The Symposium will be a unique opportunity to discuss and debate, from very different viewpoints, all the key common issues shared by the space transportation sector in the coming years and draw conclusions about future directions and trends.

Three unique features will underscore this year's Symposium. First, it will provide an in-depth overview and discussion of the full range of commercial, policy and regulatory issues impacting the development of space transportation.

Second, it will bring together representatives from developers, providers and operators of space transportation systems; regulatory bodies; users of the space transportation infrastructure, including users in emerging application fields such as remote sensing and tourism; the finance and insurance sectors, as well as independent experts in policy and market analysis.

Third, through the unique outreach of ISU, the broad range of players involved in the launch industry can benefit from quality interactions with industry leaders that is essential to further cultivate opportunities, develop new partnership prospects and enhance corporate profile.

To help the discussions and initiate the debates, the following issues will be considered during the Symposium sessions:

• The needs of future markets - from the users' and the launch service providers' perspectives;
• The proper mix between reusable and expendable space transportation systems in the future launch market, and the direction the technology is headed towards;
• The changes needed in the legal frameworks;
• The appropriate roles of government in future space transportation systems.

ISU Symposia have already established a reputation for encouraging quality discussions and debates on fundamental issues facing the space sector.

This year's Symposium will build on that record and strive to answer the most daring question in the field of access to space: Is the space transportation market in evolution or a revolution? We look forward to hearing your opinion!

Dr. Yoshinori Fujimori is the Program Committee Chair
for the 5th ISU Annual International Symposium.

Satellite Launch To Boost DTH In India
Calcutta, India (SPX) Dec 28, 2005
The successful launch Thursday of India's heaviest satellite from spaceport of Kourou in French Guyana may have boosted the country's space research efforts to yet another level, but it has also lifted the spirits of at least three Direct-To-Home televisions broadcasters, one of which has been waiting for years to launch its services in India.
