Approach And Landing Test Vehicle, CST-100 Mock-Up Among
Products On Display
Boeing plans to spotlight its satellites, human spaceflight
activities and network-enhanced technologies at the Space
Foundation's 27th National Space Symposium.
“The National Space Symposium gives Boeing the opportunity
to showcase our strengths in developing and delivering innovative
space and satellite capabilities,” said Roger Krone,
president of the Network and Space Systems business unit of Boeing
Defense, Space & Security. "Our business is focused on bringing
NASA, the Department of Defense and our commercial partners new,
cost-effective capabilities for their spaceflight and satellite
communication missions.”
The Boeing exhibit will showcase the company’s support for
military and commercial satellite operations and the International
Space Station, as well as its development of space exploration
vehicles and unmanned capabilities. The centerpiece of this
year’s exhibit is a 3-D, interactive satellite demonstration
in which users can explore Boeing’s modeling and simulation
capabilities in different satellite environments.
X-37B
This year Boeing will debut its first outdoor display of
innovative space equipment. The Approach and Landing Test Vehicle,
which preceded the United States’ first unmanned vehicle to
return from space and land on its own, the X-37B, will be on
display in front of the Boeing Exhibit Center North. In addition, a
mock-up of Boeing’s Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100
spacecraft and a pressurized structure of the crew module will be
on display in the new Boeing Exhibit Center Showroom, located east
of the Boeing Exhibit Center South.
This year's event takes place April 11-14 at The Broadmoor Hotel
in Colorado Springs. Boeing also will participate in the symposium
speaking agenda. Krone will be a panelist in the Industrial Base
Mega Session on April 12 at 1420. He will share his perspective on
the economic and efficiency challenges facing space and defense
industry partners and offer ideas on how to implement solutions.
Also on April 12, Brewster Shaw, vice president and general manager
of Boeing Space Exploration, will join other former space shuttle
commanders in the Shuttle Commanders Forum at 1600 local time.
