Dear Astrophysics Strategic Technology & Research Accelerator (ASTRA) community members-

There will be a webinar on Friday 5 June 2026 at 12 noon Eastern (9a Pacific) on Space Interferometry.

https://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/programs/physics-of-the-cosmos/community/astra-space-interferometry-webinar-5-june-2026

Abstract: This webinar will provide an overview of the current landscape of space interferometry, spanning foundational concepts, enabling technologies, mission architectures, and key astrophysical science applications. Experts across the community will explore how interferometric techniques can enable transformative advances in Physics of the Cosmos, Cosmic Origins, and Exoplanets science.

The event is intended both as an introduction for scientists and technologists interested in the field and as a forum for community discussion in support of the ASTRA process. The webinar will conclude with an open discussion aimed at identifying opportunities for collaboration.

A detailed agenda for the webinar, along with connection information, can be found on the event webpage.

Wishing you the best,
