The Ground System Architectures Workshop (GSAW) is turning 30!

For 30 years, your insights and participation have transformed GSAW into the community’s largest annual technical event. Join us once again for GSAW 2026, where we welcome your contributions on the topical theme: “Ground System Disruption: Reshaping the Status Quo with Commercial Innovation.”

The growing proliferation of space-based capabilities drives the need for a shift from commercial augmentation to commercial integration. GSAW 2026 will focus on commercial systems and how integrating commercial capabilities will drive government solutions. Other topics pertaining to ground system architectures are also welcomed.

Join us in-person for Tutorials, Working Groups, Plenary Presentations, Posters, Technical Exhibits, Evening Sessions, and Classified Sessions. This year, GSAW 2026 emphasizes face-to-face technical exchanges and networking for the international ground systems community.
