Science on Tap

Picture
​
Join Cool Science for Science on Tap every 2nd Monday of the month at Jack Quinn’s Irish Pub & Restaurant in downtown Colorado Springs.  Presenters begin at 6:30 pm and typically speak for 60-90 minutes including Q&A, with food and drink available beginning at 6:00 pm.  A wide variety of fascinating topics are presented by local scientists for informal discussion, and the relaxed atmosphere encourages anyone and everyone to come explore the latest ideas in science and technology.  From practical to theoretical, the presentations and group interactions provide a fun and interesting way to gain an understanding of the world around us.

The Deep Space Exploration Society
Bill Miller, Vice President, The Deep Space Exploration Society
Summary:  ​On the eastern plains of Colorado is a unique facility for amateur radio astronomers and radio enthusiasts.  The Paul Plishner Radio Astronomy and Science Center, where the centerpiece is an 18-meter (60-foot) radio telescope owned by the Deep Space  Exploration Society  (DSES).
 
This presentation will cover the history of the telescope and give a photographic tour of the site while highlighting the unique resources that the DSES  offers its members and STEM outreach to interested students of all ages.  It will describe our activities, technical capabilities, and current projects in Radio Astronomy and Amateur Radio.
Bill Miller is Vice President and a ten-year member of The Deep Space Exploration Society.  He was recently the architect and general contractor for the new DSES Operations Center, and previously an aerospace engineer, power electronics engineer, program manager, and system architect for large computer cloud storage and power conversion systems.  Bill's radio call sign is KC0FHN.
