. The SpaceWire standard was written by University of Dundee
with input from spacecraft engineers across Europe. SpaceWire intellectual property, chips
and software being used for several international space missions was developed in the
Space Technology Centre. STAR-Dundee (www.star-dundee.com) is a
spin-out from the Space Technology Centre.
