Five main areas are targeted for discussion, including (1) PISCES, (2) commercial opportunities for the International Space Station (ISS), (3) the development of space-based (solar) power systems, and (4) the design and promotion of advanced satellites for communications and earth observation (to monitor global climate change) and (5) robotic precursor missions to our moon and Mars.

PISCES 2007 (November 7-10, 2007)
ALOHA!
The mission of PISCES is to develop new technologies that will enable humans to live on the Moon and beyond. It will feature a simulated lunar outpost on the Big Island, where research, technology development, educational programs, testing and astronaut training will be conducted in the lunar-like setting of Hawai`i’s volcanic terrain. PISCES is a partnership between the State of Hawai`i, industry, academia and the governments of Japan and the U.S., and is based at the University of Hawai`i at Hilo.
This conference was an excellent opportunity for researchers and educators from industry, academia and government, along with interested parties from Hilo, the Big Island, the State of Hawaii and the national and international space exploration and space commerce communities to learn what is planned for PISCES, take part in the discussions, and help steer its development for the maximum benefit of all the stakeholders and humankind.
