Next Steps for Space Infrastructure

23 April 2008                                         9.30 am - 4.30 pm


With the decommissioning of the Space Shuttle and the completion of the build phase of the International Space Station it is timely for consideration of the next steps. NASA has returned to expendable launch systems and simple capsules, but Europe and other space fairing nations are still considering their next developments in launch systems and in orbit facilities. This symposium will provide a forum for consideration of what new capabilities are required and how they may be best met.
