  • Upcoming Section Meeting -- Wednesday November 16 at ASU

            Our next section meeting is being held on Wednesday November 16 and it will be an in person event that is being held on the ASU Campus.  We will be hosted by the ASU New Space activity, and we will meet in the lobby of ISTB-4 at 6 pm on Wednesday.

            We will get a tour of the facility and a presentation by Dr. Ernest Cisneros, an Associate Professor who is part of Dr. Jim Bell’s research group.

            There is a parking structure that visitors can park at using a credit card.  The parking structure is at Rural Road just south of E Terrace Rd, and is very close to the ISTB-4 building, which is short walk west of the north west corner of the parking structure.   

           Scott Smas, who is a Section Member and key staff at New Space will be our host.  He will have a sign out front of the building with his cell # in case there is any issue entering the building.

            Below is some info on Professor Cisneros and a map of the parking and New Space building ISTB4

    Thanks and we hope you can make this section meeting,

            Scott Fouse and Aiden Bramer
