Ultimately the success of the NZSF comes down to the contribution of members - so we need your help. Most of all during this discovery phase - we want to find out *what's going on, that we don't know about*\! The initial committee quickly discovered that there was a lot more going on around New Zealand than we realised - but we're certain there are a lot more Kiwis out there working deep-in or on the fringe of space enterprise. Do you know of any Kiwis (in NZ or abroad, dead or alive) who: * Works for an aerospace company? * Are currently working on space-related research, projects or products? * Is damn keen to help kickstart the NZ Space Race, and would like to join the NZSF team? * Is involved (or is keen to be involved) with Space education - at any level? In addition to these specific areas we're trying to research, who we're ultimately after is you -- a space enthusiast who took the time to take a look at this site. If the activities and vision of the NZSF is for you, then [register your interest|PORTAL:Contact Us]\!. We're still in the early stages of getting going, but have a committee that is meeting regularly to discuss the direction and next steps - and hope to have some public displays, conferences or meetings in the not too distant future. {column} {column:width=30%} {column} {section} h5.
