The LSWT congratulates Hannah Green and Melanie Peavy on their upcoming graduation from Texas A&M both with a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering! Hannah has been a student worker with the LSWT since fall of 2019 and will be continuing on as a drill bit field engineer for Baker Hughes. Melanie has been with us since fall of 2020 and will be transitioning to Bell Helicopter as an aeronautics engineer. Both students have been a great asset to the LSWT over the past few years and we wish them all the best in their future careers!

It is always great to see former LSWT undergraduate student workers continuing their engineering work after graduation! Bryce Moran seen working on an Orion spacecraft model in the National Transonic Facility wind tunnel at NASA Langley.
When NASA astronauts return from the Moon on Artemis missions, a heat shield will protect the Orion spacecraft from the intense heat and pressure of re-entry through Earth’s atmosphere. But what happens to that heat shield once things slow down?
That’s what a team of researchers at NASA Langley are hoping to learn from a series of tests in the National Transonic Facility wind tunnel. Learn more: https://go.nasa.gov/3Ap5TMk
