CSTART talks at SpaceUp

Yesterday, Ben Miller-Jacobson, one of CSTART’s Acting Directors, gave a presentation at the SpaceUp “unconference“, in San Diego, USA. SpaceUp is a conference “open to all, where participants decide the topics, schedule, and structure of the event”, where representatives from many exciting parts of the space industry (from SpaceX to NASA) and enthusiast community (like the Google Lunar X Prize) are discussing anything and everything to do with space that grabs their attention.

Ben’s talk provided a first-time introduction to CSTART, our principles, goals and current projects, to a wide audience of just the kind of people whose help we will need. You can watch a recording of the talk yourself using the embedded Flash player below.

Today Ben will have given less formal presentations on our OHKLA and CLLARE projects to interested conference goers, to give people a clearer idea of what we have done so far and what we hope to do soon.

Downloadable versions of all the CSTART material presented at SpaceUp will be available in .pdf format from this website in the near future. Many thanks are due to the members of the CSTART community who helped us to raise the money required to cover the registration, travel and accommodation costs associated with talking at SpaceUp. Hopefully this event has raised the profile of CSTART amongst space enthusiasts and will bring in eager and talented new members to help us achieve our goals.
