Microgravity and Space Processes TC Webinar: Analog Mission to Mars – HERA C7M2 (AIAA Member Exclusive)

Analog Mission to Mars (HERA C7M2)

AIAA Members: make sure you are signed in to the site  with your member credentials to be able to register.

Featuring Special Guest Lecturer, Jason Lee, University of Connecticut

Analog Mission to Mars (HERA C7M2) Description: Jason Lee participated in NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) Campaign 7 Mission 2. Along with 3 other crew members he spent 45 days in the habitat. The purpose of the analog was to simulate a mission to mars, conducting experiments to study the effects of isolation, confinement in a small space, and simulated remote conditions. Throughout the mission, the crew was responsible for carrying out various individual and team based operations.

Dr. Lee will discuss his experience working with the crew and mission control, as well as the observed effects of isolation and communication delays.

James Sergeant: X-59 Speaker Event

We are excited to host James Sergeant and his experience with the X-59 this Thursday, 5PM, in the UTDesign Makerspace!

James Sergeant has had an extensive career at Lockheed Martin (Skunkworks) and is a current flight test engineer at Virgin Galactic. He has worked with the development of the X-59 and is excited to talk about his experiences!

The X-59 is an experimental super-sonic aircraft meant to revolutionize modern aviation. The X-59 was developed specifically to soften the “thump” associated with surpassing speeds of Mach 1 (super-sonic). Join us to learn more about how this aircraft was developed and how it is ushering in a new era of flight!

See you there!
