[STSP] Extension of abstract submission period for the 8th ASSC

[Phil Wilkinson]

Dear Colleagues,

we have extended the abstract submission period for this year's
ASSC. We are very short of astrobiology, atmospheric, planetary,
and remote sensing talks. Some space physics/weather groups have
also not submitted.

Please proceed to submit your abstracts ASAP. With best wishes,

Iver.

Session topics:
^ Space science, including space and atmospheric physics, remote sensing
   from space, planetary sciences, astrobiology and life sciences, and
   space-based astronomy and astrophysics.
