This year's ILA was a 6 day event. The first 3 days were only open to trade visitors.
A lot of industry representatives stopped by. We made some great connections
In between waves of people we squeezed in a group photo. From left to right: Inez Mischitz, Jürgen Brandner, Sven Wehlan, Thomas Kunze, Robert Böhme, Karsten Becker, Sebastian Rattay, Mario Kulcynski.
Robert took great pleasure in explaining our work to everyone.
Thanks to all our sponsors for supporting us! For a complete list of our sponsors check http://www.part-time-scientists.com
The camera tower is collapsible to safe space on the lunar lander. Watching it pop up is awesome to look at as well.
While everyone was enjoying the airshow we went on a lunch break.
At least 50% of us is always working ;)
The stream of curious people never seemed to stop
That small rover on the counter is the first prototype of Asimov. Watch the assembly clip here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_xiY7L5mIQ
A special political visitor made it to our booth. The aerospace coordinator of the German government Peter Hintze! http://www.peter-hintze.de/
Hintze and his team showed great interest in our team and were amazed by what we accomplished since our last meeting 6 months before the ILA.
Who's taking a picture of who?
Many families stopped by on the public days of the ILA.
It was great to talk directly with people not from the aerospace business about the GLXP.
We always took our time with children. Inspiring them is one of our most important duties.
But not just children were interested in Asimov.
Children goggling our Rover was great.
When there weren't any metal birds in the air the exhibition halls really got crowded.
One Part Time Scientists explaining rocket science to 3-5 people at a time was very common that day.
Curiosity was steady on all days. But the public days were espesially fun.
