Astral Orbit

We are a rocketry team competing in TARC (The American Rocketry Challenge). Ad Astra!

Marquette High School's @rockwoodschools @realastralorbit  experiment simulates and observes the behavior and properties of lunar regolith in microgravity. Their NASA TechRise Student Challenge winning proposal is underway. View their progress: https://t.co/qVPDXVKf0D

The @realastralorbit project, which will launch into space in 2023, tests the impact of lunar dust on space materials. https://t.co/t5w2Zpw8Z5

@xkcdComic An interesting property of this diagram: it's a Galton Board, and the bins follow a binomial distribution. The probability that any random ball dropped lands on the off button (as shown in the diagram) is C(12, 3)/(2^12) which is roughly 5.37%.

🥳 Congratulations to the 57 TechRise Student Challenge winners!

Their experiment ideas – from measuring greenhouse gases to mitigating lunar dust – will fly to the edge of space on NASA-sponsored flights with @blueorigin, @UPAerospace, or @RavenAerostar: https://t.co/0uO2Y6977V

Hi! Kind request: please consider making a donation to Marquette's rocketry team. We're trying to build Level 1 certified rockets this summer and make another successful run at TARC in 2022. Please share with friends and family to get the word out! Thanks! https://t.co/SPpFNLXX0P
