Space Policy Events March 17-21, 2014
The following events may be of interest in the week ahead. The House and Senate are in recess (except for pro forma sessions).
During the Week
As another (sigh) snowstorm begins in the DC area, it’s just as well that this is quiet week for space policy events in Washington. Attention will be focused on the 45th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference taking place at The Woodlands, TX outside Houston instead. Jim Green and Jonathan Rall from NASA Headquarters will brief the crowd on the state of planetary science at NASA tomorrow (Monday) at 5:30 pm Central/6:30 pm Eastern. That event will be webcast.
Also of interest is Rep. Donna Edwards’s (D-MD) talk to the Maryland Space Business Roundtable on Tuesday at Martin’s Crosswinds in Greenbelt, MD. Hopefully the streets will be cleared of the snow by then since we don’t think that one is webcast.
Here are the events we know of as of Sunday evening.
