AIAA-SPACE 2008: THE ANNUAL SPACE & DEFENSE SHOW

From Event details at tradeshowweek.com!:Future Space: National Priorities, Critical Decisions

Space has proven to be the silent backbone underpinning our commercial, civil, and military sectors. Three of the top issues in the upcoming election—economic competitiveness, the global war on terror, and the need for increased global climate change monitoring—are all dependent on our technological and operational achievements in space. The AIAA SPACE 2008 Conference & Exposition will reflect on these issues and more, while providing direction for future actions.

This event will be attended by leaders from all elements of the space community, including key government and business decision makers, providing an unparalleled forum for exchange and dialogue. Topics of discussion will include:

* How is the role of National Security Space changing in light of our recent experience fighting the global war on terror? * What new space capabilities does the Department of Defense need? What role will space play in homeland defense? * How will NASA, NOAA, and USGS implement a global earth observation system-of-systems? * What will the future of space exploration be in the next decade? * What are the challenges and opportunities relating to continued growth in commercial space? * What are the technologies currently under development that will allow further utilization of space? * How do we better support foundational technologies? * What is being done to ensure there is a strong and competent aerospace workforce to support future space activities? * What policy and regulatory issues must be addressed to facilitate future international collaborations?

AIAA SPACE 2008 will provide researchers, developers, and management from government, industry, and academia an opportunity to reflect upon the progress over the past decade, and debate how to best focus the great talent and resources of the space community on the future. Invited speakers and panelists will provide a unique perspective on key issues, setting the stage for continuing discussion throughout the program. This conference complements other more specialized meetings by offering both a top-down and bottom-up perspective on interdisciplinary capabilities and space systems, making this meeting the “must attend” conference for 2008.

AIAA SPACE 2008 is organized by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, co-chaired by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, sponsored by Orbital Sciences Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Raytheon, and ATK, and supported by The Aerospace Corporation, AIAA Technical Activities Committee (TAC) Space & Missiles Group, California Space Authority, Space News, and Aerospace America.
