“Orbital Sciences Corporation and the Changing Landscape of Commercial Space”
These are challenging yet exciting times for the Space Industry. Years of indecision and redirection have eroded the U.S. position of dominance in space and beleaguered the U.S. industrial base. Continued budget pressures and other pressing national priorities have severely curtailed Government spending while costs continue to escalate. Meanwhile, other countries are exerting their influence in space and new companies are emerging, promising to redefine traditional space markets and create new ones, including space tourism. Please join us in Costa Mesa on Thursday, May 3, 2012, 7:30am-9:00am, when John Steinmeyer, Senior Systems Project Manager, Launch Systems Group, Orbital Sciences Corporation, will discuss the changes in the Space Industry and Orbital’s pivotal role in the emerging commercial sector, with specific emphasis on Orbital’s Antares and Cygnus vehicles for ISS resupply.
The meeting is free, but RSVP’s in advance to Ivan Rosenberg are required to attend.
