IAF administrative and technical Committees

The IAF Administrative and Technical Committees provide specialized advice and recommendations to the IAF, supporting the Federation’s work.

They play a key role in the Federation’s internal affairs, including the provision of guidance, recommendations and related support to the IAF Bureau and the IAF General Assembly.

The IAF Technical Committees are powerful sources of knowledge. They are composed of experts and global leaders in difference fields of space activities, who discuss and anticipate the evolution of space activities.

During the IAF Spring Meetings, the committees are in charge of selecting papers presented at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) and thereby contribute to the definition of the IAC technical programme.

The International Programme Committee (IPC) implements the technical sessions at the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC).

The IPC Steering Group Committee assists the IPC Co-Chairs in resolving issues and helps develop and render more effective the IAC technical programme.
