May 9th:  Tour of the Satellite Station in Southbury (Now called Vizada, formally Telenor)

Scouts and their parent(s) should plan to arrive at the station so that the tour can begin at 7 p.m. 

Location: 2120 River Rd, Southbury, CT

Just before you get to the entrance to the park at the Shepaug Dam...huge satellites on your right.

This event will include a tour of the satellite station and a presentation to teach the boys (and adults!) some of the following cool things about satellites:

What is a satellite and how it is different than a antenna
Why the moon is a satellite
How satellites are used for communications on ships and airplanes
How satellites are used for maps and geography
How satellites get into space
The power and importance of computers
A look at the NASA web site

It should be a great event.  It will take about one hour.  It starts promptly at 7 PM.  For security reasons we will all congregate in the parking lot starting 10 minutes before hand so that we can all go in as a group.
