Dear AESS Members,
In this second update of 2019 we bring you the latest on the outstanding successes of our members, and we talk about our educational activities and share with you what’s on our horizon.
Among the many interesting articles included in this edition, I would like to draw your attention to the article commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Apollo Missions 8 and Apollo 11 lunar missions.
I am indebted to George T. Schmidt, AESS VP Technical Operations, for writing such a fantastic article that leverages his own experience and takes a fascinating personal perspective on the events. I warmly suggest our youngest members and all enthusiasts of history of technology to read on for the full story.
Enjoy this new edition and, if you have any input on what you would like to read about in the next editions or if you would like to contribute an article, please contact us!
Warmest regards, Fabiola Colone Editor-in-Chief, AESS QEB [email protected]

As a part of IEEE AESS Mentorship program, Dr. Ganesh Subramanian and his mentees Aravind and Tamilsevan, successfully rebuild a Hexa copter and Octocopter at their ‘Team Dronix’ research lab which is located Panimalar Institute of Technology, Chennai, India during October 2018 to January 2019.

|
|
|
|
|
The major components were replicated using 3D printer and few of other were semi customized. The Octocopter will be used in RFID based Smart Vehicle Parking System and the Hexacopter with the payload capacity of nearly 6 Kg will be utilized for delivery purpose in a factory environment. They did test both drones on manual pilot mode and advancing towards making them in autonomous mode.

Currently the AESS has eight Technical Panels:
The panels hold multiple meetings per year throughout the world, typically where conferences relevant to their technical interests are taking place. Creation of IEEE standards and support of IEEE Conferences are major thrust of technical panels. Each panel operates under its own charter and bylaws. Be sure to click the appropriate Technical Panel button above for more information on that panel.
Please contact George Schmidt, VP Technical Operations, the Technical Panel Chairs or any member of the Board of Governors if you're interested in participating in the work of a technical panel.
Distinguished Lecturers are wanted to support the Panel's technical areas, as well as, in all the AESS areas of interest; for more information contact VP Education, Lorenzo Lo Monte.
|
|
|
|
All AESS Chapters and IEEE Sections are encouraged to take advantage of the AESS Distinguished Lecturer and Tutorial Program for their regular or special meetings, that allows them to select from an outstanding list of truly distinguished speakers who are experts in the technical fields of the society. For more information, please see the AESS website.

IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine
The IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine is a monthly magazine that publishes articles concerned with the various aspects of systems for space, air, ocean, or ground environments as well as news and information of interest to IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society members. Our goal is to inform the readers of technologies, state of the art, design trades, etc. so that they will gain insights into a field heretofore unknown to them. We want to introduce technical specialties to readers in the hope that something in the articles will give them some insight for their own fields of endeavor.
