7RationaleWhy A Space Exploration Program
Committee was Formed
- US and International space programs are embarking
on a new, long-term emphasis on more ambitious
exploration programs - Exploration research, technology, systems and
infrastructures and ambitious future human and
robotic exploration missions using them are a
topic of intense interest within the aerospace
community. No inter-TC/inter-disciplinary forum
existed within the AIAA for space exploration to
promote - General knowledge and awareness of exploration
programs - Understanding of relevant research and technology
developments - Understanding and coordination of mission studies
and plans - Inter-disciplinary interactions and activities
- Moreover, due to their nature exploration
programs and missions pose unique policy,
management and international challenges above and
beyond the technical challenges that might be
expected from most large-scale space engineering
programs. - In order to move forward effectively, and better
engage the full breadth of the aerospace
community, a new AIAA Space Exploration Program
Committee was needed.
8Space Exploration Program CommitteeDRAFT --
Charter -- DRAFT
- The American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics (AIAA) Space Exploration Program
Committee brings together experts on a wide range
of topics relevant to future human and robotic
space exploration programs. - This Program Committee serves as the AIAA focal
point for emerging programs in support of space
exploration and the Vision for Space Exploration
in the aerospace industry, and keeps AIAA
informed of progress and new developments. - The Space Exploration PC integrates related
Technical Committees (TCs) to ensure that all of
the program areas are represented. - The Program Committee has a finite life, related
to its particular programs, which is currently
projected to be six (6) years (with an initial
review of the Space Exploration PC by the AIAA
New Initiatives Subcommittee (NIS) at the end of
three (3) years. - Space Exploration Program Committee activities
are similar to those of related Technical
Committees, and include all aspects of AIAA,
including conferences, public policy, education,
standards, and international activities.

17General DiscussionSpace Exploration - Program
Issues and Topics
- Space Exploration Programmatics
- 2007-2011 Program Content - human and robotic
(not just precursors) - 2006-2007 Budgets
- E.g., what about the impact of a recission in FY
2006? - E.g., what about congressional constraints /
limits on program content and inter-program
flexibility) - Small / entrepreneurial / non-Conventional Space
Exploration Programs - E.g., space tourism -- (NOTE need to coordinated
carefully with SCTC!) // but DO NOT expand scope
inappropriately - Role(s) of internationals in Exploration
programs, and issues - Need for a broad picture of the international
programmatics - Need to look at goals and objectives,
commonality, interoperability, etc. - Need to treat the issue of engendering
international collaboration on space
exploration--particularly in the collaborating
with US government programs must consider ITAR
issues - Standards - including both US and international
standards (option) - Need to consider standards across other agencies
- Special Programmatic Topics
- Organizational considerations CEV status, ISS
utilization for exploration, etc.
18General DiscussionSpace Exploration - Program
Issues and Topics
- Space Exploration Policy Positions and/or
Considerations - Ranging across diverse topics--but must be
inter-disciplinary and/or mission/program level - Particular question programmatic flexibility /
responsiveness - Candidate Human / Robotic Exploration Surface
Activities - Moon, Mars, elsewhere?
- Specific Concept Lunar and Mars science/research
Labs - Various particular topics for example hardware
approaches (What Class -- Pre-integrated, some
assembly required, versus local fabrication) - Need additional conversation and inputs Key
Question Why? - Candidate Synthesis of Human and Robotic Systems
and Plans - Robotic to Robotic/Humanoid to Human-Tended to ,
etc. - Strategic Time Horizons
- System Acquisition versus Operations
- Technology for Space Exploration
- Needs, programs and gaps
- Strategic -- not just near-term (what I want to
build next) - Opportunities for cross-pollination, etc. --
including non-aerospace sources of technology and
systems - Questions are technology from whom and for what
(e.g., DOD space to civilian space) must
consider international factors in this as well

29AIAA Program Committees
- AIAAs Program Committees (PCs) bring together
experts on specific programs. These committees
serve as focal points for leading edge or
emerging programs in the aerospace industry, and
keep AIAA informed of progress and new
developments. - The PCs integrate related Technical Committees
(TCs) to ensure that all of the program areas are
represented. - PCs have a finite life, related to their
particular program, which could range from one
year to twenty or more. - PC activities are similar to those of TCs, and
include all aspects of AIAA, including
conferences, public policy, education, standards,
and international activities. - Current AIAA PCs include
- Aerospace Traffic Management Program Committee
- Energy Optimized Aircraft and Equipment Systems
PC - Gossamer Spacecraft Program Committee
- Hypersonic Technologies and Aerospace Planes
(HyTASP) PC - Netcentric Operations Program Committee
- Reusable Launch Vehicles Program Committee
- Space Exploration Program Committee
- Space Station Program Committee
- Unmanned Systems Program Committee (UAVs)
30AIAA Technical Committees
- AIAA Technical Committees (TCs) bring together
experts in their fields and given them the
opportunity to exchange knowledge and get to know
their colleagues from around the globe. - These committees participate in numerous
activities they develop and administer over 20
technical conferences each year conduct
professional development courses, produce books,
and work with K-12 students to promote an
interest in engineering education. - The TCs also honor technical leadership through
Technical and Best Paper awards serve as journal
and book reviewers formulate technology
assessment packages for the non-technical public,
and even develop and judge college student design
contests. - Some 66 TCs are organized into 7 groups
