A year in orbit: ISS deployment tests radiation detectors for future space missions
The predawn darkness on a cool Florida night was shattered by the ignition of nine Merlin engines on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The thrust of the engines shook the ground miles away. From a distance, the rocket appeared to slowly rise above the horizon. For the cargo onboard, the launch was anything but gentle, as the ignition of liquid oxygen generated more than 1.5 million pounds of force. After the rocket had been out of sight for several minutes, the booster dramatically returned to Earth with several sonic booms in a captivating show of engineering designed to make space travel less expensive and more sustainable.

ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.
The ANS Student Sections Committee invites you to join us for a workshop on graduate fellowships. We will open with a few general tips and tricks for writing a great application. Then, we will give an overview of at least eight fellowships you can apply for. We will also have administrators for a few of these fellowships attend and speak about their specific programs.
We will wrap up the session by going over ANS scholarships, helping you select the ones that are right for you, and showing you how to start a new application.
This is a workshop, so come prepared to ask questions and take notes!
