Abstract should be strictly according to the following Template:
ABSTRACT TITLE
Author(s)
Affiliation (including full mailing address and e-mail address)
Technical Session No.: (indicate the preferred technical session for
presentation)
The important thing is that the abstract conveys the key points you wish to
make in your oral / poster presentation, and gives enough information for the
program committee to judge whether it is appropriate for the IAA International
Conference on Low-Cost Planetary Missions: (1) does it relate to a low-cost
planetary mission; (2) is it appropriate for the session to which it is being
submitted; (3) will it attract interest from other Conference attendees.
Abstracts are limited to one page in length. They will be reproduced
electronically and provided to Conference attendees on a CD.
The abstract should conform to the 11 point Times New Roman text, BOLD ALL-CAPS
TITLE, bold subtitles. The important thing is that it is readable.
A one-page MS Word .doc file or unlocked Adobe .pdf file is preferred.
Please feel free to include figures if they are required to convey a key point,
but please use only black and white in order to keep the file size to a
minimum. Crop/resize your images as appropriate before inclusion. Make sure
lines are bold enough and text large/bold enough to be legible; for
photographs, make sure there is adequate contrast. Note: the program committee
cannot fix abstract formats or figures for you. The program CD will contain
only what you submit.
Due to limited CD capacity and our expectation that we will receive many
abstracts, please do not use color. Please provide text and figures (if any) in
black and white, with suitably high contrast.
By all means include references if you feel they provide useful material to the
Conference participants. If you refer to obscure material such as company or
Space Agency reports (material that a typical university library is not likely
to be able to obtain easily), please feel free to bring copies to the meeting
to hand out at your oral / poster session. Please also feel free to bring hard
copies of your abstract to hand out at your oral / poster session. The
distribution of any hard copy will be your responsibility.
