Venue: Boeing Building No.28, Huntington Beach, CA Attendees:Jim Martin Robert Davey Kamal Shweyk Dino Roman Bob Welge Jann KoepkePhil Ridout Ronald Freeman Jim NortonJerry Huang Joseph Justin Scott RolandOfficer Reports:

Chairperson (K. Castro, absent):

Chairperson-Elect (Norton):

Treasurer (Ridout):- December’s AIAAP_OC Financial report approved.- Annual IEEC Awards Dinner Banquet will be February 03, 2012. Need to contact Kimberley Castro to represent AIAA_OC and RSVP. Nominations for Project of the Year, Engineer of the Year and Young Engineer of the Year began in November, 2011 with a deadline of January 13, 2012. Nominations Nominations included those in civil engineering from Delta, Sea launch and Boeing C-17.

- Previous AIAA_OC members Anita Gale and Dick in Texas, are is accepting high school student submissions of Space Station or Habitat designs. The following Council members have agreed to review the submissions: John Rose, Roland Scott, Bob Koepke and Jann Koepke.

- The Orange County Science Fair in April, 2012, is need of volunteers. Jim Martin, Jann Koepke, and possibly Toby Holtz are available. Must email Toby. Passed: To authorize $800 for awards and $500 toward operating expenses to run the fair.This is budgeted under Pre-College (see #1699).

- Responsive Space Conference, May 2012, has traditionally used AIAA_OC volunteers.

Technical (Roman):- The invited keynote speakers for the ASAT Conference in May 2012 are John Langford, CEO of Aurora Flight Services Corporation, and William Harding, Director of Project Management at United Launch Alliance. The banquet speaker is not known as of yet; suggested was Robert Bigelow. New for this conference is to invite high school students to present science projects or science fair entries in the poster display area. Don Black, Chair of the IEEE_OC’s Gaming Committee, has organized an aerospace-related gaming event, the winners of which could be presented awards at the conference. ASAT registration is available either online through Constant Contact or direct

mail to Phil Ridout. Discussed was some problems associated with Constant Contact.

Honors and Awards (Davey):- The deadline for AIAA award nominations is February 01, 2012, to be

presented at the ASAT conference in May, 2012. Nomination Categories include leadership, engineering, student excellence and young professional.

- So far, there have been 12 member responses to upgrade to AIAA Associate Fellow membership.

- There’s a AIAA call to nominate those who have contributed to the aerospace industry . Forms are available on the AIAA_OC website. Elon Musk would be a likely candidate. He’s already received the prestigious George Lowell Award in space operations; so, there’s little incentive for him to seek this. Moreover, he’s not an AIAA member.

Programs (Roland):- There has been a lot of interest expressed for the upcoming Space X tour (180

people, 40% of OC section’s membership). The tour size is limited to 40 people. The tour is scheduled for Friday, January 27, 2012, 10am-12noon. The Space X contact person is Robert Gilbert.

Directors at Large (Rose):- Family Rocket Day is a STEM event to include a speaker, build n’ fly

demonstration (launch at an athletic field)and a barbeque. Usually a long day, the event lasts from 9am-6pm.

- AIAA_OC now has a movie license, contracted for AIAA use (vs. public) only. Consider a Movie Night with a concession stand to sell popcorn, pizza and soda, sometime in March. Consider NASA or Boeing movies (eg. October Sky or Fighter Pilot) which are not restricted. Check distributor availability. Possible venues include Boeing Building 28, Goldenwest College or a local independent movie theatre, agreeable for showings per educational use.

- The Rockets 101 program generally attracts about 40 youths and 30 adults. Perhaps, the next rockets 101 event can be scheduled for late February at the Park Amphitheatre. Could make a day out of it, with a barbeque and a movie to follow.

Membership (Welge):- Regional Area Conference (RAC) is scheduled for Saturday, January 28, 2012, Microscosm Corporation. Kimberley should RSVP. increased amount of aviation business leaving the area.- The dinner meeting last February, when Dave Thompson spoke on SR-71, had

a good turnout. Bob Welge further mentioned other dinner meetings: In July, “Business expansion and Innovation through the Deep Web”; and, “In September, Flight Testing the 787 and the 747-8”. Dinner meetings have generally not had great response. Alternatively in the future, presentation meetings followed with light snacks may fare better.

- Membership applications are in storage. Either Phil or Bob should retrieve and bring to the next meeting.

- Membership report for 2011, showed relatively stable counts of the 0rder 545-555 from the peak membership count of 604 in June 2004. Student membership peaked to 92 in October from normal monthly counts of about 60; the reason is unknown.

Young Professionals (vacant):- Rick Cheng resigned from the position. Consider Parish Patel to fill the vacancy.

