The goals are to identify the critical need and technologies for spacecraft of the 21st century, and to recommend technology development and validation programs and possible government/industrial roles and partnerships. The objectives of the workshop are to increase awareness and exchange ideas among participants, highlight the spacecraft as a focal point for technology, and facilitate industry-government coordination
