Space Grant projects by nature are ambitious. A team of undergrad students taking on the trials of NASA aligned research projects might sound like a long and frustrating road leading to the unknown. Fortunately, we have the help of those who have pursued these endeavors, overcome similar challenges, and put a Space Grant project to their name during their undergrad years. Our Alumni mentors make the impossible seem possible by volunteering time, resources, and knowledge from their own educations, trials, errors, and successes. We build on their wealth of experience to go farther and achieve greater heights.
