"First Flight" (Honorable Mention)

Images of Research Competition

Editor's Notes

Images of Research (IOR) is an opportunity for current Murray State students from all disciplines to capture, share, and present the essence of their research in images. IOR showcases and preserves students' research in digital form and fosters engagement and creative endeavors. The jurors extend their thanks to the students who entered work for this year's competition. The entries came from a wide range of disciplines including Agricultural Education, Agronomy, Biology, Design Engineering Technology, Fisheries/Aquatic Biology, Occupational Safety and Health, and Wildlife Conservation Biology. The jurors' decision-making process was challenging as the submitted work was engaging, visually stimulating, and excellent representations of Murray State student research.

Abstract

Description: This is an aerial view of the Icarus 9 on its first tethered test flight. The payload of the Icarus 9 is attached to the parachute and balloon all separated by 2 ft. of paracord. The high altitude balloon satellite pictured here is expected to operate at 120,000 feet and withstand the 120-degree temperature swings all the while recording breathtaking images from nearly 20 miles above Earth's surface.
