UCSD Aerospace Engineering Program

2008-09 Events and Highlights

• Spring 2009 - MAE 155B Rocket Launch
  
  
• AIAA Microgravity Project
  
  
• Fall 2008 - MAE 2 "Near Space" Balloon Satellite Project - This year the MAE 2 course added a "near-space" project for the AE students. The students designed and built payload boxes placed on a weather balloon and launched into near space (85,000 feet). Experiments include evaluation of solar cell efficiency at altitude, pictures, and the survival of astronauts (cockroaches) to cold, vacuum, and radiation. This was a tremendous success for the students. View Project Picture Book.
