Hello to all
Finally I have had the chance to update the blogsite after what has been a very busy month.
Since returning from the USA there has been a great deal of activity that included meeting Her Royal Highness Queen Fauziah during the recent University of Science Malaysia's convocation festival (see photo).
It was an honor to be able to show her royal highness some of the activities we have been doing that also included an outline of the International Space Settlement Design Competition.
Her royal Highness was particularly impressed with a demonstration of 3D images of Mars that were demonstrated on my AMD Ferrari Laptop.
The month of August saw a great many Aerospace Workshops at both TUDM Sungai Besi and also a continuation of our successful Planetarium Imax Program featuring the awesome film commentated by Tom Hanks "Magnificent Desolation". These were amongst the first words spoken by Astronaut Edwin Buzz Aldrin as he set foot on the lunar surface soon after the world renown Neil Armstrong.
Since returning from the USA there has been a lot of activity at Aerospace Education Services. We are pleased to announce that we have taken on a new staff member. Mike has just graduated in electrical and electronics engineering and will be helping us to develop our robotics workshops amongst other things. Hope to show some of Mikes new work soon now.
In addition we are beginning to organize a special series of interactive live webcasts with the Johnson Space Center. It is my hope to conduct the webcasts with NASA engineers and astronauts as part of a schools education program nation wide. Students will have the opportunity to watch these live video feeds from places of interest at the Johnson Space Center. The events will be interactive so it will be possible to ask questions and participate directly in the presentations.
I have also posted some pics of the Sokol Falcon Space suit purchased by AES for the Agensi Angkasa Negara. Before the space suit was delivered to its new owners a couple of lucky club members had the chance to try it on and experience wha it is like to try the real thing. The Sokol suit is the standard space suit worn by all astronauts travelling to and from space on the Soyuz rocket. The suit is now on dispaly at the National Planetarium.

I have posted a few pics of some of our recent activities. Will try to update again soon.
Bye for now
Sam
