The Albertan student contingent at #IAC2019 took full advantage of all the photo ops the conference has to offer! The lightsabers and blow-up alien at the Nanoracks booth are a particular favourite

In a technical session at the world’s largest space conference, our talk about #exalta2’s deployable boom got lots of good questions and audience engagement! Also, great turnout for a Friday afternoon session. We’re proud of Deputy Project Manager Katelyn Ball's work at IAC 2019! #IAC2019
