SPHERES Zero Robotics Program Student Registrations Due by 9/5/11

NASA and DARPA have announced a high school student competition known as the Zero Robotics Challenge.  Bowling ball sized spherical satellites are flown inside the International Space Station; high school students will be required to write an algorithm for the flight, and 27 winners will be chosen to have them executed by ISS scientists at a future date, after a final ground testing by MIT in October.  High school student teams must register for the competition by no later than 5 September 2011.  For more details, visit http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2011/jun/HQ_11-189_Zero_Robotics.html and http://zerorobotics.mit.edu/.
