NATIONAL SUMMARY:
Rain associated with Bill will bring the threat for flooding to
much of New England today, while rain tapers off in the morning from New York
to Washington. Showers and storms will stretch westward across the Ohio Valley.
Scorching heat will continue across the Southeast. A few storms will impact the northern
Plains, while the West stays dry.
Making their case for space
HONOLULU — Data-
collecting tools designed
and built by University of
Hawaii community col-
lege students and housed
in an aluminum cube
smaller than a shoe box
will soon be launched
into space as part of a
NASA-funded
rocket
flight.
The
nondescript
cube houses electron-
ics the students have
designed to collect and
analyze
information
about the sun’s ultravi-
olet rays, the Honolulu
Star-Advertiser reported
Friday.
“It will measure the
sun’s ultraviolet light
above the Earth’s atmo-
sphere. We want to know
the total amount of ultra-
violet light there is and
eventually how it fluctu-
ates over time because
that will have an influ-
ence on the Earth’s atmo-
sphere and eventually
on climate,” said proj-
ect manager Joe Ciotti,
a professor of physics,
astronomy and math at
Windward Community
College.
The project is an
example of the universi-
ty’s efforts to foster stu-
dent interest in STEM
fields (science, technol-
ogy, engineering and
mathematics) through
project-based learning.
Sixteen students from
Honolulu, Windward,
Kapiolani and Kauai
community colleges have
been collaborating on
the project — dubbed
Project Imua — since
the fall, when NASA
awarded the campuses a
BY NANEA KALANI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
two-year $500,000 grant
as part of its Space Grant
Competitive Opportunity
for Partnerships with
Community Colleges and
Technical Schools.
Ciotti said the grant
wasn’t project-specif-
ic, but instead aimed
at exposing students to
hands-on STEM expe-
riences in aerospace
engineering
through
scholarships.
Another objective, he
said, was to test out a
model for having a con-
sortium of communi-
ty colleges design and
test small experiment
packages for launch
into space, or payloads,
for possible collabora-
tion with UH-Manoa’s
Hawaii Space Flight
Laboratory. The research
facility partners with the
Navy’s Pacific Missile
Range Facility on Kauai.
The Project Imua unit
will be placed inside a
rocket measuring four
stories high that will be
launched in August from
NASA’s Wallops Flight
Facility in Virginia.
The project will be sent
approximately 100 miles
up into space before
being deployed with four
other payloads designed
by students at mainland
universities, including
Virginia Tech and the
University of Nebraska.
The UH campuses are
the only community col-
leges participating in the
launch.
The student experi-
ments will be in flight for
15 to 20 minutes before
falling back toward
Earth and landing in the
Atlantic Ocean. On the
way down the payloads
will be exposed to blaz-
ing-hot temperatures
reaching 3,000 degrees
Fahrenheit and moisture
from the ocean, requir-
ing students to complete
a litany of durability
tests.
“We want to do all
the stress we can pos-
sibly do before we take
it up there,” said project
mentor Jacob Hudson,
who lectures in physics,
astronomy, engineering
and rocketry at WCC.
“We don’t want to have
wires disconnecting or
anything cracking on the
way up or down. We’ve
spun it, baked it, shook
it, and so far it’s survived
everything.”
About half of the
students working on
the project assembled
Thursday at UH-Manoa
to
perform
what’s
known as a shake test.
The Project Imua unit
was bolted to a machine
that simulated the
intense vibrations of a
rocket launch and flight.
After the test the cube
was opened, and the
small electronics were
hooked up to comput-
ers to ensure they still
worked.
