1. Space Technology and Applications International Forum -1999 (United States)

These proceedings represent papers presented at the 1999 Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF{minus}99). This is a large conference in terms of the number of hosted technical sessions and the technical papers presented. This year`s theme, ``Opportunities and Challenges for the New Millenium,`` covered a broad spectrum of topics in space science and technology that spans the range from basic research, such as thermophysics in microgravity and breakthrough propulsion physics, to the most recent advances in space power and propulsion, space exploration and commercialization, next generation launch systems, and the international effort to deploy and assemble the international space station. STAIF{minus}99 was co{minus}sponsored by the United States Department of Energy. The two{minus}volume proceedings includes 253 articles, out of which 28 have been abstracted for the Energy,Science and Technology database.(AIP)
