International Space Station National Lab cancels upcoming ISS Research and Development Conference .

Announcement comes as NASA proposes scaling back its use of the ISS , citing budget pressures.

The Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC ) also put into question the future of LPSC.

The conference dates back to 1970 to discuss science from the Apollo 11 mission.

The news has alarmed many planetary scientists, who consider LPSC as one of the major events in the field.

The conference has attracted more than 2,000 people in recent years .

Concerns are how to make up the NASA funding that had traditionally supported the conference.

LPI , in a June 5 statement, said it would run LPSc next year on its own.
