Lunar and Planetary Science Conference
The Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC), jointly sponsored by the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) and NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC), brings together international specialists in petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, geology and astronomy to present the latest results of research in planetary science. Since its beginning in 1970, the LPSC has been a significant focal point for planetary science research, with more than 1700 planetary scientists and students attending from all over the world.
==History==
In a speech delivered at the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) in Houston, Texas in March 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced the formation of the Lunar Science Institute (LSI).〔Maloney, Jim (March 2, 1968). LBJ Visits MSC, Tells of Lunar Institute Aims. Houston Post, p. 1〕 The creation of the LSI was the culmination of meetings and events involving the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Academy of Science, Universities Research Association and several major universities. Initially operated by the National Academy of Sciences, the Universities Space Research Association took over the management of the Lunar Science Institute on December 11, 1969.〔Cummings, W. David (2009). ''A Documentary History of the Formation of USRA, Universities Space Research Association'', Columbia, MD〕
A program of visiting university-based scientists was established, the first symposium was organized, and the first lecture of the LSI seminar series was presented. The first science conference, known as the Apollo 11 Lunar Science Conference, was held in Houston from January 5–8, 1970. During the early days of the Apollo Program, meetings focused on the study of the lunar samples. In 1978, the name of the conference was changed from the Lunar Science Conference to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference〔(45th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference )〕 to reflect the expanded scope of research that included planetary science. After four decades, this conference continues to draw planetary scientists and researchers from around the world.
The conference has been held every year since 1970. The first three were held in January, and each from 1973 on have been held in March. The most recent conference was held March 16-20, 2015 in The Woodlands, Texas, 31 miles north of Houston, Texas. The first 13 conferences were titled ''Lunar Science Conference'', and the name changed to the current ''Lunar and Planetary Science Conference'' in 1978.〔(LPI 40th Anniversary )〕
