   The Space Studies Institute will be hosting a track at the 2006   
   International Space Development Conference in LA, and would like to issue a   
   call for papers to all interested researchers.  The Proceedings will appear   
   as Volume 14 in the SSI series, "Space Manufacturing and Space Settlement".   
      
   This year's ISDC will be May 4-7 at the Sheraton Gateway in Los Angeles.   
      
   Session topics include the following:   
      
   Earth to orbit and deep space transportation   
   Robotics and assembly in space   
   Economics   
   Legal and international considerations   
   Space solar power   
   Space tourism and space hotels   
   Nonterrestrial resources: the Moon and asteroids   
   Closed environment life-support systems   
   Space manufacturing processes   
      
   Anyone wishing to contribute a paper can reach me at the above (munged)   
   address.
