6th SPACE PASSIVE COMPONENT DAYS - SPCD 2026
13-16 October 2026
Noordwijk, The Netherlands
Passive Components represent more than 80% of the EEE parts used in spacecraft. Therefore, they represent a major concern for space applications. In recent years, the development of Passive Components has been driven by reliability, performances, new functionalities, mass and volume saving and cost reduction.
Space Passive Component Days (SPCD) international Symposium
The SPCD international Symposium is the premier technical conference dedicated to Passive components for space applications. It is an exceptional venue to learn more about the latest advances in this field and meet recognized experts from industry, academia and agencies.
