Chairman's Message The Thirty-First Space Congress represents a shift in focus from our past presentations on space activ­ ity. We have structured a program that presents specifics on what is being developed in space and how these developments benefit man­ t kind here on Earth. The theme we have chosen reflects that focus, "Space Exploration and Utiliza­ tion for the Good of the World." Our intentions are to present discussions that will make the national and international public aware that space exploration is good - good for the individual, good for the economy, and good for improving quality of life throughout the world. Our program will focus on the impact the space program has had on medicine, such as miniaturization and microgravity research in biologi­ cal sciences; the impact on geography, such as surveying Earth's resources from space, weather and disaster warning, and navigation. We will also present data on the impact relating to communications and education, and real and potential growth industries. Other sessions will focus on the benefits that are anticipated as we continue to reach out into the universe. In short, we will attempt to provide the public with an overview of how their life has been enriched through efforts in space and space-related activities. Our four major panel sessions will discuss Humans Working in Space and the products of this work; Systems Working in Space which are producing cost and quality of life benefits relating to improved products and services; Dividends derived here On Earth from knowledge gained From Space exploration and utilization; and Future Steps in Space which are anticipated to significantly benefit the people around the world. Technical paper sessions, presented by the investigators who have participated in these space experiments, will expand and expound upon these themes, as will the space-oriented exhibits presented by many of the leading aerospace companies. Additionally, we will moti­ vate our youth through such activities as our very highly successful Science Fair, Space Congress Model contest, and the "Meet the Astronauts" panel. The Space Congress is sponsored by the Canaveral Council of Technical Societies(CCTS), and is supported by the National Aeronau­ tics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Department of Defense (DOD), as well as the communities and aerospace companies of the space coast. On behalf of myself and this year's committee, we look forward to sharing our new focus and exciting programs.
