Pictures

Hello all! I thought that I would provide a link to our Weightless Wonder pictures from last year. We will be posting pictures to the same group throughout the process this year, so keep your eyes open for new photos!

The Good News!

We got the email from the Reduced Gravity Office informing us that we had been accepted into the SEED program! YAY! Which means we get to go to Houston, Texas and fly on the Vomit Comet!

Dear Erin Martin –

On behalf of the Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program, I want to thank you for patience with our delayed announcement of flight teams for the 2009 Flight Season.

At this time, we are able to announce that the flight team from Carthage College has been selected to participate in the upcoming Systems Engineering Educational Discovery flight program.

Your team has been paired with Angle of Repose of Lunar Simulants in Reduce Gravity. We will be sending more information and getting you into contact with your team’s NASA Principal Investigator after the holidays.

If for any reason, your team is no longer able to participate in the flight program, please let us know by 12pm on January 5, 2009. In this time of limited funding, if this is the case, it will open a flight spot to another team that may not have been initially chosen for the program.

Congratulations on your acceptance and we look forward to working with you in the near future.
