The IEEE Pikes Peak LMAG and IEEE Section members heard Dr. George Nield talk about his trip to space on Blue Origin spacecraft.
Seventeen Pikes Peak IEEE LMAG and Section members met for lunch at a local restaurant on 27 October 2022 to network, enjoy a pizza lunch, and watch a video originally presented by the Galveston Bay LMAG during Aerospace Week.
In the video, Dr. George C. Nield, President of Commercial Space Technologies, LLC, describes his flight to space about the Blue Origin sub-orbital spacecraft from West Texas. He told us about pre-flight preparations and training, the actual spaceflight, and recovery operation using high-quality pictures.
