Chapter meeting

Hello DC99s!

Please join our next virtual meeting next Monday, Feb. 8 at 8pm (link below). We’ll hear from chapter member and Air Force Lt. Col. Anna Gunn-Golkin, a test flight engineer who will soon be part of the newly formed Space Force about her work. She’s currently in California helping set up the training program for incoming Space Force crew. Anna has a MS in astronautical engineering and is working on a PhD in systems engineering.

And if you’re feeling like you might have missed the boat in terms of becoming an astronaut, there’s good news! You can now enter to win a seat on a Space X flight that will to take you to the Space Station for free (or with a donation to St. Jude’s) lottery. Deadline March 1. Details here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/01/science/spacex-jared-isaacman.html.

If you would be willing to talk about your aviation career or adventures at an upcoming meeting, please let me know.

I hope you got to enjoy the snow a bit before shoveling out!
