By Joining The Space Studies Institute (SSI) Today
Space Studies Institute is a non-profit privately funded research organization dedicated to developing the resources of space tor all humanity.
The primary goal of the Institute is to conduct and support the leading-edge research essential to opening the resources of space for human benefit within this century.
A major project is the Mass-Driver, a new type of electric motor capable of accelerating materials to high speeds.
Research continues also in the field of chemical processing, separating elements from simulated lunar soil for eventual construction of solar power satellites.
Join us. Support the research that is opening the High Frontier of space for the benefit of all citizens of Planet Earth. Clip the coupon below and send it with your check or money order in U.S. funds today:

Pittsburgh L5
Pittsburgh L5 was founded in 1982 with the intent of educating and involving the population of the tri-state area in the potentials of the space frontier. In 1983 we held the first Pittsburgh Space Week celebration. In 1984 at the Pittsburgh Hilton, we hosted “NE84”, the first major L5 Society regional conference. Now. in 1987, we are your hosts for the 6th Space Development Conference.
We supply information to local media, speakers to community and school groups, have monthly public lectures on space topics and support two public computer bulletin boards (MYCROFTXX at 271-2764. PGH L5 BBS at 464-1397). Many of our members also take part in a national telephone tree that alerts them on key issues requiring letters, calls or visits to congress.
If you live in Pittsburgh and want to do more than talk about space…join us. (For information, call 351-4973)
