The PowerPoint from the JDR is up. Have a look at what we've been doing!
The JDR (Jan Design Review) was held on 6/20/07. We are optimistic with the progress that we have made in the past months! Let the work begin... well... continue at an accelerated pace!
Make sure to get an MRT e-mail address through Gmail! You'll be able to keep track of all progress this summer with the Calander feature!
We're off to a great start this summer!
May 18th is Physics Day at Lagoon! The MRT will have a booth up- Paper Rocket Launch.
Thanks for attending the banquet at the Bluebird Restaurant. If you couldn't attend you missed out on some great food and some great company: your fellow MRT'ers and astronaut Don Lind!
TEAM MEETING TIME: Wednesday 6:00 P.M. in SER 244 The
Microgravity Research Team provides students with practical job experience giving them a competitive edge within their field of
interest. Creating state-of-the-art technology, the MRT produces
scientists and engineers that are prepared for a position in a
high-tech industry.Team members work together to design, test and
build their own projects learning to apply their skills at a hands-on
level. Since the team’s first payload, MRT members have been involved
in many other projects such as NASA’s “Vomit Comet” and the
International Space Station. MRT strives to stay at the forefront of
space research by adapting to fit the demands and prospects that arise;
creating unique opportunities for the MRT. Interesting Quick Facts About the Microgravity Research Team
- In 1982 the team flew the first Get Away Special experiment in the world.
- Astronauts,
NASA personnel, private aerospace recruits, and Bill Nye “the science
guy,” any many others, have toured our team labs.
- Thousands of K-12 students got involved in space research with the Team’s “space popcorn” experiment.
- The
Team was the first group of people outside of NASA to directly
telephone the International Space Station and speak to an astronaut
while in space.
