Our very own Anne Coleman represented Salmon Library at the 63rd International Astronautical Congress! Her paper titled “Willy Ley: Rocket Scientist and Book Collector” was about the unique Willy Ley Collection held at the UAHuntsville Salmon Library Archives and Special Collections.
The 63rd International Astronautical Congress, themed “Space Science and Technology for the Needs of All”, took place in Naples, Italy between October 1-5, 2012. There were more than 3,300 attendees, including 34 UAHuntsville student researchers! These students were selected by the International Astronautical Federation to give 42 oral presentations and 5 poster presentations in the full technical sessions of the regular congress. The conference also included appearances by second man on the Moon Buzz Aldrin and first Chinese woman in space Liu Yang. We are so proud of Anne and the student researchers for representing UAHuntsville on an international stage! See below for a few pictures from Anne’s trip to Italy.
