What can i do with a mechanical engineering degree:Undergraduates Inward Space! Well, Inward Microgravity On A Nasa Plane

A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards zero-G over the weekend on a special NASA plane. They were studying how biofuels dismiss inwards space. Their enquiry could Pb to improve dismiss extinguishers for the International Space Station together with to a greater extent than efficient combustion engines hither on earth. Nico Montoya, a sophomore majoring inwards aerospace engineering, took some fourth dimension to response our questions nearly the mission on the Jacobs School Facebook page today. Nico, who is also an IDEA Scholar, was on the team's basis crew.

The Q&A alongside him is below.

To larn to a greater extent than nearly the squad together with their mission, become to:

    Nico Montoya Present 
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering Great! So...first off...were you lot inwards the airplane doing the experiments or on the ground?
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    Nico Montoya I was a role of the basis crew, nosotros were able to alone acquire 3 of our squad members to fly.
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering Why would folks desire to know nearly how biofuels dismiss inwards space? Are at that topographic point exceptional applications? Or is this to a greater extent than basic research? or both?
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    Nico Montoya A piffling chip of both, our exceptional applications were to improve dismiss extinguishers on the ISS together with practice to a greater extent than efficient & security combustion engines hither on earth. We were testing for the burning rates of biofuels because nosotros truly dont know how something is going to react without gravity until you lot truly exam it.
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering Can you lot say us anything nearly how the flames truly behaved without gravity? (I'm sure you're working on a report...but were at that topographic point full general impressions from your squad mates you lot tin share?)
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    Nico Montoya Yes nosotros were truly able to accept the footage together with information together with picket it forthwith on our computers shipping service flight! The flames truly acquire noticably larger together with inwards theory are suppose to plough into a perfect sphere, instead of the tear drib shape that is normal on earth. Due to their beingness random fluid menstruation the flame pointed inwards whatever administration that those fluids blew within the box but to a greater extent than ofttimes than non making a spherical shape.
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering That's great. I await frontward to sharing the video alongside folks. Is anyone on the squad planning to maintain next this describe of research?
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering BTW, if anyone else has a question, experience gratuitous to shipping service it inwards the comments...
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    Nico Montoya Yes nosotros volition hopefully hold out coming out alongside a video soon. Most of the squad volition hold out continuing together with conception on doing the experiment i time to a greater extent than side past times side twelvemonth alongside a few alterations, but beingness to a greater extent than ofttimes than non aerospace majors this was to a greater extent than of an experience on the procedure of proposal writing, NASA qualifications, going through Flight readiness reviews together with truly carrying out the experiment. That whole experience is to a greater extent than of what these programs are for but nosotros practice write upwards a shipping service flying study together with submit it to NASA to usage at their disposal.

  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering I saw they liked the thread...so I thought they powerfulness hold out on...Scratch that...they were merely tagged...my bad...
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering So Nico, direct hold you lot had much interaction w/ Prof. Forman Williams on this project? Any feedback from him on your results yet?
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    Nico Montoya Exactly! This whole twelvemonth alongside this squad & NASA was an experience I volition never forget together with volition practice goodness us inwards our hereafter careers.

    UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering Nico, what twelvemonth are you? Are you lot dorsum on campus inwards the fall?
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    Nico Montoya He was a non bad mentor to us together with truly was the i to come upwards up alongside the thought with Sam to practice this. He would come upwards through together with banking concern jibe inwards on our status together with laissez passer us a few suggestions, together with nosotros volition hold out sending him our post-flight analysis shortly when nosotros complete our report. He came past times nearly a calendar week earlier nosotros left to Houston together with helped us alongside some crucial fixes to our experiment equally well!
  • A squad of undergraduates from the Jacobs School got to wing inwards null Undergraduates inwards Space! Well, inwards Microgravity on a NASA Plane
    Nico Montoya I merely finished my 2d twelvemonth together with then I was the baby/rookie on the team, nosotros had i merely graduate together with the residue of the squad going to hold out seniors.
