FAR 2025
The International Conference on Flight Vehicles, Aerothermodynamics and Re-entry (FAR) is an international event organized by the European Space Agency (ESA) in conjunction with other global space Agencies and institutional partners, including the HyFAR-ARA association (HyFAR-ARA), the Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), the Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt (DLR)..
The FAR conference aims at providing space agencies, companies, organizations, universities and research institutes with a forum of excellence in the area of flight vehicle engineering, aerothermodynamics, and re-entry missions.
The conference encompasses the whole spectrum of flying vehicles for suborbital, orbital and exploration applications, including upper stages, (re)-entry, expendable, and reusable vehicles. Concurrently, FAR aims to highlight recent advances in simulation and analysis tools, on-ground and in-flight experimental capabilities, hardware and technology developments related to fluid mechanics and demonstrators enabling the realization of these flight vehicles.
The 1st FAR conference was held in 2019 in Monopoli, Italy (FAR2019).
The 2nd edition of the conference was held in June 2022 in Heilbronn, Germany (FAR2022). It gathered more than 300 participants. Over 200 papers were presented and about 30 posters were exposed.
