Small Payload Rideshare Conference
As part of the on-going effort to develop points of contact and
relationships within the space industry, AMSAT Executive Vice President,
Lee McLamb, KU4OS, attended the Small Payload Rideshare Conference
sponsored by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the USAF Space
and Missile Systems Center/Space Test Program Office (SMC/STP), and the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Goddard Spaceflight Center
(NASA/GSFC). This annual conference is designed to address the issues
related to access to space for small payloads, their potential benefits,
and the key technologies for achieving affordable access to space. This
year's conference was held 6-7 June 2005 in Denver, Colorado.
"This continues to be a very informative conference", reports Lee. He
continued, "We are learning where there may be opportunities for
mutually beneficial partnerships and how to better coordinate with with
them".
Included in the conference were presentations on new small launch
vehicles as well as several presentations on secondary payload adapters
being developed for US launch vehicles. Lee said, "It will take work,
but I see real potential for partnerships that will benefit the Eagle
Project."
