General Meeting: February 2023
Wednesday, 1 February 2023 8:00 PM
Why did a group of 1960s University of Melbourne students build a satellite while they should have been studying and enjoying themselves? Was it the first Australian satellite? What was its purpose and what did it do? Did it work? How was it significant? What did it have to do with the event on 4 October 1957? Where did it lead and what were the lessons from it? Owen will reveal the story of the Australis OSCAR 5 student satellite, replete with his conspiracy theory and amusing incidents.
