U.S. Chamber of Commerce Programmatic Workshop on NASA Lunar Surface Systems Concepts
02.13.09
February 25-27, 2009
U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Washington, DC
As part of an ongoing collaboration, NASA and the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce (USCC) Space Enterprise Council (SEC) are conducting a workshop on NASA
Lunar Surface Systems (LSS) Concepts. The objective is to provide a
status of NASA's lunar surface exploration architecture, to share
results of recent innovative lunar concept studies, and to seek feedback
from U.S. industry and other interested parties. The workshop will include briefings on NASA, industry, and university
analyses performed for NASA's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate
(ESMD) and Constellation Program (CxP), with particular emphasis on a recently completed suite of lunar
surface study contracts administered by the Constellation Program's LSS
Project Office. If interested in attending this workshop, please
