The World’s Forum for Aerospace Leadership 21st AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting 13–17 February 2011, New Orleans, Louisiana AAS General Chair Angela Bowes AMA Inc./NASA LaRC AIAA General Chair Dr. Peter C. Lai The Aerospace Corporation AAS Technical Chair Dr. Moriba Jah AFRL/RVSV AIAA Technical Chair Dr. Yanping Guo Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Cover image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Wisconsin This is one segment of an infrared portrait of dust and stars radiating in the inner Milky Way. More than 800,000 frames from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope were stitched together to create the full image, capturing more than 50 percent of our entire galaxy. This is a three-color composite that shows infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer’s infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer’s multiband imaging photometer. This combines observations from the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) and MIPSGAL projects. Images, maps, and information in the conference program are used with the consent of all parties to AAS/AIAA. Cover design and conference program printing sponsored by The Aerospace Corporation.
