DESCRIPTION:The Space Shuttle program\, initiated by NASA in 1972 and concluded in 2011\, marked a revolutionary era in space exploration. This reusable spacecraft system comprised five orbiters: Columbia\, Challenger\, Discovery\, Atlantis\, and Endeavour. They collectively completed 135 missions. Highlights include the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope\, pivotal work on the International Space Station\, and numerous scientific experiments yielding invaluable insights. The program experienced both triumphs and tragedies\, notably the Challenger and Columbia disasters\, which underscored the inherent risks of space travel. Ultimately\, the shuttle program left a legacy of innovation and international cooperation in human spaceflight. The presentation will provide an overview of the space shuttle development\, its design and operations\, and provide insight into the Challenger and Columbia Disasters.\nIEEE members need to pay $20.00\, to offset the cost of the lunch\, which covers about 80% of the actual cost. Guests are $25.00 and Students are $5.00. Please bring cash or a check as we cannot process credit cards at this time. La Fonda’s lunch items are offered via a menu of three choices plus tea or water. We appreciate your consideration and we look forward to seeing you there.\nCo-sponsored by: EMB\nSpeaker(s): Ben Jurewicz\, \,\nBldg: La Fonda\, 8633 Crownhill Blvd\, Private Room\, San Antonio \, Texas\, United States\, 78209 URL:https://life.ieee.org/event/an-overview-of-the-space-shuttle-development-design-and-operations-2/ LOCATION:Bldg: La Fonda\, 8633 Crownhill Blvd\, Private Room\, San Antonio \, Texas\, United States\, 78209 CATEGORIES:Meetings of Interest ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://life.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/featured-image-virtual-event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20260820T111500 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20260820T123000 DTSTAMP:20260814T134834Z CREATED:20260814T134831Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T134834Z UID:16450-1787224500-1787229000@life.ieee.org SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence\, Intelligent Era\, and Intelligent Economy DESCRIPTION:Title: Artificial Intelligence\, Intelligent Era\, and Intelligent Economy (The speaker will focus on AI surpassing human intelligence\, the singularity turning point\, and the creativity of AI)\nSpeaker: Guang-Bin Huang\, Chair Professor\, Southeast University\, China; Former Professor\, Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore; and Founder of Mind PointEye\, Singapore\nDate & Time: Thu 20 August 2026\, 11:15 am\nVenue: EEE Executive Seminar Room (S2.2-B2-53)\, NTU Singapore\nSession Chair: Dr Loh Wai Kuan\, Consultant to vFlowTech and IEEE Life Senior Member\nNo registration is required.

They can search systems\, choose tools\, update records\, trigger workflows\, and make changes in business applications.\nOnce an agent can take action\, it should be treated like a system identity. It needs its own identity\, a clear owner\, limited permissions\, and rules that control what it can do.\nThis talk uses a simple employee-badge analogy to explain the idea. An agent is like an employee or contractor\, and its identity is the badge. Least privilege means the badge opens only the doors needed for the job. Bounded access means it works only in the right building\, on the right floor\, for the right task\, and for a limited time.\nThe session also explains why every action should be checked at runtime\, why the target system must still protect its own resources\, why access should be short-lived\, and why every agent action needs a clear audit trail.\nAttendees will leave with a practical way to think about AI agent security: treat the agent as an identity\, limit its authority\, and check every action before it reaches an enterprise system.\nSpeaker(s): Venkata Patelkhana\nAgenda:\n6:25 to 6:35 PM – Open for participants to enter and network.\n6:35 to 6:40 PM – IEEE LM and CTCN Business meeting and to introduce speaker.\n6:40 to 7:55PM – Formal Program and Q&A.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/571370 URL:https://life.ieee.org/event/ieee-cts-ctcn-lmag-zoom-meeting-8-20-2026-the-agent-is-an-identity-why-ai-agents-need-least-privilege-limited-access-and-runtime-checks/ LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/571370 CATEGORIES:Meetings of Interest ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://life.