Were you glued to the TV when Artemis II returned to Earth? I know I was. Well, you won't want to miss our November meeting with Jeff Mauldin from NASA. He came and spoke at our March 2025 meeting about the International Space Station and Artemis II and this month he returns to talk about the events of Artemis II and how those lessons prepare us for Artemis III and IV. Jeff will then talk about the Artemis III mission plan, his team's role in it, and a look ahead to Artemis IV and the challenges that mission brings.
Jeff Mauldin started as an Attitude Determination and Control Officer (ADCO) for the ISS flight control team for many years. He then became the Group Lead of the Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) flight controllers for Starliner and Artemis. He is now the Group Lead for the ISS Russian, Commercial (Starline), and Artemis Rendezvous flight controllers.
Also this will be a great meeting for show and tell so be sure to bring whatever specimens, jewelry, or other items you would like to donate to the President's personal collection (ahem . . . clears throat . . . I mean that you would like to show off to the members, ask questions and then take back to your home (dang it . . . I almost had ya)).
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS, however, when you come to our meeting and know you want to join our “Rockin” family, you will be happy to know that our annual membership is only $15 for adults or $20 for an entire family (all at the same address) and FREE for honorary members age 70 and above. Your membership fees not only give you our “gem” of a newsletter every month, but it also helps to support scholarships and school grants. Let me just make this “crystal” clear – we would love for you to join our group. Visit our website at www.clgms.org to read more about this “jewel” or an opportunity! (I know, I know . . . I’m punny . . . but I’m also done now)
