[Baps] Cancelled: Fri 2/10 Lunchtime Seminar: Science from Commercial Nanosats, Dr. Alex Saltman, GeoOptics, Noon, 33-218

[Kerri Cahoy]

Hi All, 

The Friday 2/10 Lunchtime Seminar with Dr. Saltman has been cancelled (will be rescheduled for another time) as our speaker has not been able to travel to the Boston area because of today’s  snowstorm.

Best,
Kerri

Today, startups are building constellations of dozens of single-kilogram satellites to deliver high-precision science data to commercial and government customers. What changed? And what will change over the next five years?

He has developed policy, code, compromises and calls to action and worked to chisel progress out of stagnant institutions, in the process learning that change comes somewhat slower than the innovators think it will, but far faster than most others expect.
