Space - The Final Frontier

Are you ready for an intense hands-on challenge to design, build, and fly a small satellite? S&T's Space the Final Frontier Virtual Camp is unlike anything you have ever experienced. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to encounter the edge of outer space. Your math and science skills will be used to design and construct a small spacecraft at home (materials provided) that you will send back to the Missouri S&T campus to be launched on a high altitude balloon to 100,000 feet. Throughout the week, video lessons will include satellite building and testing instructions, virtual laboratory tours, and interviews with aerospace engineering faculty and students. Once all satellites have been received, S&T will host a virtual launch event so you can watch your satellite begin its journey to the edge space and track it online throughout the flight. After the satellites are recovered, you will receive images and data captured by your satellite from the edge of space that have never been seen before!
