Personal Satellite Assistant Earth to Orbit Engineering
Design Challenge
Students take on a challenge similar to the one NASA engineers had to solve:
they will use the forces produced by small fans to control the rotation of a
horizontal, near frictionless wheel. The response of the wheel to these tiny
forces is similar to objects in the microgravity environment of space. Students
are given a set of pre-determined missions to accomplish with the wheel.
