What is the CSDC News?

The CSDC News is an online publication of the California Space Development Council.

Formerly, the CSDC News was published in hard copy and mailed free-of-charge to interested parties. This process became too resource intensive and at the February 1999 meeting, it was decided to publish articles only on the web.

About the Production of the CSDC News On Line Editions

The current and past issues of the CSDC News are available for reading online. HTML editions are available at this server; PDF issues are available from an FTP server. (Depending on how you've configured your browser, it may download the PDF files to your local disk for offline reading or use a plug-in for immediate reading.)

Issues of the CSDC News are stored online in Adobe Portable Document Format. You will need a PDF plug-in to read an issue in a browser or the Adobe Acrobat Reader for off line reading. Both the reader and plug-in are free from Adobe, in case you don't already have the software. (The original source is an AppleWorks (formerly ClarisWorks) Draw document.)
