PLCS TC Face-to-Face (Oct/Nov) 06

Title: PLCS TC Face-to-Face (Oct/Nov) 06

All,

We are proceeding forward with the initial planning for a PLCS TC Face-to-Face meeting held in conjunction with (just after), the TC184/SC4 meeting in Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA.  The location will be here in Sunny Huntsville, Alabama.   The tentative dates are 31 Oct - 1 Nov 2006.  We're looking at a couple locations here on Redstone Arsenal (Officers Club or Rustic Lodge), and off site as well incase non-US nationals on post becomes too difficult to overcome (we believe we can overcome all issues).

For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville is 'birthplace' and Home of the US Space and Rocket Center where the former German scientist Dr. Werner Von Braun and his team of Scientists, pioneered the US Space program.  Most of the Engineering and Rocket Science that led to the development of Rockets such as the Saturn V rocket, was done right here in the deep south amid the Alabama cotton fields.   There is a rich history and many Space Artifacts here at Redstone, (including the only standing (vertical) Saturn V rocket) as well as many ongoing projects related to space, missiles, and aviation.

We are looking forward to hosting this meeting, and will provide more details as they become available. 

Please keep us advised of any schedule changes.
