President Albrecht Welcomes "Space Fliers"
For the first time in more than a decade an elite group met recently in Utah. Gathering for the Association of Space Explorers XIX Planetary Congress, the world’s “Space Fliers” met at a conference in Salt Lake City. A trip to the Space Dynamics Laboratory at Utah State University was part of conference activities.
President Stan Albrecht welcomed the group as it met at SDL for a technical session. Several of the Russian cosmonauts at the conference have had contact with, or worked on, SDL’s growth chamber.
The Association of Space Explorers is an organization of more than 250 astronauts and cosmonauts from 29 nations who have orbited the globe. This prestigious organization met to discuss the future of space flight, technical improvements and space science’s impact on life today.
The theme of the conference was “Our Destiny in Space: Worlds Without Borders.” The organization’s distinguished astronauts and cosmonauts served as ambassadors for space flight and engineering, making in-person visits to every school district in the state.
