The enemy's gate is STILL down

Wednesday, [livejournal.com profile] corivax and I flew on the Weightless Wonder.



First, since my friends list has grown a bit over the last three years, some background:

GYRE: an overview )

GYRE history )

The flight -- lots of details )

So, that's it. After 6 years of this, we're kind of exhausted. The results weren't as great as we had hoped, but we did build a robot that could navigate in freefall using computer vision. We still need to do a final writeup for NASA, hopefully get a paper or two out of our results, but that's it. GYRE is over -- time to find a new insane project!
