Science Pub Portland: Launching Oregon’s First Satellite
With Andrew Greenberg, faculty advisor for the Portland State Aerospace Society.
Dec 5, 7-9PM | Doors @ 6PM | Advance tickets recommended; $5 suggested donation
Join the Portland State Aerospace Society for an evening filled with the adventure of designing, building, and launching OreSat0, Oregon’s first satellite, into low earth orbit. We’ll discuss space, the space environment, how we built Oresat0, how we tested it, the launch on March 15, 2022, debugging the satellite while in space, and how it will become Oregon’s first meteor shower in the next year or two. We’ll wrap up with a little bit about our next satellite that’s T-4 months from flight, called OreSat0.5.
Andrew Greenberg is a senior instructor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Portland State University. He’s the faculty advisor for the Portland State Aerospace Society (PSAS), and will sit in the
audience and heckle the students who will actually give the presentation since they actually do everything and he just takes credit for it. You can find out more about PSAS here, and about OreSat here.
