Flying High

"The great thing about the SEED program is that you are working on a project that is of great interest to NASA. You complete a design for a problem that is specified by one of the NASA field centers. They want the data; they use the data."

Prof. Kevin Crosby
Microgravity Team Faculty Advisor
