SPACE 2007 conference September 18-20: “The Next 50 Years”

Science - Space

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is holding its SPACE 2007 conference and exposition from September 18 to 20 at the Long Beach (California) Convention Center.         

Called “Space: The Next 50 Years”, the conference is being held near the anniversary of what is generally considered the beginning of space exploration: the launching of the first artificial satellite Sputnik 1 (Russian "Спутник-1") by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957.

The home Web page of the Space 2007 conference states: “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.”

During the three-day event, space exploration and aerospace leaders from industry, academia, and government will look back on the many innovations in space technologies and applications made over the past fifty years. They will also discuss the economic, political, and social issues and problems to be dealt with in the next fifty years.

SPACE 2007 is being chaired by The Boeing Company, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center.
