The National Security Space Office (NSSO) and Headquarters, Air Force Security Forces Center (HQ AFSFC) co-hosted a technology forum on Suborbital Missions and the Small Unit Space Transport and Insertion (SUSTAIN) Concept at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, from 24 – 26 February 2009.
This technology forum was open to all industry, government,
and military interested in assisting the NSSO in the development of
a technology roadmap for SUSTAIN and other suborbital and point-to-point
(P2P) missions.
A Request for Information
was released to identify near-term industry solutions that could
provide the Department of Defense (DoD) the capability to rapidly deliver
military capabilities via space, and long-term advanced space transport
concepts that could evolve from near-term capabilities. Responses were
due 15 Mar 09.
