Focus on national security space at upcoming
Strategic Space 2005
The Space Foundation, Space News and United States Strategic Command are gearing up to present the Strategic Space 2005 conference, scheduled 4-6 October 2005, in Omaha, Neb. The third Strategic Space will support America's strategic forces and focus on the Command’s space and strategic missions. Senior leadership of U.S. Strategic Command, appropriate component and supported commands, the aerospace contractor community, federal officials and other leaders will address the dialogue started in 2003 and continued in 2004.
In its inaugural year, Strategic Space featured key Command leadership and industry heavies presenting to a sold-out crowd. Due to space limitations, last year’s Strategic Space was relocated to the new Qwest Center Omaha Convention Center and Arena. Continuing at this impressive venue, conference officials promise an even bigger and better event in 2005 with an expanded program, an all-new and larger exhibit center, key speakers and more networking opportunities.
