WASHINGTON -- NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Symposium 
will be held March 27-29 at the Westin Pasadena Hotel, 191 North Los

concepts that may lead to advanced and innovative space technologies 
critical for NASA to enable missions 10 to 100 years from today. 

Panel topics during the symposium include space debris elimination, 
fission fragment rocket engine propelled spacecraft, and the 
potential for ambient plasma wave propulsion systems.
