Dr. Hank Pernicka, professor of aerospace engineering and Dean’s Educator Scholar, will present a talk titled “Building Microsatellites for the Future,” 2-3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 5, via Zoom.

Take a look at how microsatellites could be used to inspect satellites, do small repairs or refuel spacecraft – and help eliminate the need for risky EVAs (“spacewalks”) when something goes wrong.

All lectures in the series will be available for live public viewing. Missouri 2021 is an initiative of The State Historical Society of Missouri and its Center for Missouri Studies.
