PISCES Winners aka We're Going to Hawaii

Our "Major Tom: Lunar Cargo Transport" design has secured us 1st place in the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) Student Design Competition. We've started this blog to keep anyone and everyone informed as we complete the work for our final presentation and paper for the 2009 PISCES Conference in Hawaii (November 2-6). Thanks to all that contributed and we hope to represent Wisconsin well, most likely in red and white Hawaiian shirts with the matching leis.

from PISCES:
"PISCES has selected the University of Madison, Wisconsin’s report “Major Tom: Lunar Cargo Transport” as the winner of this year’s PISCES Student Design Program. Competition was very stiff and we would liked to have selected several additional projects; however, budget limitations due to the current financial problems prevent us from doing so. I thank all of the teams who contributed to this project and their faculty advisors for putting the time and energy into the competition. We hope that you will continue to have an interest in PISCES and contribute to next year’s Student Design Competition.

With best regards to all,

Mike Duke and the PISCES Team"
