Dear researchers,
Space Applications Services NV/SA with the support of BELSPO are delighted to invite you to the first

ICE Cubes Belgian science day on 09-Jun-2017
Space Applications Services
Leuvensesteenweg 325
1932 Zaventem, Belgium

Space Applications Services is establishing a low cost, frequent regular service (three times a year) to
deliver experiments to the International Space Station in low earth orbit. This service is called
International Commercial Experiment Cubes Service (ICE Cubes). http://www.icecubesservice.com
We believe many of you would have an interest in a fast-track, simple and low-cost access to
microgravity. The intent of the event is to familiarize you with ICE Cubes and what it can mean for
your research, to identify ideas and steps forward in thematic discussion clusters with those with
related scientific interests and to present possibilities for funding of the scientific utilisation of the ICE
Cubes.
Please find the agenda of the event on the next page.
Please confirm your participation by reply to Hilde.Stenuit@spaceapplications.com no later than
Wed 24-May with the following information:
• Names and email addresses of participants
• Thematic area of interest for your team
We hope for your presence on that day to make sure your ideas can be included and look forward to
receiving you at our Space Apps premises in Zaventem!
Sincerely yours,
Hilde Stenuit
