Join HSNY on Monday, March 1, 2021 for a virtual lecture on Space Shuttle Columbia Tragedy: A Watch's Story, presented by Ann Micklos, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Engineer, Merritt Island, Florida.
For the Horological Society of New York’s March 2021 lecture, former NASA Engineer Ann Micklos will discuss the general history of watches in spaceflight, which leads to her personal story about a watch that flew on a Space Shuttle. The watch was a gift that had the honor to fly on Columbia, STS-107. Unfortunately, Columbia and her crew were lost during her entry into Earth’s atmosphere. However, the pain for losing the crew and Columbia was slightly dulled with a watch which was meant to get back to her owner.
Zoom Webinar to begin promptly at 7:00pm Eastern Time (US and Canada).
