On the eve of NASA's 50th Anniversary, space still represents a frontier left remarkably undiscovered. We have come to depend on space systems for communicating with many parts of the world, for monitoring weather, for airplane navigation, for protecting the earth’s resources and to alert us of terrorist activities. Yet, we have barely scratched the surface. Why? This is the question we intend for the AIAA SPACE 2007 Conference & Exposition to address - to focus on the next fifty years of space and further refine the vision NASA has started to implement.
Discussions over the three-day event will highlight the numerous advances in space technologies and applications over the past half-century, and the obstacles that must be overcome for us to be successful as we look toward the next fifty years. The fact that the successes we have had in space remain largely unrecognized by the majority of people outside the space community is just one of the issues we must resolve. With increasing demands on national budgets and global tensions rising, growing awareness of both the achievement of space activities to this point—as well as the promise they hold for a more secure comfortable life on a global scale—is one of the main objectives of this conference.
Leaders from government, industry and academia will convene to share ideas and offer their perspectives on the political, economic, and social issues that must be addressed to take space utilization to the next level. Invited speakers and panelists will set the tone for discussions that will continue throughout the three-day program. This conference, with its space systems emphasis, complements other more specialized meetings by offering a broad view on all disciplines, making this meeting the “must attend” conference in 2007.
SPACE 2007 is co-chaired by The Boeing Company, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center.
