NASA leadership, including Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, will participate in a workshop on space mobility and in-space servicing on Tuesday, Nov. 7, at the University of Maryland in College Park.<\/p>\n

Beginning at 8:30 a.m. EST, the Consortium for Space Mobility and ISAM Capabilities (COSMIC) workshop runs through Wednesday, Nov. 8. NASA announced the consortium in April<\/a>, aiming to create a nationwide aerospace community alliance that provides global leadership in space mobility and in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) for use in Earth orbit, lunar orbit, deep space, and on planetary surfaces.<\/p>\n

Following welcome remarks from Prasun Desai, acting associate administrator, Space Technology Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, Melroy will provide a keynote on NASA\u2019s support for ISAM.<\/p>\n

Other leaders from The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the U.S. Department of Defense, the defense and aerospace industry, and academia, also will participate. The conference features panel discussions and breakout workshops for COSMIC\u2019s three caucuses \u00ad\u2013 U.S. government, industry, and academia \u00ad\u2013 and the Consortium\u2019s five focus areas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Media interested in attending the opening day, either in person or virtually, should RSVP by 12 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 6, to Parker Wishik at 708-391-7806 or\u00a0parker.wishik@aero.org<\/a>. NASA and COSMIC experts will be available for interview opportunities upon request. Other COSMIC plenary sessions will be recorded and later published to the COSMIC YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NASA funds COSMIC, creating a nationwide alliance around the capability areas, and it will support the ISAM National Strategy<\/a> and National ISAM Implementation Plan<\/a>, released in 2022, which define a national approach to build on existing investments and emerging capabilities to realize future opportunities enabled by ISAM. The Consortium aims to accelerate ISAM\u2019s universal adoption and support its utilization as a routine part of space architectures and mission lifecycles. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Aerospace Corporation leads COSMIC as the management entity contracted by NASA\u2019s Space Technology Mission Directorate to ensure coordination among members, caucuses, and focus areas and to execute COSMIC initiative-focused events. \u00a0<\/p>\n
