On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Hypervelocity Impact Society, the planning committee is pleased to announce the 15th Hypervelocity Impact Symposium to be held April 14-19, 2019 in Destin, Florida, USA.
The Hypervelocity Impact Symposium (HVIS) is a biennial event organized by the Hypervelocity Impact Society that serves as the principal forum for the discussion, interchange, and presentation of the physics of high- and hypervelocity impact and related technical areas. It is intended for scientists, engineers, and technical managers from the academia, industry, government, and defense programs. The HVIS Symposia have a long-standing international reputation as a catalyst for stimulating research in this area through a wealth of oral and poster presentations, and commercial exhibits. The Symposium's proceedings are the major archival source of papers published in this field.
The Second Call for abstracts has been issued! Abstract submission and review is in progress. Authors are encouraged to submit their abstracts by clicking on the "Abstract Submission" tab. Deadline for abstract submission is November 30, 2018
