Description:
The 111th Material Culture Forum's topic is "The Art and Science of Celestial Navigation Across the Smithsonian Universe." In this segment, Paul Ceruzzi, Curator Emeritus of Aerospace Electronics and Computing, National Air & Space Museum, speaks on "GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo: New Celestial Bodies." Paul attended Yale University and the University of Kansas, from which received a PhD in American studies. Among the many works he has authored are Computing, a Concise History (2012) and A Concise History of GPS, from its Military Origins to its Commercial Applications and Ubiquity in Everyday Life (2018).

Since 1988, the Smithsonian Institution Material Culture Forum has been organizing quarterly meetings that offer staff with opportunities to interact with their colleagues in other disciplines, to share information about their fields, to think about different directions in their research, to develop new collaborative projects, or, to just learn. The Forum considers topics from the vast world of objects that the Smithsonian collects, preserves, studies, and presents. The Forum is welcome to all, including members of the outside academic community. This meeting was recorded in the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on February 27, 2019.
