The Review of U.S. Human Space Flight Plans Committee, chaired by retired Lockheed Martin CEO Norm Augustine, was established by the Obama administration to evaluate ongoing U.S. human space flight programs, as well as alternatives, and to ensure that future human space flight plans are safe, innovative, affordable, and sustainable. )
The panel will discuss the findings of the report, and the possible future direction of the U.S. space program, as well as the immediate steps NASA might take in fiscal year 2010. Panelists include:
* Frank Culbertson - Former NASA astronaut who completed three space shuttle missions, and managed NASA's "Shuttle-Mir" program, overseeing nine dockings of the shuttle with the former Russian space station. Culbertson is now vice president of business development at Orbital Sciences Corporation.
* Scott "Doc" Horowitz - Former NASA astronaut who completed four space shuttle missions, leaving NASA in 2004 to become director of space transportation and exploration at ATK-Thiokol. Horowitz was NASA's Associate Administrator for Exploration Systems during the George W. Bush administration.
* John Klineberg - Former director of both NASA John H. Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., and former CEO of Loral Space Systems.
* Elliot Pulham - President and CEO of The Space Foundation.
