Here we go,

this Thursday (27th Nov) we shall have our space learning meeting at the Centimeter V, Schleifmühlgasse 7, 1040 Wien (close to Karlsplatz). We start at 7pm, presentation will be around 30min. Afterwards Q&A and then we move on to socializing, discussions on space encouraged :)

The topic shall be about our solar system, some specialties of the planets that we have and a look at some science missions that were flown and what they figured out.
As always, bring along interest and curiosity as well as a good mood then it shall be a fine evening :)

Welcome,

On the 7th november SGAC Austria had the first event of a really cool initiative which is called Space Learning Network. With the theme "simplicity, the art of complexity" we have setup a little learning group which is comprised of space enthusiasts of various different paths of life, also interested in very different aspects of space. Every second week we get together for our learning meetings.

Estimados Amigos,

En nombre del Grupo Latinoamericano de SGAC queremos dirigirnos a Ustedes quienes se encuentran en la region por donde (segun los pronosticos) pasara el huracan Ike para traerles nuestro apoyo moral en tan dificil situación.

Las noticias dan informacion de las consecuencias del huracan en paises como Haiti y Cuba y nos afecta saber que muchos Latinamericanos y compatriotas estan pasando malos momentos o han sufrido la perdida de sus hogares.

Deseamos que todos Ustedes junto con vuestros familiares y amigos se encuentren seguros y fuera de peligro.

Atentamente

The European fluid science research activities in space reached a milestone on August 7. with the successful completion of the first experiment run in the Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL) facility, one of the payload racks located in the European COLUMBUS laboratory on the International Space Station.

In August the experiment, called GEOFLOW, has concluded and completed two further runs on the 19th and 25th, and a partial run on the 27th prior to an ISS debris avoidance manoeuvre performed by the European Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV).
