SAC SkyWatch on Friday, 13-Nov-2026
David Hanson, SAC member, will give a talk titled - History of Navigation & Navigating to the Stars. Beginning as a practical question: where are we, which way should we go, and how do we know? David may cover in his talk - land, sea, air, and space navigation. Of course, the remarkable history of space navigation includes early suborbital to successful orbital flights. Followed by rendezvous in orbit, missions to our Moon, interplanetary spacecraft missions, and the future prospect of interstellar flights.
Location: Rm 229, Peters Science Hall, KWU, 4th & Cloud and the KWU Observatory on the 5th Floor.
