As this time of remarkable\naccomplishments draws to a close, it is important that we pause to honor those\nwho contributed to its design, operation, and success, and reflect on the\nlessons from this complex system, a true turning point in mankind\u2019s voyage into\nspace.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThis symposium will bring together an international group of\nscientists, technologists, engineers, mission designers, policy makers and\nstudents with an interest in learning from the significant contributions of the\nshuttle era and in exchanging ideas to promote future collaboration and\ncontinued leadership in space science and engineering. The symposium scope\nincludes topics of the Shuttle Era-its history, technical and scientific\nachievements, the orbiter, propulsion, structures and thermal protection,\nsystem and mission flight operations, ground operations, current and future\nvehicle concepts and designs, astronaut safety provisions and two panel\ndiscussions focusing on \u201clessons learned\u201d and international collaboration.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003ERegistration for the symposium is officially open\u0026nbsp;and\nparticipation in this unparalleled look at the space shuttle is strongly\nencouraged.
