Special Aerospace Services plans to host its first Commercial Human Spaceflight Technical Forum on January 12-14, the company announced Monday. The forum is being held in Boulder, Colorado, and will present a focused and concentrated technical agenda created for Commercial Human Spaceflight providers and NASA. Attendees will gain insight to techniques that will be required to successfully achieve the NASA human rating certification and FAA commercial spaceflight licensing.

Among the speakers already booked are recognized subject matter experts, including N. Wayne Hale Jr., Jeffrey Ashby, Timothy Bulk and Dr. Alan Stern.

"We are about to enter an exciting phase in human spaceflight," said Heather Bulk, CEO of Special Aerospace Services.