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/featured-image-virtual-event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260822T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260822T130000 DTSTAMP:20260814T134834Z CREATED:20260807T134804Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T134834Z UID:16385-1787400000-1787403600@life.ieee.org SUMMARY:Starting Startups DESCRIPTION:add later\nSpeaker(s): Mr. Ranjan\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/571294 URL:https://life.ieee.org/event/starting-startups/ LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/571294 CATEGORIES:Meetings of Interest ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://life.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/featured-image-virtual-event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260827T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260827T140000 DTSTAMP:20260814T134835Z CREATED:20260804T133340Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T134835Z UID:16329-1787832000-1787839200@life.ieee.org SUMMARY:North Lake Life Member Monthly Meeting August 27\, 2026\, starting at 12 noon DESCRIPTION:Social meeting mixed in with what is happening in the IEEE New Orleans Section and proposed future meetings\nCo-sponsored by: Richard Miller\, Chair North Lake Life Member Affinity group\nAgenda:\nIEEE North Lake Life Member meeting August 27\, 2026\, starting at 12:00pm Noon\nLocation:\n702 Water St.\, Madisonville\, LA 70447 USA.\nThe restaurant has a limit of 25 (twenty-five) people guests per group.\n12:00PM Social meeting and lunch ordering\n12:30PM Luncheon social\n1:00PM Meeting opens with introduction of attendees\n1:10PM Old Business: Proposed Technical Meeting\nNew business: Richard W.

SRZM oversaw the construction of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope between 1965 and 1970. The NWO established a new organization\, ASTRON\, in 1980 to handle other branches of astronomy not covered by SRZM; the two were merged several years later to form the current ASTRON organization.\nASTRON pursues a technical development programme\, aimed both at providing innovative instrumentation for use on current observing facilities and at laying the groundwork for future generations of telescopes and signal processing instrumentation.\nTo these ends\, the ASTRON facility in Dwingeloo maintains a well equipped R&D division specializing in the design\, prototyping and qualification of:\n– Low noise\, ambient and cryogenic radio receiver systems (0.2–345 GHz)\n– Very high speed digital electronics\n– Antennas\, especially in the array environment\n– Advanced instrumentation for use at optical and infrared wavelengths\n– Algorithm and software engineering for instrument control and for imaging\nOude Hoogeveensedijk 4\, 7991 PD Dwingeloo\, Dwingeloo\, Drenthe\, Netherlands\, 7991 PD URL:https://life.ieee.org/event/visit-to-astron-dwingeloo/ LOCATION:Oude Hoogeveensedijk 4\, 7991 PD Dwingeloo\, Dwingeloo\, Drenthe\, Netherlands\, 7991 PD CATEGORIES:Meetings of Interest ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://life.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/featured-image-virtual-event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260827T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260827T200000 DTSTAMP:20260814T134835Z CREATED:20260812T134835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T134835Z UID:16416-1787853600-1787860800@life.ieee.org SUMMARY:Piedmont Section ExCom Meeting III DESCRIPTION:ExCom Meeting to discuss and plan Piedmont Section activities\nAgenda:\n6:30 PM Meet and order food\n6:45 PM Start Meeting\n– Dr. Raza runs the meeting\n– Agenda to be shared\nBldg: Outback Steakhouse in Easley\, 125 Center Way\, Easley\, South Carolina\, United States URL:https://life.ieee.org/event/piedmont-section-excom-meeting-iii/ LOCATION:Bldg: Outback Steakhouse in Easley\, 125 Center Way\, Easley\, South Carolina\, United States CATEGORIES:Meetings of Interest ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://life.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/featured-image-virtual-event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260829T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260829T130000 DTSTAMP:20260814T134835Z CREATED:20260812T134835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T134835Z UID:16419-1787994000-1788008400@life.ieee.org SUMMARY:Atlanta Student Leadership Workshop DESCRIPTION:The Atlanta Section is excited to host this Student Leadership Workshop for Atlanta-area IEEE student branches and HKN chapters.
