                          Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin
                         Noordwijk, The Netherlands

The Hypervelocity Impact Symposium is a regular event that is dedicated to
enabling and promoting an understanding of the basic physics of high
velocity impact and related technical areas. This international event
provides a forum for researchers to share and exchange a wealth of knowledge
through oral and poster presentations and technical exhibits.

HVIS 2003 will be the eighth symposium in a series. It will be hosted by
ESTEC and held in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. The dates of the conference
coincide with the tourist season in the bulb district and Noordwijk is
located in this district.

The technical sessions will be held at the Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin,
Noordwijk during April 7-10, 2003.

All papers presented at the Symposium will be published in a refereed volume
of the International Journal of Impact Engineering.

Symposium topics

   * Hypervelocity phenomenology studies
   * High-velocity launchers and diagnostics
   * Spacecraft meteoroid and debris shielding and failure analysis
   * Material behaviour under high velocity impacts
   * Fracture and fragmentation
   * High velocity penetration mechanics and target response
   * Analytical and numerical simulation techniques
   * Asteroid impact and planetary defence technology
   * Penetration mechanics of shaped charges and explosively formed
     penetrators
   * Planetary impacts

Call for papers

Abstract of proposed papers are solicited from those actively interested and
involved in hypervelocity impact. The preferred method of submitting
abstracts is using the form on this web site.

Distinguished Scientist Award HVIS 2003

The Hypervelocity Impact Society makes an award for Distinguished Scientist
at each of its Symposia.

The next Symposium is to be held in Noordwijk, The Netherlands in April 2003
and the Society is seeking nominations for this prestigious award.

The award for Distinguished Scientist is based upon the following criterion:

   * Significant and lasting contributions to the field of hypervelocity
     science.

The award is normally given to an individual but a research team of two
individuals is also eligible.

Formal letters of nomination are invited from the HVIS Membership and anyone
who has been involved in hypervelocity science.

In preparing the letter of nomination, which should include supporting
information about the candidate, proposers may wish to address the
candidate's technical recognition within the community, the importance of
their work and its contribution to hypervelocity science and their personal
contribution and service to the Society.

Written nominations can be emailed to the following members of the Society:

   * Ian Cullis, email: igcullis_at_qinetiq.com
   * Gene Hertel, email: esherte_at_sandia.gov
   * Volker Hohler, email: hohler_at_emi.fhg.de
   * Tim Holmquist, email: tjholm_at_networkcs.com

The closing date for nominations is December 2002.

Best Paper Award HVIS 2003

At the forthcoming HVIS 2003 an award will be made for the best paper
submitted for presentation to the Symposium.

The selection criteria are:

   * Originality
   * Difficulty of Research
   * Importance of Research
   * Excellence of the Written Paper.

The selection of the best paper will be made at the manuscript review
meeting.

All authors are invited to submit a paper worthy of inclusion in the Best
Paper Review.
