NASA's Marshall Center to host Sensor Workshop in spring 2003
More than 200 propulsion sensor development engineers are expected to gather in Huntsville, Ala., next spring for the three-day Propulsion Measurement Sensor Development Workshop, showcasing advanced propulsion sensor technologies for 21st century space transportation. Event coordinators at the Marshall Center currently are seeking presentation abstracts, which are due Dec. 20.

The three-day workshop -- to be held in Huntsville May 13-15, 2003 -- will showcase advanced propulsion sensor technologies for 21st century space transportation. The event is expected to draw sensor technologists and propulsion researchers from NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, other Government agencies and American industry and academia.
Sensors are used by aerospace technologists to monitor engines and propulsion systems during development, testing and operations. In applications that involve high temperatures or other extreme environments, internal measurements cannot be taken directly, so researchers rely on sensors to deduce critical information.
About the Marshall Center
The Marshall Center is carrying out NASA's vision of being the world leader in space transportation systems. With its rich history spanning more than four decades, Marshall remains one of NASA's largest field centers, occupying over 1,800 acres and employing more than 2,700 civil servants. More than 23,000 contractor personnel are engaged in work for the Center, which has an annual budget of more than $2.3 billion.
