"As the Obama administration prepares to unveil its plans for NASA and the USA human spaceflight program, experts on space policy will convene in Washington DC on January 14 for a symposium on this topic. Scott Pace (TR), Director of the Space Policy Institute, will open the symposium with introductory remarks before a session on 'Science, Human SpaceFlight and Congress' featuring representatives of the House Committee on Space Aeronautics and the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. GWU professor Pascale Ehrenfreund (CL) and Stephen Katz of NIH will discuss the current state of human space flight, and Tom Cremins of NASA will give a talk with Len Fisk of the University of Michigan on 'Science and Human Space Flight Tomorrow.' Princeton University Professor Christopher Chyba (BR) is scheduled to give the closing keynote address. Universities Space Research Association (USRA) is cosponsor of the symposium. With a membership including 104 universities, USRA's mission is to advance the space-related sciences, develop and operate premier facilities and to promote space policy.
