<caption>The General Role of Government in Encouraging Space Industry Applications</caption><descr>Governments around the world implement policies, conduct procurements, and employ other methods to create a strong business community, based on emerging as well as mature industries and industry sectors. These actions may target different types of risks (e.g., technical or market risk), with the ultimate goal of meeting the needs or goals of one or more different government organizations, not just the national space agencies. This session will provide descriptions and updates of how the various government programs and activities are being employed to encourage space industry applications for the benefit of citizens.</descr><Date>2011-10-04 10:00</Date><Room>TS-09</Room></row> </resultset> <resultset> <row><hello>Mr.</hello><first>Douglas</first><last>Comstock</last><company>National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)</company><country>United States</country><func>ipc.chairman</func><function>Chair</function></row> <row><hello>Mrs.</hello><first>Aude</first><last>de Clercq</last><company>European Space Agency (ESA)</company><country>The Netherlands</country><func>ipc.chairman</func><function>Chair</function></row> <row><hello>Mr.</hello><first>Ken</first><last>Davidian</last><company>Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA/AST)</company><country>United States</country><func>ipc.rapporteur</func><function>Rapporteur</function></row> </resultset> <resultset> <row><id>9313</id><sequence>1</sequence><revise>confirmed</revise><Mode/><title>NEREUS: the Network of European REgions Using Space technologies
