The hotel room block has been extended until 15 February 2008, or until the block is sold out.

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is pleased to announce that the 3rd Space Exploration Conference will be held 26–28 February 2008 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.

As we recognize the many accomplishments the space community has contributed this past year, as well as the celebration of NASA’s 50th anniversary in 2008, the 3rd Space Exploration Conference will serve as fertile ground for the best of the space community to gather, review pivotal programs from the past, and synergize its input to forward space exploration for the next 50 years. Dialogue and decisions made at this opportune time in history will help define and meet the challenges we will face in our nation’s space programs for decades to come.

Associated with the conference will be Education Alley, featuring dynamic educational outreach activities and associated competitions that will inspire the next generation to continue the exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

  • NASA Mission Directorate Updates
  • Constellation Initial Capabilities: From ISS to Lunar Missions
