Oren Harper and Garrett Farrar prepare for the Air Force Association StellarXplorers space system design competition in November 2016. Both students at Coffee County Central High School are members of the Air Force Junior ROTC. They recently competed in March as the Coffee County High School Team One and placed second in the competition for the East Region. The High School had two teams who competed in the Prestige Division. As part of the competition, teams must present solutions to a typical space design problem, such as orbit determination, satellite component selection and launch vehicle planning, as outlined in a scenario describing the system’s mission and constraints. The AEDC Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Center coordinator, Jere Matty, and the Women in Defense membership director, Kim Nelson, provided support that enabled the team to compete.

This 1957 photo of the Main Control Room-for the Propulsion Wind Tunnel’s transonic circuit shows manometer banks at left, for recording pressures from the tunnel’s test section. At the far rear is a closed-circuit television monitor which shows the test item on its screen. The tunnel’s chief operator is seated in the center of the room. (AEDC photo)
This image shows a laser curtain that was installed on a 500-ton Cincinnati Press Brake due to a recommendation by a team member. Several AEDC craft workers were involved with the installation. The press brake is used to bend steel plates up to three-quarters of an inch thick and 14-feet long. The safety concern for the apparatus is that the press uses large flywheels and once it is triggered, it can’t be easily stopped. If a person comes into close proximity to the moving parts, they could be injured. (AEDC photo)
