The pursuit of knowledge
doesn't wait for budgets to be approved or for individual projects to be completed,
nor
does it always move in a linear fashion. Science moves forward due to the efforts
of individuals and communities
of individuals, across generations and across time. Mars missions weren't built
in a day!
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Second Biennial Space Human Factors Workshop is to facilitate
communication among Space
Human Factors researchers, practitioners, managers, and customers.
WHO
SHOULD ATTEND?
A meeting of the Space Human Factors Science and Technical Working Group is
scheduled for January 25
immediately following the Workshop. The presence of this advisory group and
NASA managers at the Workshop,
as well as the presentation of all NASA-funded space human factors research
will afford the ideal opportunity for
the space human factors community to gather for formal and informal discussion.
We encourage principal
investigators to bring (at their own expense) their co-investigators and students.
FORMAT
The Workshop format will provide ample opportunity for informal discussions
among the participants. Presenters
(funded Space Human Factors NRA and Technology Development principal investigators)
are asked to make an
oral talk (maximum of 15 minutes) and a poster presentation; this format will
allow the Workshop audience to
engage in more thorough discussion with the presenters during the poster sessions.
Plenary presentations will
feature talks by
Dr. Charles Sheffield, an astrophysicist who is also a popular science fiction
author, and a
scientist-astronaut. In addition, we plan a tour of the NASA Johnson Space Center
facilities, including
Space Human Factors Laboratories.
PUBLICATIONS
Abstracts and slides will be posted to this web site. Please continue to check
this site for additional information
about these publications.
REGISTRATION
Though there is no registration fee, all attendees will be asked to submit a
response form indicating their interest in
participating in the workshop by November 14, 2001. Due to building space constraints,
the Workshop is limited to
80 participants.
