The Aerospace Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers invites you to make plans to participate in our TENTH BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING, CONSTRUCTION, and OPERATIONS IN CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS.

At this Conference, you will be among experts from a variety of disciplines and have ample, enjoyable opportunities to discuss exploration, engineering, construction, and operations in challenging environments on Planet Earth, in Space, and on other planetary bodies such as the Moon and Mars. Technology transfer is a key goal of this Conference.

This year a special attraction is being added to the Earth & Space 2006 Conference. The 2nd NASA/ARO/ASCE Workshop on Granular Materials in Lunar and Martian Exploration will be held as an integral part of the Conference.
