The conference allowed SAASST to showcase its research laboratories to a national and international audience. In addition, SAASST researchers were able to discuss their projects with hundreds of other researchers, especially in space engineering applications. Furthermore, several space companies are interested in SAASST projects and willing to collaborate in SAASST's CubeSats missions.
