On August 9, 2010, in Reston, VA, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) announced the winners of its 2010 AIAA Regional Student Conference Technical Paper Competition.
Recent AAE graduates, Katherine Brumbaugh and Chris Spreen collaborated with Professor James Longuski following his AAE 450 Spring 2010 ‘Senior Spacecraft Design class’ – where the team presented 'Project Kronos'. They took second place in the Undergraduate Division with their paper ‘Exploring Titan with an Orbiter, Airship and Lake Lander: A Feasibility Study.’
Chandra Sekhar Martha, a graduate student studying under Professors Blaisdell and Lyrintzis, took 1st place in the Region III Graduate Division. Chandra will advance on to Orlando, Florida for the International Competition to be held in conjunction with the Aerospace Sciences Meeting in January 2011.
Congratulations to all for a job well done!
