  The Little Satellite That Could

  JOUR460: NASA Space Grant Spring 2018

  In this class you'll use your skill s in interactive web visualization, gaming, digital storytelling and multimedia design and production to tell the true tale of something awesome - a remarkable little satellite, born in an aeronautical engineering lab here on campus and scheduled to be blasted into space in the fall of 2018. The little satellite - about the size of a kitchen blunder - will spend a year doing NASA funded research, reliably following orders beamed from Illinois' mission control center. Then, slowly, a decaying orbit and the friction of earth's atmosphere will conspire to burn the little satellite to a cinder, terminating it and its mission. All that's left will be the science. And the true tale you tell.

  Instructor: Charles "Stretch" Ledford. stretch@illinois.edu

  Meetings: Tuesdays, 9am-1150am, 13 Gregory Hall
