What's Happening in Space Policy September 29-October 10, 2014
Here is our list of space policy events for the next TWO weeks and any insight we can offer about them. Congress returns on November 12.
During the Week
We are here in Toronto to cover the annual International Astronautical Congress, the joint meetings of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), and International Institute of Space Law (IISL). As always, it promises to be fascinating … and overwhelming. So many sessions, so little time. It’ll be quite a challenge to choose the “best” sessions to cover, but we’ll do what we can.
If you’re not here and are back in Washington, DC, be sure not to miss Adam Steltzner’s lecture at the National Academy of Sciences on Tuesday afternoon. He is the winner of the first Yvonne C. Brilll Lectureship in Aerospace Engineering. The lecture was created by AIAA and the National Academy of Engineering in honor of Brill, a distinguished aerospace engineer who passed way last year.
