Default Opensource Microgravity Laboratory - volunteering students neededfor an international scientific project

To all Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and other Natural
Sciences students (and young researchers) worldwide: this is a very
early call for volunteers for an "university level" international
project (comparable to the nanosatellites built by students or ESA SSETI
satellites).
Our Nanogravity Labs (www.nanogravity.com) international students group
is starting a community for the collaborative design, construction and
scientific utilization of a low cost microgravity facility. This is an
open source engineering and scientific project, but with limitations
respect to the original "Open Source" philosophy due to security and
safety reasons.
The finished facility will be used by the volunteering developers for
fundamental research in physics, biology, chemistry and engineering.

If you are interested, you can check our website:
http://omgl.org
Keep in mind that we are in a "very early stage" and all suggestions by
all visitors, not just possible volunteers, are more then welcome!
Please use our visitors forum for that. Volunteers will use a dotProject
software instead of the forum for online collaboration.
In the technical section, you will be able to see the slides of the
presentation, read the paper and use a very simple Java simulator of the
freefalling flight. Of course these are just the initial ideas and they
that will be greatly improved and altered with time as the project is
advanced.
Thanks for reading, and please send any email about volunteering to
.

PS The paragraph about the scientific utilization of the OMGL is just
very indicative and absolutely not to be taken as definitive.
