| Abstract: | The National Space Meeting was held at the Gold Key Inn, Orlando, Fla., 15-16 March 1972. It had been planned to hold the meeting to permit those desiring to do so to attend the meeting and then witness the Apollo launch originally scheduled for the day following the meeting, but a one month’s postponement of the launch left us with only Disney World as an added attraction. The meeting opened with remarks by Dr. Edgar M. Cortright, Director of the Langley Research Center, who was General Chairman of the meeting. On 15 March Dr. Clarence Gates, JPL, Chaird Session I on DEEP SPACE and Dr. J.E. Potter, MIT, Chaired Session II on NAVIGATION TECHNOLOGY. The luncheon Speakers were Cadets 1c J.H.
