Location: Doubletree Hotel Crystal City
, Arlington, Virginia, USA
Info: This year’s Inside Aerospace forum will bring together leaders from the United States and abroad for a candid discussion of all aspects of aerospace workforce development. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has partnered with the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the Aerospace Department Chairs Association (ADCA) to sharpen our focus on the aerospace workforce from both industry and academic perspectives. Our theme of “working together” encompasses all segments of the profession, and also brings in international viewpoints as well as those of young professionals, educators, and the legislative arm of the government.

Location: Pasadena, California, USA
Info: The Phoenix spacecraft's landing system hearkens back to the Mars landing system design used by the Viking landers of the 1970s - and closer still to its cousin, the lost Mars Polar Lander of late 1999. How does it work and why does it land so differently than the Mars rovers? Odder still, why does the landing system now planned for the big 2009 rover different from either the Phoenix lander or the rovers? What happened to the airbags? Have JPL's engineers gone off the deep end, or is there a method to their madness? Where is all this design diversity leading? Will humans land on Mars using these systems? JPL's Rob Manning will attempt to clear the Mars dust off this murky story.
