The Joint Conference of 6th International Symposium on Physical Sciences in Space (ISPS-6) and 10th International Conference on Two-Phase Systems for Space and Ground Applications (ITTW2015) organized by JASMA (The Japan Society of Microgravity Application) and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) will be held on 14-18 September, 2015, at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan.

The International Symposium on Physical Sciences in Space (ISPS), coordinated by International Microgravity Science Strategic Planning Group (IMSPG), is an international and interdisciplinary scientific forum to foster international research projects by sharing physical science research outputs and plans on the International Space Station (ISS). In the symposium, not only outstanding results of ISS experiments over a decade, including precursor experiments with drop towers, parabolic aircraft flights, sounding rockets, unmanned recoverable capsules, but also future plans will be presented and discussed.

The International Conference on Two-Phase Systems for Space and Ground Applications (ITTW), organized by International Topical Team concerning liquid-vapor two-phase behaviors and heat transfer, has been held in the workshop style since 2006. ITTW is intended to provide great chances for researchers to exchange knowledge and information and to identify needs for collaborative researches in the present area encompassing several scientific and technological disciplines.

More information on the joint conference of ISPS-6 and ITTW2015 can be found at: http://www.jasma.info/isps-6_ITTW2015/ 

ISPS topics include: Fluid Science (Macroscopic Capillary Flow, Complex Fluid, Granular Flow etc.); Materials Science; Thermophysical Property; Crystal Growth; Combustion Science; Fundamental Science; Colloidal Science; Biophysics and Biotechnology; Engineering and Technology for Space Experiments; Education and Outreach; “Mohri Poster Session” (Student Poster Session); and Beyond the ISS (Exploration, Sub-orbital, etc.). Presentations not only on academic results but also on future plans are very welcome.

ITTW topics include: Boiling, Evaporation and Condensation; Films, Layers, Bubbles, and Drops; Physics and Properties Concerning Contact Line and Wetting; Flows Driven or Dominated by Surface Tension; and Spray, Jets and Two-phase Systems for Cooling.
