Industry Creates the Next Generation of Space Flight
As part of NASA’s transformation, industry contractors will provide flight capability for space exploration – manned and unmanned. Leading the way in developing the first “next generation” of flight for space exploration is the Orion Program. Now the program’s leader will open the pages of this global-sized effort to speak about building a global partnership, shifting responsibilities and people into a non-NASA world. Leading the session will be Dr. Michael Hawes, Orion program manager, Lockheed Martin Space Systems.
