Space development is an integral part of Australia's future and to seize this challenge the space community must confront a variety of issues, and appreciate the diversity of space development opportunities which exist. It is our hope that in presenting a multi-disciplinary view of the space industry we will help to establish a broader based and better prepared Australian space industry. Trade Exhibition A trade exhibition, supported by the Australian Space Office, will be run as part of the Conference. The exhibition will offer delegates and the public the opportunity to learn more of Australia's space capabilities first hand. I believe that the Conference will be an opportunity not to be missed and I look forward to welcoming you to the 1990 Australian Space Development Conference. Mr Kirby Ikin Chairman AUSTRALIAN SPACE OFFICE SUPPORT The Australian Space Office is pleased to endorse the 1990 Australian Space Development Conference and congratulates the National Space Society for its initiative in organising this Conference and trade exhibition. I believe the Conference Program brings an international focus to the space industry within Australia and to space projects of National significance. The organisers have brought together an impressive complement of speakers. The Trade Exhibition provides a unique opportunity, within Australia, for those industries and organisations with space interests to demonstrate their involvement to the indistry and general public. The 1990 Australian Space Development Conference and trade exhibition deserves wide support and patronage, and accordingly, I commend your participation. Dr B.S. Middleton Executive Director Australian Space Office.
