NASA ANNOUNCES POSTING OF SPACE EXPLORATION WORKSHOP CHARTS

WASHINGTON -- Presentation charts for the opening-day briefings of
NASA's Exploration Enterprise Workshop in Galveston, Texas, will be
posted online at noon EDT, Monday, May 24.

The two-day workshop brings together a broad community of space
exploration stakeholders from government, industry and academia. The
Exploration Systems Mission Directorate's plans for human and robotic
space exploration and the administration's fiscal year 2011 budget
request for the agency will be discussed.

The charts represent a starting point that will be refined throughout
the summer and coming years. They capture the results of planning as
of May 25, but do not represent final plans. Any specific launch
dates and missions are likely to change to reflect the addition of
the Orion Emergency Rescue Vehicle, updated priorities, and new
information from NASA's partners.

The charts provide a basis for engagement with outside organizations,
including international entities, industry, academia and other
government agencies. Involving outside groups helps NASA make
informed decisions as program objectives and expectations are
established. To view workshop presentations, visit:
