The 2012 Meeting of the Division on Dynamical Astronomy will be held 6–10 May 2012 at the Timberline Lodge [1], Mt. Hood, Oregon.
The annual DDA Meeting brings together top researchers in astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science, and astrodynamics for in-depth and stimulating discussions and talks on all aspects of dynamics in the space sciences. The DDA meeting features invited talks on a range of topics, contributed talks (with no parallel sessions), and posters that can be displayed throughout the entire meeting.
Sponsors: Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research [2] & Celestial and Spaceflight Mechanics Laboratory [3]
Press Contact: Rick Fienberg [4]
Wayne Hayes has set up lists of people interested in carpooling to [5] or room-sharing [6] at the Mt. Hood Meeting. E-mail him [7] to be added.
Al Harris reports that the room block at Timberline is closed, and also filled. The next best hotel lodging I have located is Best Western Mt. Hood. This URL takes you directly to the Best Western reservation page for that property [8] As of April 23, they have rooms available at $109/night. The town of Government Camp, where it is located, is ~5 miles from the Lodge, so a car or carpooling will be needed. There are a number of other lodgings in Government Camp.
