The SCTC is an international series focusing on the science and technology of plasma and charged particle interactions with space systems. Initiated in 1977 it has become a goal to hold the conferences with a periodicity of 2 years, rotating between Europe, the USA, and Japan. The conference is now returning to Japan following the very successful meetings held at Noordwijk (The Netherlands) in 2016 and Pasadena (USA) in 2014. The 15th SCTC (SCTC2018) will take place from the 25th to the 29th of June 2018 at Integrated Research Center of Kobe University in Japan.
Contributions are sought on a broad range of technology and science topics concerning the interaction of spacecraft with the charged particle environment and environmental impacts on spacecraft.
