Texas A&M engineers are taking traditions into new and exciting environments—even beyond Earth’s gravity. Aerospace Engineering professor Dr. Ana Diaz Artiles and her team partnered with the European Space Agency this summer to experience zero gravity conditions on a parabolic flight trip. That’s where bioastronautics and human performance lab member Cort Reinarz let his Aggie ring float through the air onboard. This isn’t the first time an Aggie ring has gone gravity free, and it definitely won’t be the last!

As humanity gets closer to long-term space travel, researchers have started to raise concerns about mental health stability among the astronauts who will be making the trip.

A study led by Texas A&M Associate Professor Dr. Ana Diaz Artiles has proposed a treatment using VR headsets and a compact scent machine. These combined machines allow users to be immersed in Earth scenes alongside preloaded smells to create a more realistic experience. The team got the chance to test this technology on a U.S. Navy warship in the summer, yielding encouraging results for the future of this method.

Join us in welcoming a new member of the faculty, Dr. Trevor Wolf!
Dr. Wolf comes to us fresh off a post doc position at the University of Colorado Boulder, and has joined the department as a part of the new Space Engineering major. He brings expertise in several areas, including information-driven tasking and planning under uncertainty, spacecraft guidance, and machine learning for astronomical data analysis. We're excited to see what he'll do as a new part of the Aggie family!

From attending orientation on the first day of their new studies to giving tours after several years as a part of the department, we’re thankful to the graduate students that keep Aerospace Engineering moving in new and fascinating directions.

We're so happy to have them back on campus, and we’ll see the rest of you soon for the beginning of the semester!

Aerospace Engineering Ph.D. Priscilla Nizio Ho responded to an email sent to all potential graduates with a speech she began on her phone, which led to an amazing moment this past weekend where she delivered the Student Appreciation speech on behalf of all graduates at her ceremony.

She is now on her way to a job at NASA and used the speech to thank her peers, faculty adviser and partner for giving her a place to grow and pushing her to be the best student and person she could be.

Congratulations to all of the graduates, and gig ‘em!
