Classroom training will take place at the Micro-g LaCoste
facility in Lafayette, Colorado. Attendees will also work in small groups,
receiving hands-on training with an FG5 gravity meter or an A-10
gravity meter. Previous workshop attendees will note that the
hands-on portion of the workshop will be very similar to earlier
workshops.
In addition to the classroom discussions, we would like to schedule a
series of (optional) 15-20 minute presentations by workshop
participants. More details on this as attendee interest is
gauged.

limited to a maximum of 15 persons. The cost is US$1500 per person,
and includes all course materials, box lunches, and snacks (the fee
does not include airfare, lodging, or additional meal expenses).
