Event Details

Join us at the Crow’s Nest Preserve for our monthly club meeting.

Our speaker this month will be John Conrad, our NASA/JPL Ambassador.

The second of two talks completing everything you need to know about ‘rocket science.’ From a historical and insider’s perspective, you’ll understand how and why satellites orbit where they do – with just enough about Newton and Kepler and their laws to feel superior to the average layperson. Furthermore, we’ll cover the way spacecraft function, from the smallest and simplest to the largest and most complex – with even a bit about the new revolution in nanosatellites to understand what’s coming!

PLUS, Karl’s Galaxies for Observing in the April Dark Window.
