The FAA’s Commercial Space Transportation Conference, planned for February 7, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., and February 8, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Washington, D.C., is an opportunity for the media to gain insight into the exciting and challenging issues facing commercial space transportation, including new and emerging rocket technologies, potential future launch procedures, and human space travel.
