A -- EXPLORERS WORKSHOP NASA's Office of Space Science (OSS) will conduct a one-day workshop with the space science community to discuss the status of, and issues pertaining to, the Explorer Program. The workshop will be held Thursday, April 29, 1999, at the Inn & Conference Center, University of Maryland, in College Park, MD. The workshop, which is the second in an anticipated series of such forums initiated in May 1997, is open to members of the space science community. The focus of this year's workshop will be to obtain an assessment of the current Explorer Program and NASA's response to the recommendations made in the 1997 workshop. It is intended that this continuing dialog with the space science community will lead to further improvements in the execution and the ultimate scientific productivity of the Explorer Program. Unfortunately, NASA will not be able to pay for travel to the meeting.
