Events
A Technology Briefing for Novel Polymers will be
held at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, on January
25, 2000, to present several licensing opportunities to interested
companies. NASA has a family of materials and processing techniques
poised to play in the emerging conductive and high-performance polymer
markets. NASA is looking for companies interested in developing
commercial products based on this family of technologies. For information
about registration, contact Susan Brown at (919) 541-7401 or e-mail
at seb@rti.org On the web, visit www.rti.org/technology/tbrief/signup.cfm
The 8th Canadian Microgravity Conference, Spacebound 2000,
is scheduled for May 14–18, 2000, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Held by the Space Science Program of the Canadian Space Agency,
Spacebound 2000 will offer each participant the opportunity to learn
from the experience of others, to interact with colleagues and to
initiate new undertakings that exploit the unique attributes of
the microgravity environment. Attendees will also understand how
the International Space Station will be useful for all people, especially
in materials and biomedical research. For more information, call
450/926-4764 or e-mail at spacebound@sp-agency.ca
Software
A new Multilingual Space Dictionary is available
for space programs. This dictionary contains thousands of key terms
necessary for communicating with counterparts overseas. The order
of languages can be altered at a keystroke, so the user can translate
any of the languages to any of the other languages. The Multilingual
Space Dictionary contains 2,596 rocketry and space terms in 15 languages.
This dictionary is the equivalent of dozens of bilingual dictionaries.
Diskettes are available from the National Audiovisual Center at
the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). For more information,
contact NTIS. Call 1-800-553-NTIS (6847) or (703) 605-6000, fax
to (703)605-6900, or order via e-mail at orders@ntis.fedworld.gov
You can also order on the web at http://www.ntis.gov/nac
