September Public Meeting | Footsteps to the Moon: Countdown to Apollo 11

This is the free monthly meeting of the Space Association of Australia - all welcome!

VENUE: Megaflex Theatre (08|04|13), Building 8, Level 04, Room 13, RMIT University, 360 Swanston Street, Melbourne

TIME: 6:30 - 9:00 pm

The meeting will be streamed live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KER5GuyDiIU and then made available on-demand via the Space Association's YouTube channel - SAA.TV.

The first in a special feature series that will provide monthly progress reports on the lead up and execution of the Apollo 11 moon landing that took place in July 1969.

This series will set the clock back to September 1968 and present Apollo program milestones, reports on mission design, technical developments, crew training and selection, construction and testing, management and administration and key decisions in the months leading up to the mission, in 'real time' (+50 years).

Each month we will summarise the key activities and missions flown in that month 50 years ago between September 1968 and July 1969.

This will all culminate at our July 2019 meeting, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.

The series will kick off at our September 24 public meeting with an extended version, that will summarize the Apollo program milestones, from the ill-fated Apollo 1 fire in 1967 and bring you 'up to date' to September 1968.
