SUMMARY:March Storm: Meetings with US Congressional Staffers
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers will advocate for space-related support and funding with members of United States Senate and US House of Representatives or their staff. Mandatory in-person training for advocates will be conducted Monday\, March 16th\, followed by meetings Tuesday and Wednesday in Senate and House offices on Capitol Hill. Details will be made available to registered participants. Registration is $50 and goes towards room reservations\, preparation materials\, and scholarships for students to attend. \nThis year’s March Storm advocacy topics include:\n\nEnsure that the United States’ lunar base is commercially based\n\nEncourage Congressional committees other than the House Science Committee and Senate Commerce Committee to engage in industry policies that will help grow the space economy\n\nMake it law that the U.S. government will enable a series of large-scale space development activities\, resulting in many people living and working off-planet\n\nCreate an office of Operational Energy in the Space Force

SUMMARY:Goddard: Celebrating 100 Years Since Launch of 1st Liquid-Fueled Rocket
DESCRIPTION:“Tried rocket at 2:30\,” Robert Hutchings Goddard recounted in his diary on that frosty afternoon in 1926 at “Aunt Effie’s farm” in Auburn\, Massachusetts. “It rose 41 ft\, and went 184 ft\, in 2.5 sec\, after the lower half of nozzle has burned off\,” he wrote. \n\n\n\nGoddard’s March 16th experiment marked “the first flight with a rocket using liquid propellants\,” as the physicist and inventor recorded matter-of-factly the following day. \nOn 16 March\, at the appointed hour\, 100 rockets will be sent aloft where Goddard made history – part of a series of commemorative events that AIAA is supporting that are designed to inspire a new generation of students to embrace STEM. \nThe launch area in Auburn is now on the 9th fairway of the Pakachoag Golf Course\, a National Historic landmark where an engraved obelisk dedicated by AIAA in 2006 marks the dawn of the rocket age. \n“We were honored to place the obelisk at the location of Dr. Goddard’s achievement\,” said Merrie Scott\, AIAA Senior Vice President of Membership Engagement. “He served as a director of the America Rocket Society\, which is one of the predecessor organizations to AIAA. His legacy has become part of AIAA history.” \nOther model rocket launches are expected by rocket clubs\, school students\, and space enthusiasts around the country on the anniversary. \n“My premise has always been that as great as it is to celebrate something that happened 100 years ago\, it’s really a celebration of the genius of humanity\,” said Charles Slatkin\, executive director of the Wonder Mission\, a nonprofit that acquired and renovated Goddard’s birthplace in Worcester\, Massachusetts\, with the mission of inspiring the next generation of scientists\, engineers\, educators\, innovators\, and what he calls “visioneers.” In addition to the rocket launched\, Slatkin is coordinating a series of centennial events in March\, including a festival and rededication with the city of Auburn at Goddard Park and tours of Goddard’s home. \nSee other Goddard Centennial events here: https://firstlaunchcentennial.org/ \nOn 18 March\, AIAA President Dan Hastings will participate in a discussion at Worcester Polytechnic Institute on the legacy of Goddard (Class of 1908) and on 22 March he will participate in a 100th anniversary event at Worcester’s Hanover Theater. \nThe Goddard centennial is “a celebration of all of these innovators and dreamers and engineers and educators who work tirelessly and don’t get a lot of attention\,” said Slatkin. “We have gone from Goddard to interstellar space in just 100 years. To me it is a wonderful way to celebrate and honor science and engineering.”

SUMMARY:Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series: Pictures of Distant Worlds
DESCRIPTION:At Smithwick Theater of Foothill College\, 19:00 PDT\, Bruce Macintosh (Director of the University of California Observatories) will give a free\, illustrated\, non-technical lecture. No admission charge; the college is a 12345 El Monte Road. \nIn the past three decades\, more than 6000 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars beyond our own solar system. However\, we still don’t know if our solar system is rare or unique—the powerful techniques that detect extrasolar planets have discovered systems very different from our own. In recent years\, advances in technology have allowed a handful of giant planets around other stars to be imaged directly. Find out about the first-ever images of other solar systems—and the technology that has allowed us to discover them\, such as the Gemini Planet Imager—as well as the future planet-hunting space telescopes. The ultimate goal is detection of a second ‘pale blue dot’—an Earth twin where we could even see the biosignatures of extrasolar life. \nBruce Macintosh is the Director of the University of California Observatories in California and Hawaii. His research focuses on the study of extrasolar planets\, in particular the study of such planets through direct imaging. Direct imaging of extrasolar planets involves blocking\, suppressing\, and subtracting the light of the bright parent star so that a planet hundreds of thousands of times fainter can be seen and studied in detail. Dr. Macintosh co-led the team that imaged the first extrasolar planets\, and was the principal investigator of the Gemini Planet Imager\, an advanced adaptive optics planet-finder for the Gemini South telescope. \n

SUMMARY:Launch RV-X VTVL / Test flight
DESCRIPTION:1st test flight of vertical-takeoff-and-vertical-landing RV-X small rocket (6.76 m tall\, 1.83 m dia.\, 3\,138 kg); 2nd test flight planned for March 14. \nRV-X is the first of two flight experiments planned by JAXA in developing a reusable 1st stage for a next-generation launch vehicle. A 2nd vehicle planned to fly NET early 2027 is under the Callisto program (for Cooperative Action Leading to Launcher Innovation for Toss-Back Stage Operation) with partners from France and Germany. \nThe RV-X and Callisto projects are intended to acquire technology for safely operating reusable launch vehicles using liquid hydrogen as a fuel. This offers a higher specific impulse than kerosene or methane\, for a lighter vehicle\, but poses handling challenges\, JAXA says.
