Varda Space Operations
A company called Varda (they manufacture drugs in space) has put a satellite into orbit and will have to retrieve it in the next few weeks. The estimated reentry time is September 5th between 2-3 pm, but there will be a massive TFR in ZLC that will impact all the air traffic that would typically transit that airspace. HERE is a screenshot of the TFR, you can expect a briefing shortly to explain the finalized routes around it.
All Members Meeting
The next All Members meeting will be September 27th at 1 pm. East/West Conference room. Agenda items to include some local constitution change proposals. Please let us know if you have any other agenda requests, and we’ll add them.
Security Changes
The security system in the building is being upgraded. This should mostly go unnoticed, but they did say some badges might not work. Just let someone know, and they’ll point you in the right direction to get it fixed. The other change is in regards to the blue “employee” badges, which are mostly only used if a person forgets their ID at home. The new system will be for the gate to issue a badge that looks similar to our current badge but has a “T” instead of a picture.
Thank you,
