May 2012 Workshop

Second International Workshop on On-Orbit Satellite Servicing
Registration Open Through May 19, 2012

Hosted by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center May 30-31 in Greenbelt, Md, this two-day event will bring together principal and potential stakeholders of the growing satellite servicing community to discuss servicing plans, share future missions that could enable science exploration and new fleet strategies, and probe into the issues that could either stimulate or strangle the emerging commercial industry. SSCO's Jill McGuire and Canadian Space Agency's Andrew Keenan will present results to date from the Robotic Refueling Mission. Register today →
