The shock-sensing probe is designed to measure the signature and strength of shock waves in flight. The probe was validated during dual F-15 [...]
4 Min Read NASA Student Challenge Prepares Future Designers for Lunar Missions At NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, the next generation of lunar explorers and engineers are already hard at work. Some started with sketchbooks and others worked with computer-aided design files, but all had a vision of how design could thrive in [...]
Keith Barr was born only months before the historic Apollo 11 landing in 1969. While he was too young to witness that giant leap for mankind, the moment sparked a lifelong fascination that set him on a path to design technology that will carry astronauts farther into space than ever before. Today, Barr serves as [...]
