πŸš€βœˆοΈ Exploring the World of Aviation at FISTA Innovation Park!

This past weekend, Teamwork Makes the Dream Work hosted "Exploring the World of Aviation | The Simon Berry Project" at the FISTA in Lawton, OK β€” a fantastic event designed to inspire high school seniors and college students to reach new heights in their future careers.

A big shoutout to our STEM Coordinator, Sherri Buntin, and undergrad student, Loren Stearman, for giving students an exciting virtual tour of our lab and the incredible projects our engineers are working on. Each student also left with their very own glider to keep the inspiration soaring! πŸ›©οΈβœ¨

Thank you to the Simon Berry Project, Teamwork Makes the Dream Work in collaboration with The Next Step TLP, Inc., and the FISTA, for hosting such an impactful event! 🌟

πŸŽ‰ Highlighting Our Students' Success at AGU 2024! 🌟

In December 2024, two of our incredible undergraduate students, Blake Haskins and Matthew Ellis, proudly represented OAIRE at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Conference in Washington, D.C. They presented a poster in the Tethered Aerosystems session at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. This was a fantastic learning opportunity, and we couldn't be prouder of their hard work and dedication!

✨ About the Research:
Last summer, Blake, Matthew, Henry Haslam and Maddie Hand worked together on a 5-week kite tail study. Their research explored how kite tails improve stability during flight, combining theory with hands-on experiments. They:

-Investigated well-known kite tail designs.
-Conducted flight tests at OSU's Unmanned Aircraft Flight Station (UAFS).
-Observed tail behavior and collected atmospheric data with NASA's Aeropod.
-Designed and fabricated two new kite tails, followed by additional flight testing.
-Their efforts provided valuable insights into how and why certain kite tails enhance flight performance.

This research is part of a 5-year NASA-funded grant to expose students to NASA technology and enhance their data collection/visualization skills. With just one year left on the grant, we’re already looking forward to another exciting summer of kite research and dreaming of securing future grants to keep this amazing work going!

Let’s celebrate the achievements of these talented students and their bright futures ahead! πŸš€

The OSU OAIRE team is studying how the Atlantic Ocean's atmosphere interacts with the eastern U.S., focusing on sea surface temperature fronts that influence wind patterns and moisture transport.

Cold water slows winds more than warm water, causing divergence that impacts atmospheric dynamics, cloud formation and weather downstream. Using Gulf Stream fronts as a natural lab, the team will launch coordinated balloon flights the week of Jan. 6, 2025, to measure wind divergence, curl, and humidity, guided by satellite data.

This research is crucial for improving weather forecasting and understanding climate systems. This directly benefits communities and industries reliant on accurate predictions for agriculture, disaster preparedness, and infrastructure planning.

❄️ Snow day shenanigans at OAIRE!
While the labs were quiet, we're out building snow drones, strategizing snowball flights and debating if sleds should be aerodynamic. We can't resist a good experiment! β˜ƒοΈβœˆοΈ

KCNSC Rocket Launches at the Nevada National Security Sites. 11/21/2024

πŸš€ Mission Accomplished! πŸš€

In June and August 2024, OSU students completed four successful rocket launches at the Nevada National Security Sites (NNSS)! These launches, carrying payloads from Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), collected valuable stimulus data on new materials, supporting KCNSC’s Stockpile Modernization and Sustainment efforts.

Huge shoutout to our OAIRE student technicians who made this possible: Kylie Fisher, Loren and Gavin Stearman, Trey Dorrell, Carter Swallow, Paxton Bradford, and Ryan Narrell! πŸ‘

A special thanks to our Lead Engineer for this project at OAIRE- Andrew Walsh
