This class has been tasked with designing, constructing and launching a remote sensing platform into near space and finding applications for the imagery acquired. The project is continually evolving and this blog will be a forum to publish our progress.

"The sculpture, mounted on a base of black granite at the southeast entrance to Nichols Hall on west campus, is drawn from the Greek myth of Daedalus and his son, Icarus, who tried to escape from the isle of Crete by flying on wings whose feathers were attached with wax. Icarus was so exhilarated by flying that he rose too close to the sun, which melted the wax; he is portrayed as he plunges from the sky. The statue’s inscription says it represents “the willingness of mankind to experiment and to venture into the unknown even though such quests may be dangerous.” This is a very fitting spot to launch the balloon for Project GeoHawk!
