A wide panorama of PSU, taken from the top of a parking complex.

A 12 photo panorama of PSU, taken from Mark Weislogel's lab (our playground) in the 5th floor of the engineering building on a particularly beautiful day. Note the vacancy of the parking lot and the university in general: weekends rarely prevented us from working.

Houston, TX


Photo taken before leaving for the airport. That's Aaron's wife driving away.

Jake, really happy for some reason; and Ben, really pissed for some reason.

Working on the apparatus shortly after arriving at Houston.

This is the fat guy who let us in.

Jake, really proud of a foam hat.

Jennifer and Aaron in front of the KC-135.

Aaron entirely ready to have most of the air sucked out of him.

Panorama of the Neutral Bouyancy Laboratory.

Another panorama of the NBL.

NASA liquor?

Pumping liquid through the apparatus for the first time.

Aaron took this panorama without knowing. This is Hangar 990, where the C-9 and two WB-57s live and where we spent most of our daylight time.

A nice shot of the C-9 during loading.

Jake and Aaron, just before taking off.

Jake pretending to be performing microgravity research.

Takeoff.

Jake and Aaron, not pretending.

It's hard not to go up side down, it just kind of happens on its own.

A panorama made while waiting for Aaron and Jake to return.

Another panorama. That airplane is the WB-57, a high altitude aircraft used for weather research and space shuttle photography. Only two now exist.

PlaySPACE?

Jake keeping order in the Apollo Mission Control Center.

This is the kind of hard working American that put our flag on the moon.

Now Jennifer pretends to be the flight director.

Note how much more she looks like the flight director when not posing.

Ben and Jennifer talking to Don Thomas, an austronaut.

Jennifer and Ben just before takeoff.

Getting used to weightlessness.

Things are looking good so far.

Group photo.

Jennifer taking her time on a very long survey.

Houston is a wasteful city. This was spotted at PDX on return, a welcome sight.

An animation was made around January 2007 for the Evergreen presentation. Though (very) out of date as far as our project is concerned, it has a nice segment on the C-9.

A popular warning label put on the rear of our apparatus.

Aaron and Jake landing.

Jennifer and Ben taking off.

An article appearing in the The Gresham Outlook.

All 128 tests performed may be downloaded in XviD format.

Finally, our flight videos are available again in XviD format.
