[SatNews] “Business at the Speed of Innovation” is this year's theme.

Panel discussions and exhibits will drive the International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight (ISPCS) 2011, which will spotlight “Business at the Speed of Innovation” to underscore how technical advances are driving the success of companies in the commercial space industry. “The early pioneers of the space industry had the confidence and the trust to share their ideas with others so that launch and vehicle technology could develop as quickly as possible,” said Patricia Hynes, ISPCS Chair. “The aerospace industry will continue to grow not only from patented technologies, but also from the collegiality and the shared trust of those working in the business. Come to ISPCS and speed up the commercial space industry by sharing your ideas.” ISPCS 2011, will be held October 19-20 during Space Week in New Mexico. ISPCS is organized by the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium, a member of the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, administered by NASA.
