These proceedings represent the papers presented at the Second Space Technology and Applications International Forum held in January, 1997 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This forum was co{minus}sponsored by the United State Department of Energy. The forum covered a wide range of topics concerning the commercial development of space technology. Several conferences were hosted at the forum including the following: Future Space Science & Earth Science Missions; Synergistic Power & Propulsion Systems Technology; Applications of Thermophysics in Microgravity; Commercial Development of Space; Next Generation Launch Systems Technology; and Space Nuclear Power and Propulsion. These proceedings are published in three parts covering all the above mentioned topics. There were 238 papers presented at the forum and 155 are abstracted for the Energy Science and Technology database.(AIP)
