2. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT - FIRST GODDARD WORKSHOP ON SMALL SATELLITES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Steve Holt (SCIENCE@NSSDCA.GSFC.NASA.GOV)

At the suggestion of our Visiting Committee, the Space Sciences 
Directorate of the Goddard Space Flight Center will be sponsoring 
informal workshops on issues relevant to the conduct of space 
science.  These workshops are meant to promote the free exchange
of ideas and information among members of the total staff of the
GSFC (not just GSFC scientists) and the space science community.

In view of the imminent release of the next NASA solicitation for
Explorers, it seems appropriate to devote this first workshop to
the manner in which Explorer project management and operations 
should be performed in the future, for the benefit of Space 
Physics and Astrophysics, in particular.  The workshop will be 
conducted at the GSFC on Wednesday-Thursday, February 8-9, 1995.

This announcement is meant to alert you to the fact that the 
workshop is being planned to occur only seven weeks from now.  The 
next mailing, with detailed agenda and registration information, 
will be sent to those E-mail addresses sending any response at all 
to this message at the following E-mailbox:
