2008 Undergraduate Space Research Symposium April 19th, 2008

Thank you to all the students who submitted papers, presented their work or had a demonstration.  You helped make this year's Symposium great.  We will continue to grow the Symposium next year with a greater number of industry invited.  Also more students will present their space and aerospace related research and engineering from around Colorado.

  The 2009 Symposium will be Saturday April 18th, 2009.

All papers, presentations, and pictures from the Symposium are included below.

Thank you to our Sponsors and Judges for helping to encourage great research and development from around Colorado.
