Hi all,
I am looking for a couple of additional volunteers to help me, and a few others to describe and demonstrate Amateur Radio in Space at a public STEM event called "Moon Day" at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas, TX on Saturday, July 16. Many different space exploration and astronomy exhibitors wil be there as well as well as many interesting seminars for the public, including a talk by Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise. More information is available at https://www.flightmuseum.com/moon-day/ . Last year, they had well over 1500 people in attendance. The event is from 10A-4P but we will be setting up by 8AM.
This event goes very well with the AMSAT Youth and education initiatives. For the AMSAT presence, we will have a version of the AMSAT cubesat simulator, an additional partially completed version, the AMSAT Cubesat Engineering Model, Satellite pass demos, and more. There are lots of opportunities to interact with young people and the adults who bring them, about the interesting subject of small satellites, and how AMSAT is involved.
I am looking for several others to help with the exhibit. We will be right next to the Dallas Amateur Radio Club, but I am looking for individuals who like to communicate this stuff to young people. If you are interested, please contact me off list at [email protected] mailto:[email protected] so we can coordinate.
Thanks much for your assistance.
73, Tom, N5HYP
