B -- COMMERCIAL SPACE OPPORTUNITIES STUDY (CSOS) DEBRIEF The Developmental Planning Directorate, Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC/XR), Los Angeles AFB invites industry members and others to an out-brief of the Commercial Space Opportunities Study (CSOS). For the past year AFMC/SMC and AFSPC have conducted the CSOS to investigate ways for the Air Force to exploit commercial opportunities in order to satisfy government space requirements. Along with the government, industry has been an active participant throughout the course of this effort. This Industry Day will be held on 28 October 1999 from 0730 through 1200, at the Fort MacArthur Community Center, Garden Room, 2400 Pacific Ave., Building 403, San Pedro, CA. The Space and Missile Systems Center's Vice-Commander will provide opening remarks.

Representatives from the following five CSOS panels will present their findings: Satellite Control, Navigation, Launch and Range, Remote Sensing, and Communication. In addition, SMC/XR will discuss the recently established Commercial Space Exploitation Office (CEPO). The results of CSOS will be provided to the CORONA meeting of USAF Generals in November 1999.
