IAPG Renewable Energy Conversion Working Group (RECWG) Space Power Panel Meeting 2023

November 9, 2023

The Interagency Advanced Power Group (IAPG) Renewable Energy Conversion Working Group (RECWG) Space Power Panel Virtual Meeting is scheduled for November 9, 2023, 1130 – 1430 (EST). The virtual meeting is being conducted via MS Teams.

The theme of the meeting is “power beaming and system considerations for the space environment.”

Meeting Goals

The IAPG emphasizes program coordination and dissemination of technical information to increase the effectiveness of Government programs, avoid duplication, identify technology gaps, and maximize success in research efforts. The RECWG meeting will provide a forum for a cross-cutting review of current government research activities across the interest of RECWG members within the IAPG Member Agencies (Army, Navy, Air Force, Department of Energy, NASA, and the Department of Transportation).

Meeting Attendees – Please Review Carefully

Attendance at the RECWG Space Power Panel virtual meeting is limited to U.S. persons – citizens or lawful permanent residents (LPRs), also known as permanent resident aliens (PRAs) or green card holders.
