Grand Valley State University release
Roger That! Conference

A Celebration of Space Exploration in Honor of Roger B. Chaffee

Roger B. Chaffee was born February 15, 1935 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and went on to become one of the city's favorite sons. An engineer, pilot and astronaut, Chaffee lost his life in the Apollo 1 accident on January 27, 1967.

This event, scholarly in nature and open to the general public (and free with registration, apart from the ticketed dinner keynote) is co-organized by Grand Valley State University, the Grand Rapids Public Museum and the Roger B. Chaffee Scholarship Fund. Roger That! seeks to honor Chaffee and highlight local research in a two-day celebration of space exploration.

Roger That! is a series of concurrent events in downtown Grand Rapids taking place on Friday, Feb. 10 and Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017. Speakers from a number of different fields will present.

The keynote speakers include Brother Guy Consolmangno, director of the Vatican Observatory, and Martha and Sheryl Chaffee.

All times are CT (US)
