News & Announcement Board

Upcoming Activities

The Deep Space Exploration Society will hold its Annual Meeting in conjunction with the monthly Science Zoom Meeting on March 27 at 6:30 PM MDST. During the first portion of this meeting, the 3 newly elected Board of Directors, Floyd Glick, Donald Latham, and Paul Sobon will be confirmed by the current BOD and then installed. Immediately thereafter the new BOD will choose the officers for the remainder of 2023. I don’t anticipate this process to take much time at the beginning of the Science Meeting.

At this time we are holding our monthly meetings as virtual meetings. Our engineering meetings are normally held on the second Monday of each month. Our science meetings are held on the fourth Monday of each month. Start time is now 6:30 PM (Mountain Time). Email notifications are sent to members prior to the meetings. If you would like information to participate, please contact us at information(at)dses.science.

Recent past meetings are presently archived on Floyd Glick's website, at the top section for DSES: http://www.bd-oculars.com/downloads/Equipment_Inventory.htm.

Work trips to the Haswell antenna site are generally scheduled for each third Saturday of the month, with weather alternates on Sunday. This third weekend was chosen because it comes between our engineering and science meetings. Having a regular date helps our members plan ahead, especially those who must travel long distances. During the Covid-19 pandemic, work and science trips may be coordinated for other times. NOTE: Please coordinate with us before you go to the Plishner site, information(at)dses.science.

Website Update Notes

Active Experiments

Current experiments now in progress at the Plishner Radio Astronomy & Space Science Center site in Haswell:

60-foot dish antenna:

Current main work with the 60-foot antenna is to develop our ability to detect pulsars.

We are regularly using the 60 foot dish antenna for joint observing runs for SETI with Skip Crilly at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia. These joint observations are discussed in several of Skip's presentation slides. Please see our presentations page.

Jupiter Radio Science Experiment "Radio Jove":
20.1 MHz monitoring of Jupiter and its moon Io, using a 2-element phased dipole antenna - currently down, pending repair of the receiver.

Experiments in Colorado Springs:

Development of hardware/software and techniques for detecting pulsars.

Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance Monitor (SID):
- 25 kHz VLF Solar flare monitoring
