Contractors And Small Businesses Invited To Participate In SLS
Industry Day
NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver, agency procurement
officials, and Space Launch System Program managers will meet with
contractors and small business entrepreneurs September 29 for the
Space Launch System Industry Day at the Davidson Center for Space
Exploration in Huntsville, AL. NASA will brief industry
representatives on the agency's acquisition strategy for the Space
Launch System program and provide an overview of the program, its
organization and specific vehicle requirements.
The presentation takes place from 0755 to 1215 CDT during the
Marshall Space Flight Center's quarterly Small Business Alliance
Meeting. It will provide small business leaders a forum to discuss
opportunities with representatives of NASA and large prime
contractors.
Marshall is leading design and development of the Space Launch
System for NASA. The new heavy-lift launch vehicle will take
astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit and enable new exploration
missions across the solar system. The first full-scale SLS test
flight is targeted for 2017.
NASA Industry Day speakers will include Garver; Marshall Center
Director Robert Lightfoot; Glenn Delgado, associate administrator
of NASA's Office of Small Business Programs in Washington; Todd
May, director of NASA's Space Launch System Program Office; Kim
Whitson, deputy director of Marshall's Office of Procurement; and
Earl Pendley, manager of the Space Transportation Support Office in
Marshall's Office of Procurement.
