We Are Happy To Bring You
Two Exciting Events Featuring
The International Space Station:
Sixth Annual International Teleconference
Program Two - "Make it
Your Business"
Thursday, February 25, 1999
10:00 am - 12:00 pm Pacific
(1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Eastern)
Make it Your Business, is a live, interactive satellite program produced
by NASA specifically for research and development (R&D) professionals
and managers in industry and academia.
It provides a unique opportunity for viewers to learn more about scientific
and commercial research in the life and material sciences and biotechnology.
Since the first two modules of the space station are scheduled for assembly
in space prior to this teleconference, the program promises a firsthand
update about the progress of the world´s largest orbiting research
facility.
Last year´s event was licensed to over 600 international sites
and viewed by approximately 8 million people. The program was also taped
by many sites and aired throughout the year over local government and
university channels, public access channels, public television stations,
and NASA Select satellite.
This program will emphasize commercial space R&D, and provide access
to industry, government, and academic researchers who plan to use ISS
to expand knowledge and provide benefits to people on Earth. A diverse
panel of top NASA, university and commercial researchers, international
investors, and other experts will take your questions and comments on
the air.
Briefings will be provided on:
- current government, industry and university ISS research partnerships
- current biotechnology, life sciences, and materials research in microgravity
- the emerging field of commercial space development the work of scientists,
engineers, and entrepreneurs as they prepare for the Space Station era
- research opportunities and how to participate
This event is designed especially for:
- research and development professionals
- commercial researchers and business representatives in biotechnology,
pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and materials research
- scientists affiliated with universities, hospitals, and government
agencies
- university students and faculty investors
