Launchspace's Upcoming Public Course Offerings
(1) Fundamentals of Satellite Operations: Geostationary Orbit Achievement, Stationkeeping, Debris Avoidance and Station Changes
A special presentation at Satellite 2010
Gaylord National Convention Center
National Harbor, MD
March 15
This is the interactive seminar that demystifies the workings of satellite operations while entertaining the audience of satellite professionals. Your seminar leader, Dr. Marshall Kaplan, teaches through illustrations, examples and personal lessons learned over the past 40 years. He connects mission types to operational requirements, with special emphasis on geostationary communications satellites. The objective of this seminar is to take each satellite professional on a journey that begins with an explanation of basic satellite operational concepts, through the maze of orbital phenomena and on to today's issues, such as how to deal with space debris. This seminar is uniquely designed for Satellite 2010. Every satellite executive, manager and engineer needs to know how these spacecraft work, and this is the opportunity to learn, discuss and ask questions. The insight and knowledge gained will prove invaluable to all attendees

Announcing the 40th AEROSPACE MECHANISMSSYMPOSIUM May 12-14, 2010 Hosted by NASA and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront Hotel, Cocoa Beach, Florida
This Symposium focuses on the problems of design, fabrication, test, and operational use of aerospace mechanisms with an emphasis is on hardware developments. Attracting attendees from all over the world, the Symposium provides a social and technical forum for personnel active in the field of mechanisms technology, as well as providing a source of information for others interested in this field. This Symposium will feature 46 papers on topics such as Mars and Lunar rovers, Cubesats, pointing gimbals, and the Space Station. Also planned are a tour and banquet at Kennedy Space Center and various mechanism supplier exhibits. For additional details, see www.aeromechanisms.com
In conjunction with the 40th Aerospace Mechanisms Symposium, Launchspace is conducting a pre-conference two-day Special Edition of its popular Space Vehicle Mechanisms course at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront Hotel. The tuition for this course is separately priced and is not included in the Symposium registration.
(4) Space Vehicle Mechanisms Special Edition Two Day Accelerated Version
Want to know one of the hot topics being reported by NASA and the Kids Science News Network? You will never guess this one….popcorn! Apparently, the history of popcorn goes way back in time! Although archaeologists believe popcorn was first discovered in Mexico it was also grown in China, India and Sumatra long before Columbus sailed to the New World. An 80,000 year old fossilized little piece of corn pollen was found buried 200 feet below Mexico City. Archaeologists have found ancient popcorn poppers in the north of Peru that they estimate date back to 300 AD. Sometimes Native Americans didn’t even bother with a popcorn popper; they just spread some oil on an ear of popcorn and laid it near a fire and pop! Grains of popcorn about 1000 years old were found in the tombs on the east coast of Peru and they still popped!
Do you want to know the secret about what causes popcorn to pop? We’ll tell you. Inside each kernel just under the hard outer casing is a small amount of water encased in a little soft starch. When the kernel is heated to about 450 degrees Fahrenheit the water turns to steam and blows out the kernel
