Flight Week: Day 1

After a long night the team made it to JSC Ellington Field by 7:30am. We were greeted by the Texas A&M team and soon met the other teams from  Buffalo SUNY and Northern Florida. After a Welcome and Safety Briefing the team had a successful Pre-Test Readiness Review.

 NASA Engineers asked the team really great questions about the safety of our apparatus.

The boys and our NASA mentor Dr. Leimkuhler

  The team made a quick stop at Home Depot to pick up a few last minute items before we went back to the hotel. Jill and Dr. Barney Smith took a short power nap before dinner while the team worked on the apparatus. Then the boys took a nap on the ride to dinner.
The BSU team met the other teams and the RGO staff at Red River BBQ for a group dinner. Yummy Texas BBQ!

After dinner the team worked hard and long to get the apparatus ready for flight.
