NASA has accepted the mandate to land U.S. astronauts on the Moon before the end of 2024, and the Artemis Program has been created to implement this challenge. It is a Moon to Mars program, and Congress has put forth a goal to NASA to send U.S. astronauts to Mars by 2033. NASA’s procurement strategy for these future human space flight developments has been to encourage commercial innovation and involvement through Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), and the pace of selections for vehicle development has picked up to meet the faster timeline of the 2024 mandate.
Please join us in Valencia, CA, on Thursday, September 19, 7:30am–9:00am (breakfast and networking at 7:00am), when Humphrey (Hoppy) Price, Mars Program Chief Engineer, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will describe the Moon and Mars architectures, a potential time frame for implementation, and how the Lunar missions could be extensible to Mars.
The meeting is free for all. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to http://adfscvsep19.eventbrite.com.