Career and Workforce Development (Huang):- FYI: The financial forum “The New Economy for 2012” to include three

speakers (two lawyers and a CPA) discussing tax investments/ trusts could be a possible dinner talk for AIAA_OC members on January 30, 2012.

- Mark Bregman of Boyle Ogata Bregman’s Talent Management Programs and blogger of “The Headhunter’s Secret Guide to Seeking Jobs” has agreed to speak either February 28th, 29th, or March 7th or 08th. Check to finalize date along with Boeing Bldg. 28 availability.

Education (J. Koepke): - The Girl Scouts of Orange County are in the early stages of rocket building/ rocketry program. Rockets, A and B levels, require $300 police license and insurance waiver. The Girl Scouts facility is in Irvine CA, a possible venue to use. - The After-School Program at the Catholic High School is underway.

TARC and Student Launch Initiative (R. Koepke):- Regarding SLI, the team launched a 5” x 12’ long uav to an altitude of 450 feet that required little programming, last Saturday. The SLI team met about four times over the holidays to work on the Critical Design Review. The related website will be up soon. The next NASA payment of $1400 should arrive around February 06, 2012. In the meantime, there’s a need to purchase a video camera, fiber carbon material priced at about $300 each. The SLI Team requests an advance of $1400 to be paid back with the next NASA check. AIAA_OC has already budgeted $2500 pass-through for SLI. The request therefore is authorized.- The TARC teams have not received the 30 engines ordered. Hence, they did not go to launch.

Public Policy (Shweyk):- Region 6 Public Policy Colloquium is scheduled for February 11, 2012, at the

Flight Museum, LAX. Congressional Visit Day budget has been cut except for the National’s contribution of $500 to each Section. Congressman Rohrbacher representing California’s 46th district has always been receptive to personalized appointment meetings. Last year over 250 particpants from all

over the country convened and lobbied for a national AIAA public policy. PASSED: to authorize $1500 funding Kamal Shweyk’s CVD travel expenses.Bob Welge asked whether CVD is included in the AIAA_OC mission statement. John rose responded that CVD forges a local relationship with AIAA_OC.

- Communications (E. Castro):

The meeting adjourned at 9:00pm. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 7th at 6pm, venue to be determined. Jann Koepke volunteered to bring dinner.

AIAA_OC Meeting Minutes of March 13, 2012Here is a follow up for the meeting on Tuesday.  Ron was there and will likely be able to provide a lot more details with the minutes.

We did not have minutes on time to approve them - we will approve February's minutes in the April meeting.

The calendar was erased apparently with the last update of the website.  Enrique - I just added the April and May meetings to the calendar.  I'm wondering who can see my changes?

The budget passed.

Dino asked that we spread the word about ASAT.  He has received about 6 abstracts so far.

We may need another projector ASAT - I think we are assessing that situation still.

We passed the vote to provide $300 in matching funds to John Rose for CVD.

Dan Abir presented on both two topics: (1) AIAA "sponsored" technical training.  (2) The FEA master's degree.  Dan and Jerry are to make a proposal to the Section on how we might do the technical training.  There was a lot of discussion as to what are membership might want and how we could find that out.  We discussed surveys and presentations or interactive discussions at ASAT.

Lastly, there are several dates to keep in mind for advancement:

MARCH   * Begin nomination process for Section Officers.   * Nominate members for Fellow and Associate Fellow.

APRIL   * Associate Fellow nominations due 15 April.  * Associate Fellow references due 15 May.  * Fellow and Honorary Fellow nominations due 15 June.  * Fellow and Honorary Fellow references due 15 July.

AIAA_OC Meeting Minutes of June 5, 2012

Started: About 6:15pmConducting: Jeff NortonAttended: Jeff, Phil, the Koepkes, Jody Hart, Dino, Jim, Gene, Kamal

Presentation : Nino Polizzi (Rocket Science Tutors).  Nino reviewed the program.  He noted the 4 schools that they are working with in Santa Ana and mentioned a new school

in the Northrop Grumman backyard.  FYI: He noted that to start a program at a new school costs about $6000.

Presentation : DBF Team (John Chen.  UC Irvine).  Review of last years program and spending.  It was a successful year - they won 2nd place.  They made many capital and material purchases which drove their costs north of $12K.  However, they did state that they thought that they would be back in the $8 to $9K expenditure level this coming year.

COUNCIL BUSINESS

Chair (Jeff)

Mindjogger ItemsRegarding Section Annual Report.  Kimberly Castro is working on this.  Jeff to check on the status.Regarding Section Awards.  Kimberly is working on this also.  Jeff to check on the status. We need to go after the education award.Regarding CAT 1 money - Where is it?  Jeff will try to check on that at the RAC (if I get a chance).We are not sending an officer to the Regional Leadership Conference.Confirmed Council meetings except for May.  Doublechecking September's meeting schedule.

