Integrated Systems Research Program Technical Sessions

January 4th and 6th, 2011
AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting (ASM)
Orlando, FL

As part of the 49th ASM being held at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida, the NASA Aeronautics Integrated Systems Research Program (ISRP) will host two technical sessions on January 4th and 6th.

During these sessions, key NASA aeronautics personnel will share their latest plans and research results from ISRP and the Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) Project with fellow technologists, interested experts, and groups from industry, academia, other federal agencies, and the international community.

The technical sessions provide an excellent opportunity to gain insight into the NASA aeronautics mission, as well as program and project details and to exchange viewpoints. Jaiwon Shin, associate administrator of the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, will be the introductory speaker.
