ISPCS 2010 to Provide Forum for ‘Dialogue' on a Range of Topics Important to Commercial Spaceflight
From an opening session that explores the historic, ongoing link between the founders of the Space Age and today's commercial space industry, to an exploration of the current status of today's advances in space technology, ISPCS 2010 will focus on people and their achievements.
"The forward momentum of the commercial space industry is unmistakable," said Patricia Hynes, conference chair. "SpaceX has achieved another milestone with the successful launch of its Falcon 9 rocket. XCOR and Masten Space Systems have announced a partnership. People working in the space business are constantly looking forward, and our annual event provides a forum for dialogue about the challenges that lie ahead."
Topics covered in other sessions at this year's event during Space Week in New Mexico will include hybrid spaceports; the impact of ITAR on commercial space; and test programs for commercial spaceflight.
The conference will provide attendees a "snap shot" of where individual companies are with a range of technologies and how various civil and military agencies are supporting commercial spaceflight programs.
ISPCS will be held Wednesday and Thursday, October 20 & 21, of Space Week in New Mexico. On Friday, October 22, ISPCS attendees will have the opportunity to view the first long distance capture carry of SpaceShipTwo at Spaceport America. This event is open ONLY to attendees of the full ISPCS conference. We will continue to update you on this event.
