Welcome to the 2005 Edition of ETTC in Toulouse

Following the last edition of the successful ETTC series in June 2003 (and the others preceding it in the last decades of the twentieth century), this years European Test and Telemetry Conference will once again be hosted in Toulouse at the Centre de Congrès Pierre Baudis.

In addition to its historical and artistic heritage, in 2005 the city will enjoy a major aeronautical event with the roll-out and maiden flight of A380, which is one of the best introductions to the conference. Flight test equipment and methodology will take pride of place in the oral or poster sessions and the associated exhibition, together with similar topics applied to space vehicles and platforms. Special attention will be paid this year to the testing of aircraft and spacecraft with respect to their environment: on the one hand : How to measure the impact of air and space activities on the environment, and on the other : How to validate the robustness of the platforms and their equipment to environmental conditions? The conference will offer a unique opportunity for scientists and engineers involved in test and telemetry to discuss many other hot topics see the list below.

We are looking forward to meeting you at this event and we very much hope you will visit the exhibition, attend the scientific presentations, and notably present a paper or display your latest products.

For the Organizing Committee,

Florent Christophe
