Not everything in space is there to look outward. There are actually tons of satellites in orbit whose purpose is to look back on the Earth: observe weather systems, track forest fires, quantify climate change, and so much more. Join us to talk about a variety of topics related to weather, climate, and Earth-observing satellites. We'll talk about rockets, orbital mechanics, communications, cameras and sensors, data processing, weather, hurricanes, climate change, and anything else you're interested in. Come prepared with questions!

Like space? We do too! Come learn about and discuss current and future progress, problems, and questions in space exploration. We’ll talk about missions to Mars, the search for extraterrestrial life and what happens if we find out we’re not alone, the rise of the commercial space industry, and all sorts of cool topics at the intersection of science fiction and reality.
