The purpose of the Lunch Talks is to get people thinking about
the great science that will be done with SOFIA. Although the
primary focus will be on science, technical topics that relate
to the science performance of SOFIA, such as the mirror coating
facility, detector development, a data archive and pointing improvement
will also be included.
The talks are meant for all those working on SOFIA: scientists,
engineers, technicians and managers. We would also like to include
visitors and would encourage visiting scientists to give talks.
All Talks are held in an informal format at NASA Ames Research
Center from 12 pm to 1 pm (bring your lunch). Visitors from outside
of Ames Research Center must obtain visitor badges prior to visiting
Ames. Information and
instructions for obtaining a visitor badge.
