We’d love to see you at some of AIAA Houston’s October 2024 public events. 

Our Networking and Social event comes relatively early for a third Thursday. We’ll gather at Nobi Public House in Webster, TX on Oct. 17 from 530pm to 7pm or later. Food and 2x drink tickets on us – no membership required. And we’ll again offer an AIAA-member-only door prize – two pairs of Wings Over Houston general admission tickets. Give an AIAA executive officer your name and email when you arrive, and enjoy the evening. 

Our virtual lunch-n-learn series on NASA’s Great Observatories will continue with “The Hubble Space Telescope: Unveiling a Magnificent Universe” by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman, Hubble Senior Project Scientist. Sign up to receive the virtual event details here. 

And we’ll kick off the month with a booth at Johnson Space Center’s “JSC 101” Community Fair at the Gilruth Center, where AIAA Houston executive officers will showcase the section’s phenomenal activity to new hires and interns across the JSC community.
