Abstract: Continued constrained budgets and growing interests in
the industrialization and development of space requires NASA to seize every
opportunity for assuring the maximum return on space infrastructure investments.
This workshop provided an excellent forum for reviewing, evaluating, and
updating pertinent strategic planning, identifying advanced concepts and
high-risk/high-leverage research and technology requirements, developing
strategies and roadmaps, and establishing approaches, methodologies, modeling,
and tools for facilitating the commercial development of space and supporting
diverse exploration and scientific missions. Also, the workshop addressed
important topic areas including revolutionary space systems requiring investments
in innovative advanced technologies; achieving transformational space operations
through the insertion of new technologies; revolutionary science in space
through advanced systems and new technologies enabling experiments to go
anytime to any location; and, innovative and ambitious concepts and approaches
essential for promoting advancements in space transportation. Details concerning
the workshop process, structure, and results are contained in the ensuing
report.

Abstract: The Second Workshop on New Concepts for Far-Infrared
and Submillimeter Space Astronomy aimed to highlight the groundbreaking
opportunities available for astronomical investigations in the far-infrared
to submillimeter using advanced, space-based telescopes. Held at the University
of Maryland on March 7-8, 2002, the Workshop was attended by 130 participants
from 50 institutions, and represented scientists and engineers from many
countries and with a wide variety of experience. The technical content featured
17 invited talks and 44 contributed posters, complemented by two sixperson
panels to address questions of astronomy and technology.

Title (Incl. Subtitle): Seventh International Workshop on Microgravity
Combustion and Chemically Reacting Systems
Publication Date: August 2003
Authorized Users: Publicly available
Author: Sacksteder, Kurt
Author Affil.: NASA Glenn Research Center
Abstract: The Seventh International Workshop on Microgravity Combustion
and Chemically Reacting Systems was planned for June 3-6, 2003, in Cleveland,
Ohio, near the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field. The new
name for the workshop is based on the decision to broaden our scope to encompass
support for future space exploration through basic and applied research
in reacting systems that in some cases may not look like combustion. The
workshop has been lengthened to 4 days with focus sessions on spacecraft
fire safety and exploration-related research. We believe that the microgravity
combustion science community is almost uniquely positioned to make substantial
contributions to this new effort.

Title (Incl. Subtitle): International Thermal Detectors Workshop
(TDW 2003)

Abstract: NASA's future planetary and Earth Science missions will
require ever more sensitive thermal detectors operating between 2K and
300 K. It is in response to this need that the International Workshop on
thermal detectors (TDW03) was held. It put together space borne IR/Sub-mm
and heterodyne instrument scientists and astronomers, thermal detector
developers, cryocooling technologists as well as bandpass and blocking
filter experts. Their varied expertise and backgrounds allowed for a fertile
discussion on outstanding issues and future detector developments. In this
regard TDW03 was a great success.
