NASA Conference Restrictions Lifted
NASA participation at technical conferences has been cleared per an April 10 NASA Interim Directive 9312.2. You are invited to read the Acting Administrator’s letter to AIAA. To read the letter, click HERE.
Insertion of Innovative Technology
Into New and Evolving Systems
AIAA, ASME, SAE, ASEE, and their industry partners, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, and Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, proudly invite you to Denver, Colorado, the Mile High City and Gateway to the Rockies, for the 45th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 2–5 August 2009.
The design of our next generation flight and space systems will be dependent more than ever on high performance, increasingly efficient, reliable and affordable propulsion systems. Our ability to incorporate new technologies into aircraft and spacecraft will have far reaching impacts to the evolutionary roles these complex systems play in our everyday lives. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, and Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control invite you to Denver and be a part of the exciting future of the aerospace propulsion industry.
Featured Speakers for 2009
Apollo Anniversary Panel: - Gerry Griffin - Lead flight director in Mission Control for three lunar landings during the Apollo program, and was an integral part of the team that helped the astronauts of Apollo 13 safely return to Earth after their oxygen tank exploded on their journey to the moon.
- Glynn Lunney - An employee of NASA since its foundation in 1958, Lunney was a flight director during the Gemini and Apollo programs, and was on duty during historic events such as the Apollo 11 lunar ascent and the pivotal hours of the Apollo 13 crisis.
- Frank Van Rensselaer - Has held various management positions with NASA during a 20-year period culminating at NASA headquarters where he was a charter member of Senior Executive Service, earning two of the three highest NASA awards.
- J.R. Thompson - Was the fifth Director of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center located in Huntsville, Alabama. He served as Director from September 29, 1986 to July 6, 1989. Thompson also served as NASA's deputy director from July 6, 1989 to November 8, 1991.
- Harrison "Jack" Schmitt - Played a key role in training Apollo crews to be geologic observers when they were in lunar orbit and competent geologic field workers when they were on the lunar surface. After each of the landing missions, he participated in the examination and evaluation of the returned lunar samples and helped the crews with the scientific aspects of their mission reports.
- Bob Sieck - Joined NASA at the Kennedy Space Center in 1964 as a Gemini Spacecraft Systems engineer. He served as an Apollo Spacecraft test team project engineer, Shuttle Orbiter test team project engineer, and in 1976 was named the Engineering Manager for the Shuttle Approach and Landing tests at Dryden Flight Research Facility in California.
- Arnold Aldrich - held key NASA management positions in each human spaceflight program from Project Mercury to Space Station. He served as the Director of the Space Shuttle Program, leading program recovery following the Challenger accident, and as Associate Administrator from 1989-1994.
Keynote:Innovation in Aeronautical and Exo-Atmospheric Propulsion:
Dr. Werner Dahm, USAF Chief Scientist
Keynote:Innovation’s Future-Constellation Initiatives
Brian Duffy,Lockheed Martin, Vice President Altair Program Manager
Award's Luncheon Keynote: Innovation in Launch and Space System Propulsion
Gen. Bob Kehler, USAF Space Command
Why Should You Attend? - Identify and highlight how innovative aerospace propulsion technologies get inserted into both new and evolving systems.
- Attend special panel sessions with a focus on advanced system applications that can be used to showcase the propulsion systems, components and technologies that enable them.
This event will be co-located with the 7th International Energy Conversion Engineering Conference (IECEC).
