Events for November 2012

Ongoing National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) budget and travel restrictions (as outlined in the October 14th More Space Conferences News post "American Astronautical Society Cancels AAS National Conference") have affected, but certainly not eliminated US based space science, technology, engineering and mathematics conferences focused on NASA and other US government related work.
