VIPS408E
Leading with Vertically Integrated Projects; Engineering on the Edge of Space
Students must apply through the VIP@Maryland application process in order to join a VIP team. Design, build, test, and fly engineering experiments to the Edge of Space and beyond! Most of our flights are on latex weather balloons which can go up to an altitude of 100,000 ft or above, but we may also fly on high-altitude long-duration NASA balloons and sounding rockets. A common theme in all this research is designing light weight and low-cost experiments that can produce meaningful data and results in flight. We also like to share our enthusiasm for space engineering with kids, so we have a number of ongoing outreach activities that we encourage all participants to get involved in.
