June 7th - A 1:1 model of the RTGs used on Galileo, Cassini and other deep space missions. It is a simple electrical generator which obtains its power from radioactive decay. It is presently the only viable energy source for deep space missions.
|
June 8th - Aero-gel, also known as "solid smoke". It contains about 99% air, which makes it very light.
|
June 9th - Aero-gel is made as the same material as glass (silicon). Even though it is very strong (it can hold about 2000 times it's own weight), it is also fragile and can easily break.
|
June 10th - These satellites are mounted on an air-hockey style platform, which allows it to easily move around. It is used to test constellation control algorithms (I wonder why they don't do that on a computer). I my oppinion these would be great for demonstrations at science fairs and museums!
