From: WMartin at Office-3 (Will Martin) Just noticed this item in looking at the announcement for the Tenth AIAA Communication Satellite Systems Conference, to be held at the Sheraton Twin Towers, Orlando, FL, 19-22 March 84: Special Presentation, Wednesday, 21 March, 5:30PM: Astronaut Participation in Communications Experiments Dr. Owen Garriott, NASA Scientist/Astronaut and Stanford University professor, will describe his communications and scientific experiments on the recent STS-9 mission, illustrated by film clips taken on board the shuttle and Spacelab. [***End extract***] This conference may be of interest to many readers of Space; it's not expensive -- AIAA student memebers = free; student nonmembers = $12; AIAA members or program participants = $140; nonmembers = $190. Not bad for 4 days of conference sessions, technical exhibits, and a bound volume of available papers. There's also two pre-conference colloquia on Sunday, 18 March 84, for $45/$55 (members/nonmembers) on satellite communications basics or on dbs antenna design.
