CAST CONNEX is proud to be attending the IASS 2025 Symposium in Mexico City, as our Vice President, USA, and Director of our UK Division, Jennifer Pazdon, presents groundbreaking work on cast steel node solutions for NASA’s Mobile Launcher 2 (ML2)—a critical structure supporting the Artemis program’s lunar missions.
Presentation Title: Cast Steel Node Solutions for Complex Multi-Planar Tubular Connections on NASA Mobile Launcher 2
Presenter: Jennifer Pazdon, M.Sc.Eng., P.E.
Date & Time: Tuesday, October 28th | Session 28 | 4:00-6:00 PM (CST)
This presentation will cover how the custom cast steel components address ML2’s intricate geometric and structural challenges, offering insights into their role in optimizing strength, stiffness, weight, connection geometry, and construction efficiency. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how CAST CONNEX is contributing to the future of space exploration through innovative structural solutions.
About the IASS Symposium
The International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) will host its 2025 Symposium from October 27–31 at the Faculty of Architecture, UNAM, in Mexico City. This global gathering brings together architects, engineers, and researchers to explore innovations in shell and spatial structures.
With the theme “The Living Past as a Source of Innovation,” the symposium invites participants to reflect on historical construction practices while embracing cutting-edge technologies and sustainable design. Set in one of the world’s most culturally rich cities, IASS 2025 promises a vibrant exchange of ideas, technical sessions, workshops, and field trips.
