MU-SPIN In The News
Interns Boost Mercury Space Mission - APL's MESSENGER mission is getting a boost this summer from the talents of 14 college undergraduate students in the Minority-University SPace Interdisciplinary Network (MU-SPIN), a program designed to train NASA's next generation of minority scientists and engineers. The student interns, from schools across the country, are developing their technical skills by working with the experts in spacecraft integration and testing, mission design, mission operations, mechanical support and Web site management. MESSENGER, a NASA Discovery mission to orbit the planet Mercury, is scheduled to launch next spring. MU-SPIN is a MESSENGER Education and Public Outreach team partner. For more information on the mission, visit http://messenger.jhuapl.edu.
