to participate in the 2008 Responsive Access to Space Technology Exchange (RASTE), May 19-23 in Dayton, Ohio at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The 2008 Responsive Access to Space Technology Exchange (RASTE) brings key members of the space community together providing opportunity to share, exchange and transition technology to be used in the next generation space launch vehicles. By establishing and fostering this open exchange of information between engineers, developers, planners, and managers in the community, RASTE promotes collaboration accelerating the development of the emerging commercial space launch industry.

RASTE Forum Format

The RASTE targets technologies that will be ready for transition within the next two years (Technology Readiness Level (TRL) for the technology is 4 to 6). Commencing with a Plenary Session open to all attendees, followed by
