Summary

Joe Anselmo has been Editorial Director of the Aviation Week Network and Editor-in-Chief of Aviation Week & Space Technology since 2013. Based in Washington, D.C., he directs a team of more than two dozen aerospace journalists across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.

He has won three Aerospace Journalist of the Year awards. A graduate of Ohio University, he was elected three times to the National Press Club’s Board of Governors, including one term as board chairman.

Staying within a budget used to be something of a joke at NASA. In 1992, a congressional study found spacecraft development cost overruns averaging 75%. But today, under shrinking overall funding and Administrator Daniel S. Goldin's ``better, faster, cheaper'' regime, living within one's means is deadly serious business for NASA projects. So it's little surprise that the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (Near) has emerged as the poster child of the Discovery program before it has even left the ground.

Commercial remote sensing data from France's Spot Image are helping provide U.S. Air Force pilots with simulated 3-D imagery that allows them to conduct real-time practice ``flyovers'' of Bosnia. 20 The images were created by taking unclassified 10-meter Spot data and fusing them with high resolution digital elevation data and precise ground points provided by the Defense Mapping Agency.

The U.S. and Russia have concluded a deal increasing Moscow's access to the commercial space launch market and reached agreement in principle to ensure on-time delivery of key Russian components to the international space station. The launch agreement allows Russia to orbit at least 16 and as many as 20 commercial geosynchronous payloads through the end of 2000, depending on launch market conditions. That's well above the nine launches Russia had been limited to under a 1993 agreement and similar to launch quotas given to China and Ukraine.
