Tuesday July 17, 2012 - Poker Flats/ Pipeline

On our excursion away from campus the team went to check out the Poker Flats Research Center. This center is known for its atmospheric science through the use of UAV aircrafts. They will launch a rocket that is equipped with a camera as well as other instruments that take readings of the Aurora Borealis and the atmosphere. As a team we were able to go behind the scenes on a private tour and see where the magic is captured. 

We also dropped by the pipeline to see the mindful engineering that took place when designing the incredible structure.
