Today marks the first day of the Statler college Engineering Challenge Camps in-person! It has been over two years since our last camp and today our camp counselors and campers had a great day filled with demonstrations and hands-on projects. Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!
The @WVU_EcoCAR team placed sixth in year four of the EcoCAR Mobility Challenge competition, bringing home $14,500 in awards. Lead faculty adviser Andrew Nix also received the National Science Foundation Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award. Congrats! 👏

This photo might not look like much, but it is one of the first images returned by the #LucyMission from space! The star field is courtesy of Lucy's Terminal Tracking Camera (T2Cam). All of Lucy's science instruments passed their preliminary tests with flying colors!
GO for launch! The final readiness poll by Launch Conductor Scott Barney is complete and Launch Director Paul Aragon has given permission to launch #AtlasV and #LucyMission. Watch the liftoff at 5:34amEDT: https://t.co/RPT8Xwp5Cp

Fueling operations have been initiated at the Space Launch Complex-41 pad. The first step in tanking procedures is loading 4,150 gallons of liquid oxygen into the Centaur upper stage for today's launch of the #LucyMission. https://t.co/RPT8Xwp5Cp
For the 1st time, molecular water was discovered on a sunlit surface of the Moon, suggesting water may not be limited to cold, shadowed places. Goddard postdoc Dr. Casey Honniball, made the discovery using NASA's @SOFIAtelescope airborne observatory. https://t.co/TUFKK8Rl9x
Traveling nearly 62,000mph, @NASAPersevere has reached its halfway point to Mars! After landing, Perseverance will start taking samples from the Martian rock, which couldn’t be done without mechanisms from SNC. #countdowntomars
