So Thursday we attended a professional development workshop. This was nice because there was a lot of information on the different opportunities for students and teachers at NASA. I should give a plug for the Teaching From Space Website at this point. The best place to click on it “get students involved” followed by your […]
Sorry for the week long hiatus. I have a lot to write about from touring JSC and meeting Robonaut. But first, I wanted to post all of the flight photos. There are a lot of great photos. If you need a high res photo, just drop me a line. I should note that the photos […]

It is midnight. It worked. I just finished spending 3 hours making a rough analysis of the data. It actually worked. I have a lot to say but it is late. Laurie and Rose had an awesome flight today. Although the video camera failed (probably because the team leader neglected to put fresh batteries in […]

We started out the day on Monday making all of the final adjustments to our experiment. We added padding to the outside, added Velcro to hold everything down, and ran through the software. After a group photo in front of the plane, we had our Test Readiness Review. I gave a quick presentation on our […]

Wow, we are in Houston! I caught an early flight on standby so I hope to get some work in. The past week was very busy, preparing all of the software and doing some last minute analysis and stress tests for the TEDP (Test Equipment Data Package). I was able to do most of the […]
So this has been a busy week for finishing up our NASA experiment. The BUA FIRST Robotics Team has been busy building an experiment which will fly on the NASA vomit comet during the last week of June. Many thanks to Nima, Bard, Borg, Perry and Matt for all of their hard work on this […]
