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 . Ivan Cagnani Physics student University of Bologna PS The paragraph about the scientific utilization of the OMGL is just very indicative and absolutely not to be taken as definitive. |
