The Space Studies Institute proudly presents the complete set of videos of the presentations from the final day of the 2017 Advanced Propulsion Workshop, held Friday, November 3rd, 2017 in the Sally Ride Board Room of The Aerospace Corporation’s El Segundo, California headquarters.
The presentations spanned a range of Propulsion Physics and Engineering topics with insightful and often entertaining Q&A. We hope that you will give each video a full view and that you will discover, as some of us did while putting the videos together, that even sessions not at first seeming to be in our personal areas of expertise can have real nuggets of directly usable information. Enjoy!

Session 00: Greg Meholic
The Aerospace Corporation
“Who We Are and Why We Are Interested”
Following SSI President Gary C Hudson’s very short (and, sadly, not well recorded) welcome to the group on day one, Greg Meholic gave the rules of the campus followed by this fascinating overview of the work of The Aerospace Corporation and insights into the interest there is in Propellantless Propulsion.
