Day 4 - Loading the Experiment






Flexibility is the Word of the Week.  The first zero-gravity flight was scheduled and then delayed and then cancelled again due to weather conditions.  Although emotions of the scheduled flyers have been up and down like the parabolas that they were scheduled to fly, we are SO very thankful that NASA's first concern is for the safety of all involved.  This afternoon has involved preparing the experiment for flight.  The experiment was weighed and secured to the glove box that it will fly in on the plane.  Our NASA mentor, Jeremy Hart, has been with us for a couple of hours guiding us through this process.  Now, we wait....wait to see if the weather will cooperate.  We will keep you posted!
