Microsatellites: An Evening with Michael Turner of Project Persephone

Michael Turner of Project Persephone will be visiting Noisebridge to talk about Project Persephone, an inexpensive entry-point to space for your microsatellite projects destined for low equatorial orbit.

Project Persephone: http://projectpersephone.org/

• Plan missions to put small satellites into low equatorial orbits for disaster warning, environmental monitoring and emergency communications
• Prototype exovivaria - closed ecosystems inside satellites, to be maintained from Earth telebotically, and democratically governed by a global commmunity.
• Promote sustainable development in equatorial mountain regions, especially in areas that might someday host projectile space launch.
  study market mechanisms for optimizing all our activities.
