After the first successful day, the second came to follow. You may say that some sort of routine came up and everything seemed to be a bit easier. 

Since Sigmar Gabriel officially opened the exhibition yesterday, Alexander Dobrindt came today to visit Europes largest fair for aerospace industries. Beneath that we had a very interested and way more interesting delegation at our both: the Juris. These are from a iniative from the BDLI,  which has the aim to interest young boys and girls in technics and aerospace.

PCs for Cameroon

According to the motto „PCs for Cameroon“ Tesat-Spacecom has donated several disused computers, laptops and a projector to the Cameroon Christian University Institute, which so could be get a new provision instead of being scrapped.

Initiator of this campaign and messenger of the devices was Dr. Augustine Mofor, who himself, as a contribution to the development of Cameroon, his homeland, gives lectures at several universities in technichal subjects. Just by this activity Dr. Mofor became aware of the situation and developed the idea to help.

The event last year was only the beginning of the cooperation and of a more symbolic nature. In the future, support for the universities of Cameroon is to be expanded.

Conflict Minerals

We see the materials gold, tin, tungsten and tantalum in our every day life. Each of our devices contains at least on of these raw materials, be it gold in the bonding wires, tantalum in the capacitor, tungsten in a traveling wave tube amplifier or tin in a soldered point. The sources of these raw materials are mines in resource rich countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. There the profit out of the export of the raw materials does not lead to a wealthy economy but finances the lasting for years civil war.
