Following the July 4 Independence Day celebrations please come join us for our afterglow meeting entitled"...and the Rockets Red Glare ..." talking about real rockets! We'll have Karl Hoose, CEO of Valt Enterprises of Sanford, ME discussing his development of ram jet rockets to lift small payloads (e.g., cube sats) intro orbit, and our own Paul Howell showcasing amateur rocketry at Bowdoin College. From small to large it should be an explosively good time! Meeting starts at 7pm at the Southworth Planetarium on Falmouth St on the USM campus in Portland. We'll also have refreshments and our usual meeting content. Hope to see you then!
