The Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium (WSGC) is looking for up to six full-time students from any Affiliate Institution, majoring in a science or engineering discipline, to join the science payload team of our high-altitude balloon project, Elijah.
Interested students need not have experience, a pre-formed team or an initial idea for a payload project, only the desire to work with other students to conceive of and carry out a payload project. The WSGC will form the team and provide the launch personnel and vehicle, as well as a mentor.
Award: Each intern will receive a $4,000 award, paid in increments. In addition, lodging at the MSOE dorms may be paid for students who do not live in the area.
Word Period: Approximately 13 May 2013 to 16 August 2013, with some data analysis to be performed through December 2013.
Location: Meetings of the team will take place in Milwaukee or occasionally Green Bary, WI. Students must be able to provide their own transportation.
