A year in orbit: ISS deployment tests radiation detectors for future space missions
The predawn darkness on a cool Florida night was shattered by the ignition of nine Merlin engines on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The thrust of the engines shook the ground miles away. From a distance, the rocket appeared to slowly rise above the horizon. For the cargo onboard, the launch was anything but gentle, as the ignition of liquid oxygen generated more than 1.5 million pounds of force. After the rocket had been out of sight for several minutes, the booster dramatically returned to Earth with several sonic booms in a captivating show of engineering designed to make space travel less expensive and more sustainable.

With the implementation of Hydrogen Production at hand here in the U.S. and the potential benefits to be derived in light of today’s environment, this session will provide a multi-faceted perspective of hydrogen production for potential implementation across the operating fleet. This panel will be prepared to discuss the opportunities & challenges facing sites considering such efforts as well as the status of current efforts on going here in the US, the lessons being learned in the process, and expectations for the near future. Planned perspectives include a diverse panel from near-term operating plant implementation, industry research, government research & support organizations. A brief update by each panel member will precede the panel discussion with the hope and expectation of driving informative dialogue.
