Not a Trekkie convention or a science fiction conference, this meeting will draw prominent scientists and engineers from around the world to the Colorado School of Mines November 8-10. Among the participants will be keynote speaker Dr. Alan Binder, NASA principal investigator for the 1976 Viking Mars Lander Mission and the 1998 Lunar Prospector Mission. Papers are being solicited from both the academic and business worlds. Please feel free to use any of the following information. Call us if you have questions or would like additional information.
Photos are available upon request.
The roundtable will be held in the Green Center on the CSM campus. The recent discovery of the possible presence of lunar ice has renewed interest in studies of the Moon. There is renewed interest in large-scale space projects, such as beaming solar power from space to Earth. There is growing interest on the part of Congress and the Administration in commercial space possibilities. Our knowledge of space resources is growing exponentially.
