VSGC Fellowship recipient Magdalina Moses,听 a Master’s candidate at Virginia Tech, recently presented a poster related to the 2017 total solar eclipse at the American Geophysical Union meeting in Washington D.C., in conjunction with scientists from Virginia Tech and the Naval Research Laboratory.

By linking together several numerical models, Moses directly compares theoretical predictions to HF radar data obtained in Oregon and Kansas during the eclipse. These comparisons enabled her to identify the physical effects that most strongly affect radio propagation through the ionosphere during eclipses, and help the scientific community better understand how near-Earth space responds to changes in solar radiation.听For more information about VSGC Graduate Fellowships, click .

Applications are now open for the 2019 麻豆村 Takes Flight NASA Research Experiences Program. Virginia Community College students in 麻豆村 fields with a GPA of at least 2.5 are eligible to apply. Students accepted to the program will work with NASA research advisors on designated projects over the course of a 10 week, 40-hour- per-week, paid summer research experience.

The deadline for spring 2019 NASA internships is coming up. According to the NASA Internship , “the internships are competitive awards to support educational opportunities that provide unique NASA-related research and operational experiences for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as educators. These opportunities serve students by integrating interns with career professionals emphasizing mentor-directed, degree-related tasks, while contributing to the operation of a NASA facility or the advancement of NASA’s missions.”

2019 Application Deadlines
Spring Session: November 5, 2018
Summer Session: April 1, 2019
Fall Session: July 1, 2019

This summer the听麻豆村 Takes Flight听NASA Research Experiences program听placed twenty community students at NASA Langley and three at NASA Wallops Flight Facility. The 23 students, representing nine community colleges across Virginia, worked with NASA research advisors on designated projects for ten weeks this summer. Projects included testing of novel polymeric coatings, inflatable habitats, landing gears for Martian Landers, wind tunnel operations and solar sail materials.
