SP -- NASA REUSABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY EXPOSITION-JUNE 22, 2000 NASA Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology Exposition-June 22, 2000 NASA invites you to participate in a technology exposition presenting the reusable launch program history, current status, technologies and future plans. This event will be hosted by NASA Dryden Flight Research Center located in Edwards, California, on the western edge of the Mojave Desert, 80 miles north of Los Angeles. The unpiloted X-37 will be NASA's first reusable launch vehicle demonstrator to fly in both orbital and reentry environments, operating up to 25 times the speed of sound. The X-40A, X-34 and other X-vehicles will be on hand for viewing and discussion. Where: NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California When: June 22, 2000, exhibits open at 8:00 a.m., speakers begin at 9:30 a.m. Who: U.S. citizens from U.S. government agencies, universities, and U.S.-owned companies interested in the current and future technologies and experiments related to reusable launch vehicles Register by June 15th.

Bob joined MSFC in 1999 from TRW in Redondo Beach, California, where he managed the Propulsion Systems Center. TOPIC: Future Generations of RLVs Daniel L. Dumbacher, Manager for 2nd Generation RLV Program Dan oversees the budget for development of the next generation of RLVs. He previously served as deputy director of MSFC's Propulsion Laboratory and as NASA's X-33 deputy program manager at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works. TOPIC: NASA Pathfinder Program and X-34 John R. London III, Manager for Future-X Pathfinder Program John manages NASA's Future-X Pathfinder Program, which develops and flight tests vehicles and experiments. Previously, John managed the X-34 Project. He joined NASA in 1997 after retiring as a lieutenant colonel from the U.S. Air Force. TOPIC: X-37 Project Overview Susan G. Turner, Project Manager for X-37 Susan manages the X-37 Project, which will develop the first experimental vehicle to fly in both orbital and reentry environments. X-37 is the first flight demonstrator for Future-X. Susan previously served as Assistant Chief of MSFC's Propulsion Laboratory. TOPIC: X-Vehicle Flight Testing Larry Crawford, Director of Aerospace Projects Larry directs Aerospace Projects at DFRC. Previously, he managed flight research for the X-43 Project, NASA's experimental hypersonic flight research program called Hyper-X. The afternoon program includes technology briefings, X-vehicle viewing, and other X-37 technology exhibits. Whether you attend or not, NASA is interested in your opinion.
