The International Space University has opened its first Southern Hemisphere Summer Space Program (SHS-SP) in Adelaide today. The program, set up with assistance from Australian Space Research Program funding, brings together some of the best minds in the Space industry, and will feature several prominent Australians from the Space Industry. The SHS-SP is a co-operative program between the ISU and the University of South Australia, and is a five week, intensive program that covers all aspects of the Space Industry.
This years program includes students from 8 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Malasia, and was officially opened on the 5th of January by the Hon Jack Snelling MP, South Australian Minister for Science and Information Economy.
In conjunction with the SHSSP, there are three public events to be held in Adelaide in the coming weeks, which I believe are free, so get along to them if you can.
