About ISDC® 2019
The Mission
The mission of ISDC® 2019 is connecting knowledge seekers of all backgrounds in the spirit of Space exploration, development, and discovery. If you’ve never attended an ISDC® 2019, always attend, or occasionally attend, the 38th annual ISDC® should not be missed!
Why Arlington, Virginia?
The Arlington Pentagon Sheraton is located on a hill with a beautiful view of Washington, D.C. NASA and many aerospace firms are headquartered in the D.C. area. Washington, D.C. is where decisions get made that impact national, global and outer space. NSS and ISDC® have an influence on space policy and D.C. provides direct access.
