After a second successful flight, the composite origami team is happy to be back in NC. Huge thanks to @ZEROGResearch and @NASAArmstrong for this amazing opportunity!
Why is the Composite Origami team flying in microgravity? We want to improve the techniques for fabrication, storage, deployment, and tracking of composite origami structures used in outer space.
This week the Composite Origami team will be taking over the BLAST Lab Twitter to talk about our trip to fly with @ZEROGResearch. Stay tuned for pictures + updates!
@ncstatemae students did an excellent job design structures to survive 300 mph hail. It's amazing to see their innovative and creative solutions. @ncstatemae#wolfpack#Engineering
@NCStateEngr students in @ncstatemae are going to see if they can design projects to withstand 300 mph Hail tomorrow. Here was a test shot from today... #wolfpack
In Nov, 10 space techs supported by NASA Flight ✈️ Opportunities were put to the test in 0 gravity with @GoZeroG including this lightweight spacecraft boom from @NCStateEngr – it can be used for deploying solar arrays, solar sails, and other instruments in space.
