International Symposium on Space Exploration
Category: Vision News NASA recently announced that it will co-sponsor an international symposium on space exploration from November 30 through December 2, 2005 with the International Space University (ISU) in Strasbourg, France. A part of ISU's annual series of symposia that address timely space-related topics, "Space Exploration: Who, What, When, Where, Why?" will probe the issues and demands driving exploration policy and programs over the coming decades. Of particular interest are three of the core elements of the implementation of the Vision for Space Exploration: how to increase basic knowledge and understanding about space exploration, the enhancement of scientific training and education in space-related areas, and promoting opportunities for international participation to support US exploration activities. Further information and registration are available at ISU's website.View this site (non-NASA link)Posted: October 4, 2005.

NASA Rolls Out Exploration Systems Architecture Study Results
Category: Vision News NASA's new spaceship is the key to making the Vision for Space Exploration a reality. The Vision, announced by President Bush in January 2004, will extend humanity's presence across the solar system, starting with a return to the moon by the end of the next decade, followed by journeys to Mars and beyond. Building on the best of Apollo and shuttle technology, NASA's 21st century exploration system will be affordable, reliable, versatile and safe. The centerpiece of this system is a new craft designed to carry four astronauts to and from the moon, support up to six crewmembers on future missions to Mars, and deliver crew and cargo to the International Space Station.View this sitePosted: September 19, 2005.
