SSPI South East is pleased to present our next Chapter Program Meeting in conjunction with the GA Tech School of Aerospace. We have an ultra compelling topic that you should not make the mistake of missing out on, as this is a unique and special opportunity to learn the fundamentals and the amazing engineering ingenuity of what 10 x 10 x 10 centimeter boxes can do and will do in the future.

Your guides are the students and faculty of the Cubesat Lab at GA Tech School of Aerospace, led by Professor Glenn Lightsey, who has pulled all kinds of strings to host the meeting at GA Tech, and to get clearance for our group to get a behind the scenes look inside the Cubesat Laboratory itself.

 

Program Agenda for Wednesday 20th February 2019:

5:00-5:30 pm: GAGASOP, aka Gathering and Grabbing A Slice Of Pizza!