Finalized the Roster:Chair - Jeff NortonChair Elect - Scott RolandTreasurer - Phil RidoutCareer & Workforce Development - Jerry HuangEducation - Jan KoepkeHonors & Awards - Gene JustinMembership - Bob WelgePrograms - Jim MartinPublic Policy - Kamal ShweykYoung Professionals - OPENTechnical - Dino RomanCommunications - Jody HartDirectors at large - John Rose, Toby Holtz

Treasurer (Phil)We passed the April and May budgets by unanimous vote.

SECRETARY - Ron - We need past reports for approval.  Please provide those to this group or to me for distribution so we can approve those next month.

Education (Jan)

The Koepkes are reaching out to Quest Therapeutic for a summer camp for a rocket launch.  Nice reach out to children in need!They have a goal to lauch 5  TARC teams.Note that there is no SLI effort this year as they did not quality.

Also, jan mentioned that they are working with a grow called FAR (Rick Mascek (spelling?)).  FAR is sponsoring a content to build and launch a rocket to 50,000 feet. Dino felt that this would be a great section goal.

At that point, I suggested that we seriously consider and asked the council to consider what our mission as a Section should be.  I think we need a clear mission statement and have asked the Council to consider it.  I am going to try to talk to our regional leadership about this as well.  What we have been trying is not working at generating sufficient interest to grow membership.  We need to get people excited about AIAA.

Programs (Jim)Jim asked for additional money for programs.  I asked Jim to consider a kickoff meeting for the 50K rocket as a possibility.  Jan later added that perhaps we can have Mr. Mascek as a speaker (that was after the meeting Jim).  Jim is trying to target membership, perhaps on a more technical level, to generate more interest.  He plans on working with Jerry on this.

We also reviewed having a Kite Fly this summer.  Bob Welge has provided a contact at Jim's request so he can follow up.

Jim - I mentioned SpaceX to you.  I think Scott helped set this up earlier this year.  It would be a great tour.  By the way, if you are interested (would be a good program), here is the contact information for Roger Gilbertson who works in Marketing & Communcations - Roger.Gilbertson@spacex.com.

Public Policy (Kamal).  Kamal has been contacted by Dr. Andrew Benjamin from Congressman Rohrbacher's office regarding what public policy should be.  Kamal provided (via AIAA National) a statement of the AIAA's position.  (Kamal - can you provide that to me - I'd like to post it on the website).  We also touched on August is for Aerospace.

Technical (Roman).  A brief discussion of the date for next year's ASAT.  Could not determine a date for the ASAT.  Trying to avoid days around 5/16 (and need to watch out for Memorial Day and Mother's Day).

Communications (Hart): Jeff to provide Enrique's contact information so that Jody can be brought up to speed.

By the way - I (Jeff) will add the Council meetings to the calendar.

Bob - do you still have the spreadsheet of contacts from last year?  Can we circulate that again?

BUDGET DISCUSSION - Budget approved.

The budget discussion was lead by Phil.  A proposed budget was provided in the afternoon.Action Taken: Reintroduced CVD funding back into the budget.  Motion passed - 6 for, 2 against.STEM funding was maintained and in some cases increased.We also increased funding for programs.

Motion to accept the budget with discussed changes passed unanimously.

Phil, please distribute the new budget when you have finished it - Thanks for your efforts on this!

LAST WORD

Please consider what our mission is.  Once we have a clear objective, then we can be more effective in providing our members the opportunities that AIAA should be providing.

IEEE’s July 23rd dinner meeting will feature Jonathan Arenberg, chief engineer working on JWST at Northrop-Grumman, to lecture on James Webb Space Telescope. On August 27th, IEEE_OC will feature Don Black who will speak on Advanced Propulsion. IEEE_OC will at a later day feature a speaker to talk about Nano-launchers.

- Consider co-inviting relationship with IEEE_OC instead of a co-sponsoring relationship.

- A motion was later passed to thank Don Black, IEEE, for his interests in support AIAA efforts, and to let him know that Council is willing to distribute IEEE meeting notices to local AIAA that might be of interest to the AIAA local membership. Joint events will need to be pre-approved and will be considered on a case by case basis.

- Later it was noted that one member in an email to the AIAA local site was not happy with not making the Space X Tour final guest list. Space X is no longer allowing site tours, and dinner programs with Space X are out.

- Consider having a dinner meeting to feature John Garvey presenting a paper on Nanolaunchers, 18 September 2012 at 6 pm. Food will be free for members, $5 for others.

-Jim will forward a letter to AIAA_ OC members requesting input for speakers, topics to present, and different program venues. Correspondence should be sent to aiaaoc@yahoo.com. Jonathan Hart will manage the email account.-
