T-0 -- The Proposal Has Cleared the Tower

The Ohio State AstroNuts have submitted their proposal for Micro-g NExT!

Last minute design changes and late nights are what we'll remember from this part, but we've also all enjoyed this part of the challenge. We developed an anchoring device for astronauts to use on an asteroid or other low gravity celestial objects. A mission to an asteroid is part of NASA's journey to Mars (which you can read about here: http://www.nasa.gov/content/nasas-journey-to-mars)

We have designed not only a tool that astronauts can use in space, but also an outreach plan to expose our community to NASA and encourage fellow students to participate in Micro-g NExT. It's all detailed in the proposal, which NASA now has.

We'll hear back from them in December about whether we were selected or not. Fingers crossed!

Godspeed, AstroNuts.

Go get some sleep.
