Moving Forward
The second Ultra Long Duration Ballooning Technology Workshop will be held November 12–13, 1998, at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The two primary objectives of the workshop are to identify the types of technology needed to support very long-duration balloon science missions and to identify, for the commercial technology providers, what sources of funding are available to build these technologies and how to access these funds successfully. For more information, contact Dr. Jack Tueller at 301/286-4678 or tueller@gsfc.nasa.gov, or visit our web site at http://lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/balloon/ULDB WorkshopGenInfo.html

Inspection98 will be held October 14–16, 1998, at NASA's Johnson Space Center to expand the opportunities for using NASA-developed technologies to solve problems on Earth and to identify areas in which collaborative work would provide better approaches for all partners. More than 200 technology presentations and exhibits in up to 20 different facilities will be showcased by experts in engineering, science and technology transfer. For more information, call 281/244-1316, e-mail inspection@jsc.nasa.gov. or visit http://inspection.jsc.nasa.gov
"Turning Goals Into Reality," a one-day seminar about the goals and highlights of economic and social benefits of sustained U.S. leadership in aviation and space with conference sessions, will be held October 9, 1998, at NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Progress on the Aeronautics and Space Transportation Technology Enterprise program will be reported. Programs and topics will be organized for three main audiences—education/K–12, industry/university, and the public. For more information, visit http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/aero/conf98
