NASA interns start work on future CubeSat mission

On Physics.org Claire Saravia talks to Pat Kilroy N8PK about this
summer's interns at the Goddard Space Flight Center.

This summer, a group of interns at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
in Greenbelt, Md., hoped to make their impact on the center last more
than their 10-week term.

Under the Applied Engineering and Technology Directorate, also known
as AETD, a team of eight college and three high school students
started designing a CubeSat satellite that could one day be launched
into space.

"We threw them into the frying pan," said AETD project manager and
lead co-mentor Pat Kilroy. "They had 10 weeks to do what could take
NASA a year or so depending on the scope of the project."
