NASA DISCUSSES SHUTTLE & SPACE STATION PLANNING SUMMIT ON FRIDAY
NASA opened the third Integrated Space Operations Summit (ISOS) this
morning in Nashville, Tenn. The summit focuses on strategic planning for
human space flight programs.
NASA officials will be available for a media teleconference from 2 to 3 p.m.
EST, Friday, April 1 to discuss summit results. Reporters must contact Erica

Space Station and Space Shuttle Programs

ISOS Integration Panel chair
The summit's aim is to ensure existing human spaceflight programs, including
the Space Shuttle and International Space Station, remain focused on meeting
the agency's exploration goals, and to begin planning for the efficient
transition of existing space operations resources toward future exploration
needs.
Summit participants include NASA, industry, academia, and others with a
stake in space operations. Panels have been working for months on specific
issues. They use the summit to discuss their findings and make
recommendations to NASA leadership.
