http://www.unm.edu/~isnps/staif/ (STAIF) is a major international technical forum hosting six concurrent conferences is organized by the University of New Mexico's Institute for Space and Nuclear Power Studies (UNM-ISNPS). This forum promotes international participation and provides for a timely exchange of information among technologists, academicians, industrialists, and program managers on technical and programmatic issues related to inexpensive access to space and space commercialization, exploration, and the potential for performing scientific research and developing new technologies. STAIF is highly attended by high-level representatives from industry, government agencies, and institutes of higher education, both nationally and internationally and co-sponsored by several professional engineering societies.

Proceedings of STAIF-2005 will be published by the American Institute of Physics. Meeting registration fee includes a copy of the proceedings on CD-ROM. A hardcover printed version will also be available to attendees at a discount during the conference.

Wow, this conference sounds really interesting and informative! I am particularly interested in the Symposium on Space Colonization and the Symposium on New Frontiers and Future Concepts. It's great that this conference promotes international participation and facilitates the exchange of information among various professionals in the field. I am also impressed that it is co-sponsored by multiple engineering societies. The fact that the proceedings will be published by the American Institute of Physics is also a testament to the quality of this conference. I will definitely look into attending and purchasing a copy of the proceedings. Thank you for sharing this information!
