[Ground-station] [Board] Small Satellite Conference 4-9 August 2018

[Zach Leffke]

There's an outside chance I might get to go this year.  Not presenting 
anything, but we usually have a handful of folks from VT that present 
their work there (usually students presenting on various aspects of our 
cubesat missions), and I've been wanting to go for a while, but have 
always had conflicts (this potentially overlaps with the Rocksat-X 
sounding rocket launches).  Really boils down to whether we can swing 
the travel funding.
