Co-Chaired by Mark Nall, of NASA's Space Product Development Program and Mark Deuser, of Space Hardware Optimization Technology, Inc., the panel featured presentations on commercial Protein Crystal Growth, Plant Research, Materials Research and Development, Combustion, and Biotechnology. Each section was presented by leaders in those commercial research areas, and attendance remained standing room only through the session. Audience interest was high, and many of the presenters were approached by people wanting further information about the different programs and opportunities.
Work is already underway inplanning for potential follow-on sessions for next year's conference.
