We would appreciate all the support possible from our CT community.

The project entitled the “Crew Personalized Mission Reminder Tool” uses mission data from NASA’s Playbook mission planning tool to create a personalized reminder tool for the astronauts providing critical reminders for astronauts in the space station. This innovative program developed by these students allows them to personalize the much regimented schedule of each astronaut to be self-monitored and ensure optimal efficiency and safety of each crew
member.
