Do I Want To Launch Something I Built Into Space?
Do I Want To See It Launch Next November (Yes, Next November!)?

If your answer to these two questions is yes, then come to
the first CUBESAT meeting in 2001 on Thursday, January 11th.
Here are the important details:

 Come to the first weekly meeting at 5:15 pm Thursday, January
 11, 2001 in 201 PAS:
        1) Sign up for independent study or capstone credit with
        the mentor of your choice
        2) Eat pizza
        3)And get on the fast track to valuable, hands-on experience
        that makes real all you've learned in the classroom.


CUBESAT is a Project under the auspices of The Student Satellite
Program (formerly the Student Satellite Project) which is a part
of the SpaceGrant Program.  'nuff said, it's the real deal.  So
show up for pizza, credit, experience and to be able to say next
November that your work was put on top of a really big rocket
and shot into orbit.

Remember our motto: "Enough With the Problem Sets, Now Make It Real"

See you there,


The Student Satellite Project is hiring! The Student Satellite Project
(SSP) is a group of students that are attempting to design and build a
satellite to be launched from the Space Shuttle.   We hope to conduct
experiments in lightning/sprite detection, stellar photometry, and laser
communications.

comes with such a project, please attend our information and orientation

When: August 30th (Monday) at 4:00 PM
Where: Physics & Atmospheric Sciences, Room 201

Claire Macha of the U of A Library will present a brief talk on Library
