[PSAS] [Amateur Radio Workshop] Meeting Time Change & Next Meeting

[Georges Oates Larsen]

Howdy, PSAS!

I've spoken with Glenn, and it would seem that Mondays from 12:00PM to 
1:00PM is going to be the best time possible for us to have Amateur 
Radio Workshop meetings from this point forward.



We've fallen quite off schedule, so it's time for a bit of a refresh:

Currently, there are only three chapters left for us to cover of the 
ARRL Ham Radio Manual! Those are chapters 7, 8, and 9. That means, we'll 
be having reading-oriented meetings for the next three weeks.


After that, we're going to enter into a three week period of exam 
question practice. The objective will simply be to pick and answer 
random questions from the Amateur Radio License Exams.


Some time soon after that, we'll pick a date to "walk-pool" as Andrew so 
gracefully put it to an exam center and have an exam party!


Our next meeting is going to be tomorrow (Monday the 15th) at 12:00PM. 
We'll be covering Chapter 7 of the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 
 
since we've been so rocky the past few weeks. Next week, I promise, 
we'll move on to Chapter 8.


We record meetings! It's a bit scant right now, but recordings can be 
found here:https://goo.gl/Y4AuAG 


And, of course, if you want to join us, but can't come in person, I 
invite you to join remotely at the PSAS Google Hangout:

License, please take a look at the following links:

I hope to see you guys tomorrow!

[PSAS] NASA lecture here on human exploration of deep space, Monday 10/29

[Andrew Greenberg]

Hi everyone!

Dr. Weislogel is bringing a NASA lecturer in to PSU in a few weeks.
Poster attached, and here's the info:



Dr. Paul McConnaughey from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center will
present "The Future of Deep Space Human Exploration" on Monday, October
29th from 1:30pm - 3:00pm at PSU's Karl Miller Center (KMC) room 180.

Why explore deep space? And what technologies will it take to get there?
Dr. Paul McConnaughey, associate director, technical, at NASA’s Marshall
Space Flight Center will discuss the importance of engineering advanced
technologies to journey to deep space – to cislunar, the Moon, Mars and
beyond. From the evolvable heavy-lift capability of the Space Launch
System to cutting edge lander propulsion technology, the journey to deep
space will require innovation and the next generation STEM workforce to
be successful.

See you there!

Andrew
