Defining the Ideal Spaceport.• When you think of advanced spaceports such as

those in Star Wars, The Jetsons, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Star Trek:– What are the characteristics of the ideal spaceport?– What would the ideal spaceport “look like”?– What would the ideal spaceport provide or allow the

users to accomplish?

• Brainstorm, don’t think about specific technologies.• See input from ASTWG meeting for ideas

Converting the Vision to Objectives.

• From the vision, what specific objectives, performance criteria, or measures can we use to define where we are and where we want to be?
