Welcome to the most inspiring meeting you’ll attend all year
What is ISU? What is CFISU? What do you learn? Who do you meet? What do you see? Why should you go? Where will it bring you?

ISU’s Philosophy
World space activities have become increasingly international in nature.
New skills need to be developed and enhanced in order to manage the engineering, economic, political and organisational aspects of space programmes.
Space professionals of the future need a very broad base of knowledge in order for space programmes to succeed and grow.

ISU History and Founding Founded by Todd Hawley, Bob Richards, Peter Diamandis
in 1987. First Summer Session in 1988 (MIT). SSP is in a different
city each year 6 in Europe (89, 91, 94, 95, 96, 01) 5 in USA (88, 93, 97, 98, 02) 1 in Canada (90) + proposal for Vancouver in 2005 2 in Asia (91, 99) SSP 2000 in Chile - first time in South America SSP 2004 in Adelaide - first time in Australia
MSS centred in Strasbourg since 1995
