Constellation-X FST Meeting February 21/22 in Boulder
The next Constellation-X Facility Science Team meeting will be Feb 21/22, 2008 in Boulder, CO, at the Boulderado hotel. This meeting is open to the the scientific community, industry and other interested parties. We anticipate starting the FST meeting on the 21st at 9am. The morning will be devoted to technical and programmatic talks and discussions. The afternoon and all of the 22nd will be devoted to talks by the chairs of the science panels and discussion of plans for the upcoming decadal survey. We anticipate adjourning at approximately 4pm on the 22nd. A detailed agenda is under development and will be posted at http://conx.gsfc.nasa.gov when it is available.
It is time to book your travel and hotel ASAP - because the week of the February FST meeting is popular in the Denver area since it is school vacation (= skiing) week for many in the US. Hotel rooms are held at the reduced rate only until Jan 21.
Everyone interested in attending can book their own room at the Boulderado by contacting the hotel directly (1 800 433 4344) and referencing SAO and BID 1933, which will get you the reduced rate of $139 that we have arranged with the hotel. Further details re the Hotel are included below.
If you are planning on attending this meeting, please let us know via e-mail before Jan 21 to Mike Garcia AND Sandy Barnes so that we may plan room space and breaks accordingly:
