The next Quarterly Board Meeting of the Deep Space Exploration Society will be held at the Sommers Bausch Observatory, University of Colorado Boulder main campus, commencing at 2:00PM 16 March, 2013 MT. If there are items for the Agenda, please forward to the presiding officer: Robert Slate (ds...@rslate.com) or to me, wayne...@dses.org. In addition to the business meeting, there will be a tour of the optical observatory. Tentatively we have Adam Ginsberg, a PhD candidate at CU talking about small dish radio astronomy and giving a presentation of the radio astronomy work he and collaborators have been publishing lately. We have also tentatively scheduled Dr. Xinlin Li, Professor and PI for the Colorado Student Space Weather Experiment (CSSWE) an NSF-funded 3U CubeSat (30×10×10 cm) housing an energetic particle telescope. Dr Li will present their results to date and to have a conversation with us from the design to operations of their project. This portion of the meeting will explore details related to our discussions with Cornell and our contributing telemetry to their CubeSat effort. The CSSWE details may be found at: http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/csswe/ Directions to the Observatory are relatively simple: The missile address is : 40.0036, -105.2629 A link to Google Maps : http://goo.gl/maps/fjvNt From Denver into Boulder along HY 36 -- the Boulder Turnpike, you will exit onto Baseline, and turn to the left (West). At the light at Broadway and Baseline (a few blocks to the West), you will turn to the Right (North). Go to the first light -- Regent Drive. Turn to the Right (East) and go to the first intersection. This is Kitterdge Loop. Turn South on the first part of the loop, go one block then take the first Left. The big domed building is Fiske Planetarium. Sommers Bausch is under the smaller dome immediately East of the Planetarium. The parking lot is just East of the observatory. On Campus: As you drive North on Kitterdge Loop you will notice a driveway up the hill to the left (ENE) immediately in front of the steps leading up to the Observatory. Park in Lot 119 and pay attention to the signs. Lot 119 is really two rows of parking closest to the tall building along the West edge of that large lot. |
