International Conference on Planetary Geology and Surface Imaging Systems

International Conference on Planetary Geology and Surface Imaging Systems – August 8, 2026, organized by Wings of Aero.

1] Conference Introduction

The International Conference on Planetary Geology and Surface Imaging Systems (ICPGSIS 2026) brings together scientists, engineers, researchers, mission designers, and planetary exploration experts from across the world to delve into the geological processes, surface morphology, and advanced imaging technologies used in exploring planetary bodies.

As new missions target the Moon, Mars, Venus, asteroids, and icy moons, the ability to understand planetary surfaces through high-resolution imaging, mapping, and geoscientific analysis becomes crucial. ICPGSIS 2026 aims to create a multidisciplinary platform to exchange knowledge, showcase innovations, and discuss future exploration strategies.

2] Conference Objective

• To advance understanding of planetary geology, mineralogy, geomorphology, and surface processes.

• To explore innovations in planetary imaging systems, including high-resolution cameras, radar, spectrometers, LiDAR, and thermal imaging systems.

• To provide insights into planetary mapping, terrain analysis, and geological interpretation using AI and remote sensing.

• To facilitate collaboration between academia, space agencies, and industry partners.

• To encourage young researchers and enhance global participation in planetary science research.

3] Conference Outcome

Participants will:

• Gain exposure to the latest research trends in planetary geology and surface imaging technologies.

• Learn the methods used in analyzing planetary terrains using remote sensing datasets.

• Understand the challenges and opportunities in designing imaging systems for future missions.
