The Space Chapter continues to grow. As a result of the response to prior

articles in Checkpoints, the Chapter has expanded its membership to over 40

grads, representing a wide spectrum of Air Force and civilian space

experience. We now have a broad sampling of members from research,

development, operations, management, policy, education and other career

fields involving space-related expertise. In addition, several astronaut

grads are helping us understand how USAFA can benefit from their unique

experiences.

Numerous projects are underway to support space-related education at the

Academy. In addition to continuing contacts with various faculty and staff

members, the Chapter is working on several specific projects, including

support for summer field trips; developing contacts with members, military and civilian

organizations, and firms in the Colorado Springs area; and providing

displays of space-related equipment. By working with the USAFA

leadership and directly with cadets, the Chapter is continuing to develop our appreciation for the

needs and interests of the Wing and staff in strengthening appreciation

for the role of space operations in the future Air Force.

Any grads interested in joining the Chapter should contact Stan Rosen '69
