Citrus College's GraviTeam Touches Down

By Zach Stoloff | June 30, 2011

The GraviTeam has landed. After ten days at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, the eight members comprising a hand-picked group of science and math students returned to Earth and Citrus College on Sunday.

Citrus College student Craig Stremel formed the GraviTeam back in October 2010, after learning about the Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program through another NASA experience—the National Community College Aerospace Scholars Program in Huntsville, Alabama—he had previously gone through. Since that time, the Team had been scrambling to fundraise for its trip and prepare its experiment.
