As part of the five seventh graders from Hyde Park Middle School, Jaiden Reddy and Isha Shah, win TI and NASA’s mISSion imaginaTIon design challenge with innovative solutions for a journey to Mars.

A team of five seventh graders from Hyde Park Middle School in Las Vegas, Nevada has won the mISSion imaginaTIon design challenge from Texas Instruments (TI) and NASA. The national competition asked students from across the country to propose solutions to challenges astronauts would face on a journey to Mars. The questions were based on the challenges International Space Station (ISS) commander Scott Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko encountered in the first year-long mission aboard the ISS.

The winning team of students proposed a vertical garden to capitalize on limited space to feed the astronauts and developed intricate plans for reinforcing the spacecraft’s outer hull to protect against space debris.  Click here for the complete story…
