These proceedings represent papers presented at the Space Technology and Applications International Forum {minus} 1998. This Forum consisted of six hosted conferences covering a broad spectrum of space science and technology. The technology spanned from basic research, such as thermophysics in microgravity and breakthrough physics for propulsion, to the most recent advances in space power and propulsion, space exploration and commercialization, and next generation launch systems. The Forum provided opportunity for professional interaction among academia, industry, and government. Program managers and developers of space technologies in the United States and abroad got together to exchange ideas. There was an emphasis on international participation and collaboration. The theme for the 1998 Forum was ``Progress in expanding the space frontier.`` There were four plenary sessions on ``View of the future.`` There were 340 presentations altogether; 255 papers are included in these proceedings, out of which 31 have been abstracted for the Energy, Science and Technology database.(AIP)
