NRC Workshop on MMOD Next Week

NRC Workshop on MMOD Next Week

The National Research Council’s (NRC’s) Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board (ASEB) is holding a workshop next week to gather ideas on gaps and possible directions for NASA’s Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD) Programs. The public is invited to attend.

The workshop will be held March 9-10, 2011 at the Mason Inn Conference Center and Hotel in Fairfax, VA. The agenda and more details can be found on the ASEB website. One of the more interesting sessions is how to retrieve and remove orbital debris as called for in President Obama’s National Space Policy.

The workshop is part of an NRC study that is assessing NASA’s orbital debris activities.
