Here is the team in action! We started off attending NASA IWS 2024, a conference primarily reporting progress and results of research on safe, productive, and efficient human spaceflight. We also visited the Johnson Space Center to learn more about NASA in general.

During the second half of our project, we traveled all the way to California to work onsite with NASA researchers. This allowed us to rapidly test with our end-users and get quick feedback.
