Podcast appearances and mentions of Wiley J Larson

Have you ever wondered how we can send probes all the way to Mercury? Can a spacecraft catch a free ride in space without using extra fuel? Jupiter flyby is a pretty cool term but what does it mean? To get answers to these questions, tune in to our latest episode that's all about gravity assist maneuvers aka slingshot maneuvers!

In this weeks episode, we talk with Parker, an amazing high school student working on creating and building a miniature satellite to launch into space! This young woman is not afraid of hard challenges and will inspire listeners young and old. She proves that young people really want to be challenged by hard things and that the only limit is what we think of ourselves.   Listeners can be a part of her project; just listen in to learn how!     Show Notes Parker is a rising junior in high school.  She has been interested in STEM for as long as she can remember, especially Aerospace Engineering.  She was recently accepted into a highly selective program at her school named the Odyssey Scholars Program, a two-year program in which students do an in-depth study of a subject of their choice.  For this program, she will be building a CubeSat, or a miniaturized satellite, that will measure the magnetic field of the Earth.
