Chairman's Message

On behalf of this year's organizing committee we are proud to welcome you to the 41 st Space Congress, the industry's longest running space symposium. This committee, representing all facets of the aerospace community, has come together to continue the tradition of providing a first class forum for speakers, open discussion and the presentation of scientific papers. This year's Space Congress theme, Determination: Meeting Today's Challenges, Enabling Tomorrow's Vision, is echoed throughout the week, beginning with our opening keynote speaker, 17 Commander and last man on the moon, Gene Cernan. Today's challenges are addressed by a blue ribbon panel of experts who discuss the Shuttle's Return to Flight, and top scientists providing in-depth updates on planetary exploration. We will hear from the nation's leading expert on the Chinese space program, Dr. Joan Johnson Freese. Tomorrow's vision forthe exploration of space is explored by Mars expert, Dr. Robert Zubrin and panelists who discuss destinations for both robotic and human space exploration. EELV program leaders and start-up companies vying for the X-Prize will present the military and commercial side of the space business. We will honor the legacy of exploration with a special evening event featuring legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager and learn about extreme exploration with Dr. Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer for SETI. Although this year's Space Congress honors many of the traditions associated with this event, there are some departures as well. Most notable is the elimination of the exhibits. Because of the high cost associated with building a temporary structure large enough to house exhibits on site, including them became a financial liability for Space Congress's sponsoring organization, The Cape Canaveral Council of Technical Societies. We chose instead to focus our resources on programming, bringing in consistently high caliber presenters, panelists and speakers from all facets of the aerospace industry. With the addition of a second ballroom facility at the Radisson, in future years it may be feasible to once again make exhibits a part of Space Congress. One of the traditions we are proud to continue is educational outreach. This year's youth science fair, featuring more than 90 participants from Brevard County, is being held at the Visitor Complex. This move allows us to showcase these extraordinary projects to Space Center guests from around the world. There will also be a special for 300 selected middle school students this week. In addition, each of the paper sessions will feature a student presenter. The exploration and use of space propels humanity forward, and forums such as these play a key role in shaping the future of civil, commercial and DOD space endeavors. It is our hope for you that participating in the 41 st Space Congress will be a time of both education and inspiration as we explore the determination that it will take for all of us to meet today's challenges and enable tomorrow's vision of a space faring society.
