GVSU Students Test Device at NASA
June 14, 2017
Engineering students from Grand Valley State University recently returned from a trip to NASA's Johnson Space Center, where they tested a device they built for astronauts to use during future space missions.
The trip in May was part of NASA's Micro-g NExT Design Challenge, which tasks students to design and build a device that addresses a space exploration challenge. In December, the Grand Valley North Stars' proposal for a surface sampling device was one of 30 selected to move on to the second phase of the challenge. The device is for astronauts to use to gather and contain multiple samples of surface particles.
