Antarctic Broadband presentation to the AIAA

Today, Michael Brett and Grant Bonin gave a presentation to the local chapter of the AIAA entitled Space Flight for Less: The Case for Starting Small …

Join Grant Bonin and Michael Brett and hear how human and robotic space exploration can be accomplished with existing, smaller launch vehicles, from both a technical and economic standpoint. It will be argued that ‘aggressive minimalism’ in general is a key enabler of ambitious space activities.  The Antarctic Broadband project, funded under the Federal Government’s new Australian Space Research Program and designed to meet the unique communications requirements of those living and working in Antarctica, will be detailed as an example of this ‘micro-space’ philosophy in action.
