NASA INNOVATIVE ADVANCED CONCEPTS SYMPOSIUM MARCH 27-29

WASHINGTON -- NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Symposium
will be held March 27-29 at the Westin Pasadena Hotel, 191 North Los
Robles Ave., in Pasadena, Calif. The NIAC examines early stage
concepts that may lead to advanced and innovative space technologies
critical for NASA to enable missions 10 to 100 years from today.

Panel topics during the symposium include space debris elimination,
fission fragment rocket engine propelled spacecraft, and the
potential for ambient plasma wave propulsion systems.

NIAC is part of NASA's Space Technology Program, which develops
technologies that enable future NASA missions. NIAC awardees come
from academia, the private sector and government research labs.
