SAT TC in Context

The Role of a TC (from AIAA Website)AIAA Technical Committees (TCs) bring together experts in their fields and given them the opportunity to exchange knowledge and get to know their colleagues from around the globe. These committees participate in numerous activities: they develop and administer over 20 technical conferences each year; conduct professional development courses, produce books, and work with K-12 students to promote an interest in engineering education. And that’s just the start. The TCs also honor technical leadership through Technical and Best Paper awards; serve as journal and book reviewers; formulate technology assessment packages for the non-technical public, and even develop and judge college student design contests.

utilizing them SPACE 2013 to feature panelists of the “runner up” museums/institutes Brad has offered SATTC’s help to support this panel as needed

• Other collaboration opportunities? Usual suspects are LAAATC and HISTTC but perhaps a joint session with Space

Colonization?

SCI TECH 2014 UpdateCurrent CFP DraftThe Society and Aerospace Technology Technical Committee examines societal benefits of aerospace technologies as well as the relationship between aerospace and society, culture, and the arts. Abstracts are solicited that address these and related issues. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:• Aerospace and terrorism• Aerospace and public safety• Astrosociology• Benefits and examples of aerospace technology spin-offs• Utilization of aerospace assets to address social problems• Space medicine and medical astrosociology• Group dynamics and societal institutions in isolated communities (space settlements,

Antarctica, etc.)• Discussion of aerospace topics and programs from the perspective of disciplines

such as psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology 17

SAT 2012 Highlights Article• Every year, each TC is apportioned

about a page in the December issue of Aerospace America to describe the most important developments and events that have occurred in its technical area over the past year.

• Please read and send comments on the draft by 6:00 PM Eastern tomorrow, Sept. 13.

• Send comments to Som Dutta (soumyo.dutta@gatech.edu), and CC Brad Steinfeldt (bsteinfeldt@gatech.edu) and Jarret Lafleur (jarret.m.lafleur@gmail.com)

18

Delta Forum Status• August 6 teleconference included representatives

from SATTC, HISTC, and SETC• The ETM Group will stand down the Delta Forum

for 2013 and 2014. ETM Group lacks manpower to effectively support the

New Event Model (NEM), CASE, and Delta Forum Possible overlap between the Delta Forum and the

larger New Horizons Forum held at ASM and Aviation. TCs free to organize Delta Forums, but not at expense

of NEM or CASE• Ideas for a regular SATTC panel session?
