Who We Are
We’re part of a NASA spacecraft design student competition done as part of a capstone class. The project includes designing, testing, and building a guided data vault recovery system. Our design was chosen as one of six finalist, allowing us to compete with top schools across the country. The winning team may get to work with NASA to integrate their system into official NASA development. Check out the link for more information on the NASA's Floating Dragon program! https://floatingdragon.nianet.org/
What We're Fundraising For
Our team was selected as finalists for the competition. Finalists are granted a $5,000 stipend by NASA to offset costs for further development of our project. However, our team still needs to raise additional funds for expensive vehicle testing, manufacturing, and travel. We've estimated that we'll need to raise an additional $5,000. A large chunk of our budget, approximately $3,000, would be used for a necessary wind tunnel test alone.
Your Impact
Your donation will help the team to complete construction of the prototype, fully test the prototype (as required by the NASA Balloon Program Office) and travel to Ft. Sumner, New Mexico, for the launch. This is a great opportunity for students to gain relevant and unique experience. Help us change the world!
