With keynote speaker Astronaut and Former NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. Selected by NASA as an Astronaut in 1980, Bolden flew four space shuttle missions between 1986 and 1994, including two as mission commander. His missions supported satellite deployment, scientific experimentation and collaboration with international partners aboard Spacelab. Notably, he commanded the first joint U.S.–Japan shuttle mission and was pilot for STS-31, which deployed the Hubble Space Telescope—one of NASA’s most significant scientific instruments.
