Workshop Program

Workshop Details

Fee: Since this meeting is funded by the US Department of Defense, a workshop fee is necessary to offset the cost of food (lunch, coffee, and continental breakfast) provided at the meeting. Thus a $25.00 workshop fee per attendee will be charged. Payment can be made at the workshop by cash or check payable to the Center of Higher Learning. Alternatively, the check may be mailed in advance to Keri Hensarling.

Deadline: Registration deadline is Tuesday, 21 April 1998.

Location: The workshop will be located in room 107 at the Conference Center of Building 1100 at the Stennis Space Center. Maps of Stennis and environs can be found on the web at : http://www.nav.hpc.mil/pet/Visitor/visitor.html, which is a part of the NAVO PET home page.

Duration: The workshop will begin at 9:15 am on the 23 rd and 24 th, and will adjourn by 3:30 pm on the 24 th. There will be an informal workshop dinner on the 23 rd evening.

Security: The Stennis Space Center uses badges to control access to the facility, and visitors need temporary badges to be on-site. Thus, we need an accurate list of the workshop attendees to assure the availability of temporary badges on the mornings of the workshop. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you MUST have your passport with you in order to be allowed into the facility.

Travel Information

Hotel: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Slidell, Louisiana Ramada Inn for this workshop at the rate of $50 per night. Please call Ramada directly at (504) 643-9960 to reserve your room and say that you are with the "Stennis Tools Meeting."

Air Travel: The Stennis Space Center and the Slidell, Louisiana Ramada Inn are conveniently served by the New Orleans International Airport (MSY). We recommend flying into New Orleans, which is about 45 miles from the conference location (see map).

Ground Transportation: Due to its rocket engine testing mission, the Stennis Space Center is located on a large parcel of land that is poorly served by public transportation. However, those wishing not to rent a car can take the Coastliner, an airport shuttle service, from the New Orleans airport to the Ramada Inn for $22.00 one-way or $39.00 round trip. The Coastliner encourages reservations, and can be reached at (800) 647-3957.

There will be van service provided by the workshop between the Ramada Inn and Stennis on Thursday the 23 rd, and from the Ramada to Stennis in the morning of the 24 th, and to the New Orleans airport after the workshop adjourns in the early afternoon of the 24 th. In addition, on the evening of the 23 rd, the van will take participants requiring transportation to a Slidell restaurant for an informal workshop dinner. The van will leave Ramada at 8:00 am each morning for Stennis.
