I am now part of the Alumni Association.  At the end of 2020 I joined the new OU Students Space Science Club. Soon after this there was a call for ideas for a Newsletter. &#xA;&#xA;I decided to offer to help put something together, so have been undertaking this. &#xA;&#xA;Issue one, has been completed and sent out. I am now working on issue 2.&#xA;&#xA;I am writing this in $\LaTeX$ [2] using Overleaf[3], which is much easier for creating documents, then word processing systems. &#xA;&#xA;The newsletter is a mix of news about space and space science, links to related websites.&#xA;&#xA;REFERENCES&#xA;&#xA;1 Open Unversity&#xA;2 LaTeX Project&#xA;3 Overleaf&#xA;&#xA;TAGS&#xA;&#xA;#OpenUniversity,#SpaceScience,#Group,#Newsletter&#xA;&#xA;a rel=&#34;license&#34; href=&#34;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/&#34;img alt=&#34;Creative Commons Licence&#34; style=&#34;border-width:0&#34; src=&#34;https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png&#34; //abr /This work is licensed under a a rel=&#34;license&#34; href=&#34;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/&#34;Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License/a&#xA;&#xA;hr&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;table&#xD;&#xA;thead&#xD;&#xA;trtda rel=&#34;me&#34; href=&#34;https://qoto.org/@zleap&#34;Mastodon/a/td&#xD;&#xA;tda href=&#34;https://wiki.ircnow.org/?n=Shelllabs.Intro&#34;ShellLabs/td&#xD;&#xA;tda href=&#34;https://joinmastodon.org/&#34;Join Mastodon/a/td/tr/thead/table&#xD;&#xA;center&#xD;&#xA;AI statement : b Consent is NOT granted to use the content of this blog for the purposes of AI training or similar activity.
