Astrophiz Podcast 40 (space junk edition) is Out!
In this episode we celebrate our 40th episode and 10,000+ downloads into 50+ countries.
In this episode we feature Dr Alice Gorman ('Dr Spacejunk') who is a Space Archaeologist and Senior Lecturer at the Department of Archaeology, Flinders University in South Australia.
She is a member of the Advisory
Council of the Space Industry Association of Australia. Alice casts a
new focus on WRESAT-1, Australia's first satellite launch, positioning
Australia as the third nation in space in 1967. She explains how the
Voyager probes and the 'Golden record' are cultural milestones which
mark humanity's place in the solar system. As one of the few space
archeologists on planet earth, she gives fabulous and new insights into
the ISS and the treasure it has become.
