| The NSSA is once again hosting its biennial Australian Space Development Conference. The 7th ASDC was by held in Sydney at the Wentworth Hotel between the 15-17th July inclusive.
The conference provides the only real venue in Australia to meet and mix with the many active participants in the international space industry. Past conferences have proven very popular and members have been able to mix with people such as NASA Assistant Administrators, senior people within many launch companies such as Boeing and Ariannespace, and satellite builders such as Space Systems Loral. Visonary Companies are also represented. These include Kistler Aerospace, Pioneer Rocketplane, and others. One of the reason earlier conferences have so successful, and such high profile delagates keep returning is because of the efforts of the volunteers who help at the conference. We need volunteers again to help at the 2002 conference. Duties include helping speakers to prepare, organising speakers, door duties and microphone runners. As a volunteer you do not pay the conference registration fee (although you do have to pay for meals and accommodation if you need it). You are able to view any of the sessions youn wish to see at no cost. You also get the opportunitiy to have meaningful conversations with many of the space industry's current leaders. Contact Wayne Short for more details on phone (02) 9150-4553. |
