* A history making announcement to coincide with International Women's Day, with the news that Katherine Bennell-Pegg will head to Germany next month to train as an astronaut with the European Space Agency (ESA). Katherine will be the first Australian woman to be trained as an astronaut by an international space agency, after recently being one of only 25 people to successfully complete ESA’s astronaut selection process from a pool of 22,500 eligible applicants. While on secondment to ESA, Katherine will remain an employee of the Australian Space Agency.
* Celebrating International Women's Day 2023: "Women In Space" by Kerrie Dougherty recorded at a public meeting of the Space Association of Australia, South Melbourne for World Space Week. Kerrie is a space historian and management team member of the Space Discovery Centre at the Australian Space Agency in Adelaide, South Australia.
* Australia in Space: A History of a Nation's Involvement by Kerrie Dougherty. Kerrie is an acknowledged expert on Australia’s space history, having co-authored the original edition of this book, Space Australia, and published more than a dozen other papers on the topic. This revised and updated edition now entitled, Australia in Space, tells the story of Australia’s involvement with space activities, from the earliest rocketeers to the latest satellite projects. It's the definitive book on Australian space history.
* We remember the Antonov AN-225 aircraft on the first anniversary of its destruction. The AN-225 was originally designed to airlift the Energia rocket boosters and the Buran-class shuttle orbiter for the Soviet space program.

2023.02.22 | Telstar 1 - Redux: Celebrating the first active communications satellite
On The Space Show for Wednesday, 22 February 2023:
Marking the 60th anniversary of the demise of Telstar 1 with a fascinating and prescient 1962 pre-launch talk by Jean Felkar (Assistant Chief Engineer at AT&T).
Mr Felker discusses communication by satellite and other aspects of the future of communication in space, followed by questions from the floor. He discusses the technical innovations involving microwaves that led to broadcast television. Because microwaves travel in straight lines, the curvature of the Earth prevents broadcasting worldwide.
Mr Felker predicts that by 1965 there will be an commercial satellite system for industries that will use satellite technology - telephone, television, all kinds of electronic communications.
