IntroductionSpace activities around the world in 2012 have been historic and exciting – a good time toinvigorate student interest in aerospace. This paper describes how a new chapter was formed inthe SEDS organization (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space) and how a real-world experiment was conducted with both technical and non-technical students, having the goalof sparking greater interest in both. In addition to the scientific aspect, this paper also addressesthe educational outcomes for the 10 participants in the experiment.Our campus lacks an aerospace engineering
