The IEEE Space Hardware and Radio Conference (IEEE SHaRC) addresses new concepts, novel implementations, as well as emerging applications for space-based electronic systems for communications, earth observation, and other novel disruptive services. To meet recent needs, there has been a renaissance of interest and investment in space- and suborbital-based systems especially for high-data-rate communications networks. These new global satellite networks are disruptive, rely on new system and subsystem design paradigms, and are an enabler for many novel applications. The IEEE Space Hardware and Radio Conference provides a forum for discussions on this new frontier.

Papers featuring innovative work are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas of the space hardware and systems:
