NASA’s Planetary Exploration Science Technology Office (PESTO) is hosting a virtual workshop for the planetary science technology community. Over two days, investigators funded through PESTO’s programs and other NASA funded technology development programs will report on the status of planetary science technology development projects.
The workshop will hold a single track with no parallel sessions, allowing all attendees to view the entire program. Talks will be 10-20minfollowed by a dedicated Q&A panel.
The full agenda will be posted on this website ahead of the workshop.
The workshop is open to anyone registered to attend with an interest in planetary science technology development including scientists, engineers, technologists, mission planners, students, and program staff from across NASA, academia, industry and other agencies. PESTO-funding is not required to attend.
Registration is open and there is no cost to attend. Registration for all attendees will close on November 24,2026.
