Dear Colleague,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 10^th International Conference on Recent Advances in Air and Space Technologies (RAST2023). This event will be held on June 7-9, 2023. The conference will be a face-to-face event in Istanbul, Turkey.

International Conference on Recent Advances in Air and Space Technologies (RAST) is held by the National Defence University, Turkish Air Force Academy at the international level biennially.

As in the previous meetings; organizations such as the Ministry of National Defence, Ministry of Industry and Technology, Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, Turkish General Staff, Turkish Air Force Command, Presidency of Defence Industries, General Directorate of Mapping, General Directorate of Military Factories, TÜBİTAK Space Technologies Research Center, TÜBİTAK Defence Industries Research and Development Institute, TÜBİTAK Informatics and Information Security Research Center, and distinguished universities of Türkiye are expected to contribute to 10^th RAST Conference.

RAST2023 is intended to be a forum for the exchange of recent research results and ideas in air and space technologies. It should be of interest to a wide range of participants from government agencies, relevant international institutions, universities, research organizations, and air and space companies, as well as media and the general public. Presentations are encouraged by international space agencies as well as the private sector.

The presentations will be given in English. Participants are invited to submit electronically full papers of their work, following the instructions available on the web page. All accepted and presented papers will be published as Proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Air and Space Technologies-RAST2023 in IEEE Xplore.
