The Planetary Society - Ireland

 

Welcome!

Welcome to new (and evolving!) web site for The Planetary Society, Ireland. The Planetary Society is a science and space exploration outreach organisation set up by Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray and Louis Friedman in 1980.

TPS Focus

The Planetary Society promotes space exploration; and invites you to participate by keeping yourself informed via TPS blogs, The Planetary Report bi-monthly magazine, TPS email shots, TPS events and so on; or if you choose, more actively through advocacy, writing and event participation, among others. You can join The Planetary Society directly from the main TPS web site at planetary.org

TPS Ireland

TPS Ireland is the Ireland branch of The Planetary Society. Our focus is running local events such media-rich talks. We are also actively developing our capacity for advocacy and in providing expert analysis to media and news organisations on space exploration and its relevance to society.

 

Since The Planetary Society is a non-profit organisation; TPS-Ireland is run on a volunteer basis. The current Volunteer Coordinator for Ireland is Kevin Nolan, lecturer in physics at The Institute of Technology, Tallaght. You are welcome to contact Kevin with any enquiries  (see contact details below)
