Hey All,
I talked to Mike Pirone about a visit to Boeing. He didn¹t think anything
sounded promising.
I contacted Lockheed and they said that the only unclassified project they
could show us would be the GPS system in King of Prussia. I¹ve seen the
presentation and it¹s pretty interesting... you can also ask questions
directly to the GPS engineers, which is pretty neat. After a complete
overview presentation, they could take us to the high bay and we could check
out some real-live GPS satellites (few people ever actually SEE a
satellite). This is a pretty interesting trip and isn¹t too far to
travel... keep in mind that we couldn¹t bring any non-U.S. citizens.
Dan, what kind of things would we be exposed to on the NIST tours?
If we want the Lockheed thing, I have to let them know ASAP to begin
preparations and schedule a date, etc. Let me know what you all think!
Sean
PS If you¹re opting out of this discussion, please reply anyway. I don¹t
want to make any decisions if people aren¹t checking email over the break.
